The Myofascial System in Form and Movement

The field of myofascial science is changing rapidly. In The Myofascial System in Form and Movement, Lauri Nemetz invites readers into a rich dialogue about movement.

Nemetz uses insights from our spatial relationship to the world to examine the human body. Giving voice to the ideas and work of leading figures in the field, she invites readers to develop their own ideas and offers suggestions for application that they can explore in their own bodies or with others.

With her extensive background in art history, myofascial movement, anatomical dissection and more, Nemetz uses her wealth of experience to weave the many facets of this evolving field into a visually rich and thought-provoking book.
