Anatomy Trains for Manual Therapists

Anatomy Trains® for Manual Therapists

 One short course. . . long-lasting results for you!

A revolutionary map with practical results!  Anatomy Trains® Myofascial Meridian intensives transform your view of myofascial anatomy and expand your ability to assess postural and movement patterns, and to create lasting fascial change with your hands.

Anatomy Trains moves beyond the familiar mechanical actions of muscles to the integrative relational connections of real-life functional movement. Use this holistic map to analyze soft-tissue patterns, and develop strategies for unwinding these patterns via fascial and myofascial work.

Anatomy Trains offers skills that hands-on therapists, regardless of their modality, can use to see their clients more clearly and work more effectively
