Synopsis

Unlock the power of fascial release with the ultimate guide to structural balance and pain relief. From the creator and bestselling author of Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists.

This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference Fascial Release for Structural Balance: Putting the Theory of Anatomy Trains into Practice brings the book up to date with the most current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body and how treatment affects it. This edition takes advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function, making it an even more essential guide.

Offering a detailed introduction to structural anatomy and fascial release therapy—including postural analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper assessment of a patient through "bodyreading"—the book features 150 color photographs for clear demonstration of each technique. The authors, both respected bodywork professionals, give any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy—including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists—the information they need to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients' shape and structure.

Fascia—the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs—plays a crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodywork practitioner or therapist can help with many chronic conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to their patients' ongoing aches and pains. Thomas Myers and James Earls argue that approaching the fascia requires "a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques."
