Awesome place to start in terms of structural integration. Really makes you realize how important connective tissue is in terms of movement, and how it needs to be emphasized more in terms of creating sustainable training programs (or in terms of injury prevention/physical therapy). LENGTHENING is just as important as strengthening. Moreover, shows how the body moves in integration versus isolation, and specific sports specific examples (for example, knowing a judo roll utilizes the deep back ar...more
I used this book when I was working, but never actually read it cover to cover, so I am doing that now. So far it is actually amazing, and has helped add to my must reads. There are some great 'before their time' German scientists that were right on even back in the 30's!

As a therapist, I think the concept of individual muscle work is already exhausted and not working much for me anymore. This book gives me a new perspective on how muscle work as a functional unit by analyzing the myofascial meridian.
Chapter 1 was rather technical but the rest of the chapters were interesting read.
this is like Power vs Force for Massage!
I'm not a clinician nor a coach, but as an amateur athlete, the book opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at the body (for me at least). Now obviously an expert or practitioner is going to get a lot more out of this than I (using their experience to connect the dots of their education) but I feel a sense of awareness. For which I am very glad.
If anyone would like, I also wrote what I learned as part of a blog post: http://yusufahmedwriting.com/riding-t...

Anatomy Trains. It's a classic. The best part of reading Anatomy Trains was the discovery that Tom Myers has explanations for many of the patterns/associations I frequently see but couldn't explain with a traditional biomechanical model.
superb book if you have an interest in massage, rehabilitation, yoga or tai chi. More of a reference that I go back to often. Takes a long time to assimilate the information, but well worth the effort
What I've perused and heard from others is that this is an outstanding reference. Imagine, thinking of the body from the perspective of motion...!
Brilliantly written. Inspiring and validating and useful.
The illustrations in this book are brilliant. Great for continued use.

In massage school you hear a lot of 'everything is connected' in the body. This book helped me see this in a functional manner that I have been able to integrate into my massage practice.
If you do anything with human movement this is a must read. Very clinical and a heavy read but once you get into it, extremely fascinating and highly educational.

This book is always in the back of my mind when I'm looking for muscle patterns in people. Why does this hurt here? Oh, well, lookee over here...

I starting reading this book as a person interested in general anatomy, thinking I would get a quick fix from this book like all other books had before endowed me with.
Oh boy was I wrong.
This book took me on the long 'train' ride of discovering the body and looking at it as a unit than a sum of several parts. While a lot of other 'novice' books take the body piece by piece and describe function of each muscle in isolation and maybe at some point try to relate them to other body parts this one...more

I’ve finally finished this book! It’s a dense book filled with information, deserved a detailed read and probably a few more rounds of close reading to fully digest it. I took the Anatomy Trains Structure and Function course and that was definitely useful in understanding the core concepts of Anatomy Trains. The amount of information in this book is way more than the 3 day course, it’s like a treasure cove with gem everywhere for the person seeking to advance their knowledge about the human body...more

Great paradigm for understanding facial planes for movement and manual therapist. Gives a solid baseline understanding for further application of this concept. His writing style at times gets a little dense. My biggest complaint is the DVD rom that comes with the book. Can't play it on my computer, my blu ray or DVD player.
Why not make a more accessible format for a disk. This is really frustrating because I think to see many of the practical examples on the disc would make the concepts more ap...more

Brilliant, comprehensive and fascinating ... but I only was able to read until page 38 (the text is that dense!) before it had to go back to the library. BOOOOO!
I will be purchasing my own copy soon.
Even from 38 pages, I can tell you that this book is a must for all bodyworkers, massage therapists and yoga teachers interested in anatomy.

This book is dense! I teach yoga and I thought it would be really cool and help me understand more stuff. But it's hard to slog through. I wouldn't only recommend this to people who are ok with reading text books.
Major cerebral focused read...very interesting if you enjoy learning about connective tissues in the body. Put your science hat on :)
currently reading 2nd edition-updated and much better. finished short course with tom and starting another tomorrow. wow.

This is a fantastic book. It does a nice job of explaining the movement of pain in the muscles. Every Bodyworker should own a copy.
Great on teaching fascias planes and understanding why foot pain is related to low back pain and other examples .
As a personal trainer and yoga teacher I felt this as a must-read for professionals or for people with a great interest for the body in movement.

Sacred Contracts - Caroline Myss Summary

Caroline Myss, author of the New York Times bestsellers Anatomy of the Spirit and Why People Don’t Heal and How They Can, presents an exciting, highly original program in this long-awaited book. Based on her internationally popular workshop of the same name, Sacred Contracts is a brilliant synthesis of psychology, healing guidance, and spiritual insight. As a medical intuitive, Myss has found that people often don’t understand their purpose in life, which has led to a spiritual malaise of epidemic proportions. This metaphysical disease in turn leads to depression, anxiety, fatigue, and eventually physical illness. But our purpose—our individual Sacred Contract—is often difficult to apprehend. For this reason, Myss developed an enjoyable and ingenious process for deciphering your own Contract using a new theory of archetypes that builds on the works of Jung, Plato, and contemporary thinkers. She first recounts how the concept of Sacred Contracts took form in myths and other cultural traditions through the ages. She then examines the lives of the spiritual masters and prophets—Abraham, Jesus, the Buddha, and Muhammad—whose archetypal journeys illustrate the four stages of a Sacred Contract and provide clues for discovering your own. With her signature motivational style and stories, Myss explains how you can identify your particular spiritual energies, or archetypes—the gatekeepers of your higher purpose—and use them to help you find out what you are here on earth to learn and whom you are meant to meet. In coming to know your archetypal companions, you also begin to see how to live your life in ways that make the best use of your personal power and lead you to fulfill your greatest—in fact, your divine—potential. In this process, you learn how to see your life—and the lives of others—symbolically, allowing you to manage your personal power without getting caught up in emotional drama. You will also learn how to fulfill your Sacred Contract: what you and only you are here on earth to do. Finally, Myss offers specific guidance for locating your physical and emotional vulnerabilities and healing any susceptible areas. Both visionary and practical, Sacred Contracts is a completely unique process of self-discovery and spiritual archaeology and a bold, powerful work of spiritual wisdom.
