The Bodies Fascia System

Excerpt from Anatomy Trains Thomas W Myers
Fig. 1.56 The rest of the body in a simple tensegrity rendition. This structure is resilient and responsive, like a real human, but is of course static compared to our coordinated myofascial responses. The position of the wooden struts (bones) is dependent on the balance of the elastics (myofasciae) and the surrounding superficial fascial ‘membrane’. The feet, knees, and pelvis of this model have very lifelike responses to pressure. If we could integrate the spine pictured in Figure 1.55 and a more complex cranial structure (as in Figure 1.57 or see www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk), we would have a closer working model.
This would not be complete without Thomas Myers 101
