Anatomy Trains (by Thomas Myers)

Anatomy Trains, a concept by Thomas Myers, describes interconnected lines of fascia—fibrous connective tissue—that run throughout the body, linking muscles, bones, and organs. These “train-like” pathways influence movement, posture, and stability by creating continuous chains that transmit force and support. Understanding these lines helps therapists and practitioners see how different parts of the body affect each other, emphasizing that addressing issues along one chain can improve overall function. It's a holistic perspective, highlighting the importance of the body's integrated system rather than isolated muscles or joints.
