Foreword

In a larger sense, this Anatomy Trains website is an on-going inquiry into the significance of form and shape - how we make patterns, and the limits of change and development with new 'in-form-ation'. From the individual cell to the social and cultural context, we are interested in morphogenesis, as well as morphostasis and morphokinesis - how we take form, how we get stuck, and how we mature and grow out of such restrictions.

Anatomy Trains is rapidly being taken up by many health professions - osteopathy, chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, bodywork, somatics, yoga, and personal training of all types, as well as by athletes and savvy consumers - to effect lasting changes in body structure and movement.

On this site, you can explore Anatomy Trains concepts via the book, a library of supporting research, articles, links, DVDs and other supporting products; join a forum discussing Anatomy Trains in practice; search a complete calendar of Anatomy Trains courses and events; or learn about Tom Myers, the author of Anatomy Trains, and the teaching staff.

And of course you can read how Anatomy Trains got started.

Also on this site, you can explore KMI - Kinesis Myofascial Integration - an application of the Anatomy Trains schema to Structural Integration. Here you can search for KMI practitioners, learn about professional training and certification in KMI, and view the calendar of KMI classes and events.

Additionally, this site contains 'big picture' explorations of Fascial Tensegrity, Spatial Medicine, and KQ (Kinesthetic Intelligence and Physical Education for the 21st century).

Anatomy Trains and KMI are both projects of Kinesis, Inc.

What is the relationship between KMI and Anatomy Trains?

And finally, is your organization interested in sponsoring an Anatomy Trains class?
