Fascial Integration

Fascia is the biological fabric that holds us together. It is a connective tissue found between the layers of muscle fibres, between muscles, around organs and connected in a web throughout the entire body.

With the Anatomy Trains Myofascial Meridians the fascia is organized in 7 different lines that are examined during a therapy session.  It is in these lines we see structural compensations which we are putting our hands on to dissolving neuromuscular tension, anhydrous areas, and possibly some kind of fascial densification. 

Anatomy Trains leads to practical new holistic strategies to improve stability, coordination, and resolve long-standing compensations in postural and movement patterns. Developed by author and bodyworker Thomas Myers in the 1990’s, Anatomy Trains has been welcomed and included in the curriculum by diverse health professionals – physical therapists, personal trainers, massage therapists, athletes and coaches, Pilates and yoga teachers, chiropractors and osteopaths – anyone interested in effecting lasting changes in body structure and movement through updating their idea of how the body regulates its biomechanics.

Thomas Myers studied directly with Drs. Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Buckminster Fuller. He has also studied with movement teachers Judith Aston, Emilie Conrad, and in the martial arts. His Structural Integration program is influenced by cranial, visceral, and intrinsic movement studies with European schools of osteopathy.
