La comprensione del ruolo della fascia nel movimento fisiologico e nella lesione posturale è di vitale importanza per chi lavora con il corpo e con il movimento, dai terapisti tradizionali agli operatori in discipline somatiche e bio-naturali. Meridiani Miofasciali presenta una visone olistica dell'intero sistema miofasciale e dell'anatomia funzionale e del movimento in cui le connessioni corporee tra muscoli e fascia sono descritte dettagliatamente per la prima volta. Thomas Myers, usando la metafora dei treni e delle linee ferroviarie, spiega come gli schemi delle tensioni comunicano attraverso la rete miofasciale, favorendo l'atteggiamento posturale e l'equilibrio nel movimento. Scritto in uno stile semplice e scorrevole anche nelle sue applicazioni pratiche, Meridiani Miofasciali sarà apprezzato dai terapisti manuali e del movimento come: medici, fisioterapisti, neuro e psicomotricisti; osteopati e chiropratici; trainer sportivi e massaggiatori; preparatori atletici; specialisti in agopuntura, riflessologie, craniosacrale, shiatsu, yoga, danza e movimento.
