Review
“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
“Fascial release has never been made more understandable and achievable – a
well illustrated and excellent read.”
—Leon Chaitow, ND, DO, Honorary Fellow, University of Westminster, London
Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies
“This book is a thorough and refreshing approach to regional fascial release
technique.”
—Erik Dalton, PhD, author of Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques®
“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.”

Applied Physiology, Ulm University. Research Director of the European

Product Description
Fascia, the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help clients with many chronic conditions, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing ongoing aches and pains. In Fascial Release for Structural Balance, authors James Earls and Thomas Meyers—both respected bodywork professionals—argue that approaching the fascia requires “a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques.” Designed for any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy, including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists, this book offers a detailed introduction to structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper assessment of a patient through “bodyreading.” Featuring 150 black-and-white photographs, Fascial Release for Structural Balance provides the information therapists need to give effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients’ shape and structure.

hands on,
This review is from: Fascial Release for Structural Balance (Paperback)
I bought this book to add some techniques to my toolbox as an RMT (reg Massage therapist).Long story short very good illustrations and excellent pictures (both full-color) with clear guides on 'how to'. Refers to the materials and principles known from 'Anatomytrains'. Easy to understand but still very precise and professional descriptions, lots of little hints and tips. Very good value for the price. recommend it to anyone in the bodywork sector, love it

Fascial Release for Structural Balance--Earls and Myers,
By Arthur Riggs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fascial Release for Structural Balance (Paperback)
Although I commented on this book above in the critical reviews, I feel that it is appropriate to heap some more praise in a more informal and reader-oriented venue. The more I read (and re-read) the book, the more impressed I am at the eclectic combination of two great minds and bodyworkers. James and Tom do a fine symbiotic dance that exponentially expands their individual skills. My biggest concern is that only people who do structural integration will pick up this book to reap its benefits. "Fascial Release for Structural Balance" will be of great benefit to the beginning therapist specializing in relaxation work as well; it will open whole new vistas, not just with specific techniques, but more importantly, with enlightening one's deeper understanding of the human body that will improve the work in the whole range of manual therapies.Art Riggs, Certified Advanced Rolfer® 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Fascial Release for Structural Balance (Paperback)
I got this book about a month ago and it has already changed the way I massage in a significant way. My ability to BodyRead clients' posture has improved, even though I have read Anatomy Trains already. I never felt that I was that great with Fascial release techniques, but now I have been using them with everyone and it has been working very well.

Great book on Structural Integration,

This review is from: Fascial Release for Structural Balance (Paperback)
These highly effective techniques are presented in an easy to understand format, with clear pictures. There is also a brief overview of the Anatomy Trains to supplement the techniques and help build efficient plans for clients with different postural compensation patterns. This is one of the best massage books I have ever read!
