Using the holistic longitudinal anatomy model of Thomas Myers’ Anatomy Trains as a guide, James has created a user friendly movement based workshop.

The workshop explores upright motion, breathing, eccentric anatomical loading and movement patterns to streamline a holistic approach to back pain strategies in both clinic and studio environments.

The workshop gives manual therapists and movement professionals a subtle insight into understanding the anatomical needs of the back pain client and addressing those needs in a safe and simple way. The workshop covers client assessment, myofascialmove strategy creation and movement selection for optimal back health.

Myofascialmoves has a strong practical component complimented by science based principles and strategies that you can implement immediately into the clinic or studio environment.

“This workshop is the culmination of my clinical and studio approaches to myofascial back pain and dysfunction” explains James.

The complex relationships between fascia, muscles and joints will often dictate the variations in response to treatments that therapists provide or the exercise programs that they recommend. If you are interested in functional exercise the Tom Myers 2nd Edition of Anatomy Trains is an essential addition to your library. By using Myofascial Meridians, Myers provides a unique new map of the fascial connections through the muscles that leads to new understanding of the connectivity in the body, and directly to new therapeutic strategies, especially for long-standing compensatory patterns in client stance and movement.

Anatomy Trains 2E coverIt is a very well illustrated book which explains how patterns of strain communicate through the myofascial webbing, contributing to postural compensation and movement stability.

This book demonstrates exactly how the muscles connect within the connect tissue to affect posture, compensatory strain, and pain patterns.
