Get a multi-dimensional understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy with Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists and Movement Professionals, 4th Edition. This hugely successful, one-of-a-kind title continues to center on the application of anatomy trains across a variety of clinical assessment and treatment approaches - demonstrating how painful problems in one area of the body can be linked to a "silent area" away from the problem, and ultimately giving rise to new treatment strategies. This new fourth edition has been fully updated with the latest evidence-based research and includes new coverage of anatomy trains in motion using Pilates-evolved movement, anatomy trains in horses and dogs, and the updated fascial compendium on elements, properties, neurology, and origins of the fascial system. This new edition also features an enhanced eBook format included with purchase as well as new photos and images throughout both text versions. In all, this unique exploration of the role of fascial in healthy movement and postural distortion is an essential read for physical therapists, massage therapists, craniosacral therapists, yoga instructors, osteopathologists, manual therapists, athletic and personal trainers, dance instructors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and any professional working in the field of movement. Revolutionary approach to the study of human anatomy provides a holistic map of myoanatomy to help improve the outcomes of physical therapies that are traditionally used to manage pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. Relevant theory descriptions are applied to all common types of movement, posture analysis, and physical treatment modalities. Intuitive content organization allows students to reference the concept quickly or gain a more detailed understanding of any given area according to need. Section on myofascial force transmission in gait dynamics is written by guest author James Earls. Robust appendices discuss the relevance of the Anatomy Trains concept to the work of Dr Louis Schultz (Meridians of Latitude), Ida Rolf (Structural Integration), and correspondences with acupuncture meridians. New photos and images of fascial tissues, adhesions, and layers provide a better understanding of text content. Revised and expanded content reflects the most up-to-date research and latest evidence for the scientific basis of common clinical findings. New, larger library of videos includes animations and webinars with the author. New Anatomy Trains in Motion section by guest author Karin Gurtner uses Pilates-evolved movement to explore strength and plasticity along myofascial meridians. New addition: Anatomy Trains in Quadrupeds (horses and dogs) is mapped for equine and pet therapies by Rikke Schultz, DVM, Tove Due, DVM, and Vibeke Elbrond, DVM, PhD. New appendix: Updated fascial compendium on elements, properties, neurology, and origins of the fascial system. NEW! enhanced eBook version is included with print purchase, which allows students to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

La nuova edizione di questo manuale che costituisce un successo internazionale estende la prospettiva e la pratica sul sistema miofasciale.Cosa sono i meridiani miofasciali? Gli studi di anatomia tradizionali pongono l’attenzione sui singoli muscoli, sui loro innesti e sui loro collegamenti con le ossa. Meridiani Miofasciali estende la conoscenza della trasmissione della forza miofasciale e degli effetti che, sia in condizioni fisiologiche e sia patologiche, si possono produrre quando la distribuzione della tensione è interrotta, anche a una certa distanza un trauma o uno stato doloroso.Questo volume descrive chiaramente le continuità funzionalmente integrate dell’intero organismo all’interno della rete miofasciale, costituita da tracciabili “meridiani” della miofascia. Stabilità, stazione, tensione, fissazione, resilienza e compensazione posturale sono tutte distribuite lungo queste linee.Il libro, che si basa sulla mappa dei meridiani, presenta molte nuove strategie olistiche per terapisti manuali e del movimento finalizzate a ripristinare e rafforzare la postura e la funzione del movimento. Caratteristiche- Un layout progettato per consentire al lettore di cogliere rapidamente i concetti e acquisire una più dettagliata conoscenza di ogni specifica area in base alla necessità- Simboli che indirizzano a specifiche aree d’interesse, per esempio terapia manuale, terapia del movimento, valutazione visiva, educazione cinestesica, materiale video di supporto- Illustrazione delle più recenti prove su base scientifica delle scoperte cliniche, incluse le dissezioni fasciali umane- Analisi del ruolo della fascia intesa come il più ampio organo sensoriale- Aggiornamenti sulla teoria e la pratica – per esempio, sul ruolo della fascia nella distribuzione della tensione e su come le deformazioni della tensione generano stati dolorosi- Una nuova sezione si occupa del ruolo della teoria sui meridiani miofasciali nell’analisi della deambulazione
