Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Whether we describe them as anatomy trains, myofascial chains, meridians, or slings-insights into the interconnected nature of fascial tissue have had a profound impact on our understanding of anatomy.The concept of tensegrity-the idea that changes in tension may affect the whole body rather than just one part-has likewise opened up new appreciations for the complex and interdependent nature of real-world bodily movements. But musculoskeletal anatomy still tends to be taught in a drastically simplified fashion, through the study of fixed anatomical positions that do little to prepare us for the reality of actual movements.In Functional Myofascial Anatomy, James Earls suggests that we need a new set of tools and vocabulary for watching and describing anatomy in motion. Earls argues that it is seeing movement in action-in different bodies and in different environments-that should inform our understanding of anatomy, rather than the other way around.By situating the different theories and metaphors of myofascial continuities against the context of common real-life movements such as sports exercises and yoga asanas, Earls explains how each theoretical system may be useful in different situations and applicable to different issues.Using up-to-date research, Earls digs into important questions for physical and manual therapists- which tissues really are contiguous? Does continuity of tissue actually show or demonstrate transmission of force and communication along those lines? And does fascial tissue have to be continuous for the body to actually transfer force?Accessibly written and fully illustrated, Functional Myofascial Anatomy offers practical applications for physical therapists, chiropractors, and bodyworkers, as well as new tools for teachers of yoga and pilates to develop a deeper understanding of anatomy and movement.A unique and comprehensive approach to functional anatomy through the lens of myofascial continuities, from the coauthor of Fascial Release for Structural BalanceWhether we describe them as anatomy trains, myofascial chains, meridians, or slings-insights into the interconnected nature of fascial tissue have had a profound impact on our understanding of anatomy.The concept of tensegrity-the idea that changes in tension may affect the whole body rather than just one part-has likewise opened up new appreciations for the complex and interdependent nature of real-world bodily movements.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The revised edition of the definitive book on the mechanics, mysteries, and methods of upright walkingUnderstand the complexity of movement in this revised edition of the definitive guide to the physiology and mechanics of upright walking-now updated with 50% new material.Incorporates the Anatomy Trains model of human anatomy, plus the latest science on assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and sports medicine.The ability to walk upright on two legs is one of the major traits distinguishing us as humans, and yet the reasons for its development remain a mystery among scientists. In Born to Walk, author James Earls explores the mystery of walking's evolution by describing the complex mechanisms enabling us to be efficient in bipedal gait. Viewing the whole body as an interconnected unit, he explains how we can regain a flowing efficiency within our gait-an efficiency which is part of our natural design. Based on Thomas Myers's Anatomy Trains model of human anatomy, as well as the latest science in paleoanthropology, sports medicine, and anatomy, Earls's work demonstrates how the whole body collaborates in walking, and distills the complex actions into a simple sequence of "essential events" that engage the myofascia and utilize its full potential.Offering a unique combination of anatomy, body reading assessment, and technique, this revised edition provides bodyworkers, physical therapists, and movement teachers with new research on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. Earls offers a convenient model for understanding the complexity of movement while gaining a deeper insight into the physiology and mechanics of the walking process. This book is designed for movement therapy practitioners, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, and bodyworkers hoping to understand gait and its mechanics. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in evolution and movement.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Understanding the Human Foot is a full-color, up-to-date overview of the structure and function of the foot, written for physical therapists and movement practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of holistic anatomy. Readers will gain perspective on the impacts of foot shape; the interdependence of form and function; and the cellular processes that determine how our tissue is designed. Most importantly, author James Earls demonstrates how the foot relates to and interacts with the rest of the body during movement, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive holistic approach to assessing, troubleshooting, and addressing functional and structural foot issues.Starting with big-picture questions--what is a foot, and what is it used for? How does it work, both on its own and as part of a whole?--before zeroing in on the 26 bones, 33 joints, and many muscles that make up the foot, Earls teaches anatomy the way he wishes he'd been taught 30 years ago- with a holistic emphasis on interrelated systems, real-life applications, and approachable, easy-to-understand language. He shares-Full-color illustrations for easy reference and comprehensive understandingAn overview of the bones, ligaments, and extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the footHow your gait impacts the rest of the body--and can cause problems as high up as the neck and shouldersHow to assess structural problems of the footCorrective exercisesA footwear guide to choosing the best shoe for your foot typeAn essential resource for bodyworkers, physical therapists, and sports medicine practitioners--a vital guide to understanding the anatomy, form, and mechanics of the human foot.Understanding the Human Foot is a full-color, up-to-date overview of the structure and function of the foot, written for physical therapists and movement practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of holistic anatomy.
