I have been using the Anatomy Trains system approach since it was first published. I use it to illustrate concepts of movement and synergistic relationships in oppositional functions. Using Anatomy Trains to instruct the power of correct tactile guidance in movement biomechanics proves invaluable, and a better realistic model of functional anatomy. The Anatomy Trains posters are framed and permanently on display as a constant instructional reference. Thanks, Tom!
