Review
"With a wonderful blend of art and science, this text brings together many aspects of structural change grounded in anatomical precision.
It lets you see the relationships surrounding the body and how they link to produce the various patterns you will see in your clients, equally importantly, it gives you the strategies to address them." --Robert Schleip, PhD, MA, Director of Fascia Research Project, Institute of Applied Physiology, Ulm University. Research Director of the European Rolfing Association

"What a great idea to combine James Earls' expertise and philosophy with Tom Myers' classic contributions to structural bodywork. This is the long-awaited expansion of the Anatomy Trains theoretical concepts into a clearly written, functional `how to' manual that is a must-read textbook for all bodyworkers of all ranges of experience - not just structural integrators." --Art Riggs, Certified Advanced Rolfer® and massage therapist, author of Deep Tissue Massage: A Visual Guide to Therapy Techniques

"This book is a thorough and refreshing approach to regional fascial release technique." --Erik Dalton, PhD, author of Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques®
