Different. Holistic. Alternative.

As soft tissue therapists, we have a dissection-based bias.

We are taught to use an anatomy that was never intended for treating movement-related pain. Dissection is a fundamental part of the science of anatomy—useful in its proper context—but not vital to our work.

Instead, movement is.

Movement does not happen muscle-by-muscle or structure-by-structure but within the anatomical planes of motion, where the integumentary, muscular, skeletal, and other systems collaborate as an integrated whole.

Motion is holistic.

With a static, dissection-based view, we will always see individual parts rather than the moving body as a system.

A movement-based understanding of anatomy helps us to move beyond this limitation. It enables us to leverage the reciprocal relationships between skin, muscles, joints, and motion—bringing us closer to effective, meaningful clinical results.

For better treatment outcomes, move beyond classic anatomy and explore the practical, reciprocal relationships that define the human body in motion.

  1. Willem

    When clients visit me for the first time, I use the atlas to help them understand the body’s reciprocal relationships. During treatment, I use it to look up interconnected, motion-involved skin, muscles, and joints. It is quite handy.
