Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists

One short course … long lasting results for you!

Set your anatomy knowledge free! Thomas Myers’ Anatomy Trains® weekend intensives are holistic, fun and very useful. Completely transform your view of myofascial anatomy and expand your ability to assess your clients’.

The Anatomy Trains concept moves beyond mechanical «cause and affect» actions of muscles to the integrative relational connections of real-life functional movement. This is a revolutionary map for analyzing soft-tissue patterns, and developing strategies for unwinding these patterns via fascial and myofascial work.

Anatomy Trains offers skills that hands-on therapists, regardless of their modality, can use to see their clients more clearly and work more effectively.

BodyReading is an innovative method of analysing posture. The more you can see the more efficient your work will become.

The ability to visually assess your clients’ posture and patterns of compensation is a time-saving skill that focuses your work. Every symptom if part of a larger pattern. Learn to read these larger patterns in terms of where the skeleton is in space, and how the soft tissue creates or maintains this pattern. Understanding these patterns makes your work more efficient and long lasting in its effects.
