But musculoskeletal anatomy still tends to be taught in a drastically simplified fashion, through the study of fixed anatomical positions that do little to prepare us for the reality of actual movements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFunctional Myofascial Anatomy\u003c\/i\u003e, James Earls suggests that we need a new set of tools and vocabulary for watching and describing anatomy in motion. Earls argues that it is seeing movement in action--in different bodies and in different environments--that should inform our understanding of anatomy, rather than the other way around. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy situating the different theories and metaphors of myofascial continuities against the context of common real-life movements such as sports exercises and yoga asanas, Earls explains how each theoretical system may be useful in different situations and applicable to different issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing up-to-date research, Earls digs into important questions for physical and manual therapists: which tissues really are contiguous? Does continuity of tissue actually show or demonstrate transmission of force and communication along those lines? And does fascial tissue have to be continuous for the body to actually transfer force? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccessibly written and fully illustrated, \u003ci\u003eFunctional Myofascial Anatomy\u003c\/i\u003e offers practical applications for physical therapists, chiropractors, and bodyworkers, as well as new tools for teachers of yoga and pilates to develop a deeper understanding of anatomy and movement.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJAMES EARLS, MSc, is a writer, lecturer, and bodywork practitioner specializing in functional movement and structural integration.
