James Earls challenges the conventional teaching of musculoskeletal anatomy by advocating for a fresh perspective. He calls for the introduction of new tools and terminology to capture and describe anatomy in motion. He suggests that observing diverse bodies in various environments can enhance our understanding of anatomy.
Earls delves into the profound implications of understanding fascial tissue interconnectedness, often referred to as anatomy trains, myofascial chains, meridians, or slings. He emphasizes the significance of tensegrity in appreciating the complexity and interconnectedness of real-world body movements. By comparing and contrasting different theories and metaphors of myofascial continuities with common real-life movements like sports exercises and yoga asanas, Earls illustrates the practical applications and usefulness of each theoretical system in various situations and challenges.
Drawing on up-to-date research, Earls addresses critical questions for physical and manual therapists. He explores whether contiguous tissues truly demonstrate force transmission and communication along those lines. Additionally, he examines whether fascial tissue must be continuous for the body to effectively transfer force.
Functional Anatomy of Movement is written in a clear and accessible manner, accompanied by comprehensive illustrations. It serves as a valuable resource for physical therapists, chiropractors, bodyworkers, and teachers of yoga and Pilates, providing practical applications and innovative tools to deepen their understanding of anatomy and movement.
