Nel volume l'autore propone la linea da adottare per non tradire la fisiologia e l'anatomia, come accaduto fino a poco tempo fa. Nel volume, le catene muscolari del tronco delle opere precedenti sono state decodificate e la loro lettura del corpo umano ha fatto prendere coscienza all'autore dell'esistenza di un'organizzazione di catene: l'anatomia lo dimostra e lo conferma come specificato nel volume. Egli ci propone l'analisi del bacino e degli arti inferiori, differentemente da come era stata presentata nei volumi II e IV delle Catene muscolari, ormai datati, nella coerenza globale delle Catene fisiologiche che comprendono l'insieme delle catene muscolari, ma soprattutto la catena viscerale e la catena neurovascolare. Un'analisi completamente innovativa evidenzia le relazioni tra il piano muscolo-scheletrico e quello viscerale.
