Osteopathy

Ida Rolf considered her work to be a subset of osteopathy, and the Anatomy Trains scheme is built from the same principles. Anatomy Trains is a significant contribution to 'Spatial Medicine' - how the soft-tissues contributes as a whole to the spatial health of the individual - a unified coordination of the skeleton, the cartilage, the ligamentous bed (the inner bag), the myofasciae (the outer bag), the meninges, the visceral coelomic bags - all surrounding the nervous, vascular, and alimentary systems.

Osteopaths who work with soft-tissues can use Anatomy Trains to add to their visual and manual assessment tools, and the soft-tissue treatments that proceed from it.
