Muscles and Meridians by Phillip Beach Do Dac Osnz
Firmly based in an understanding of evolutionary and developmental biology, this volume introduces some of the keys that open the way to an understanding of the Contractile Field (CF) model - a novel concept which promotes a fresh approach to exercise and represents useful means of understanding and treating musculoskeletal disorders.
'The biomechanical and postural concepts emerging from Phillip Beach's study of contractility and vertebrate movement patterns are revolutionary and clinically relevant to all manual therapists and acupuncturistsThey change the way we need to view the body and its behaviour'. Leon Chaitow, Registered Osteopathic Practitioner and Senior Lecturer, University of Westminster, London, UK 'Reflecting his extensive education, profound explorations, and years of practical experience, Phillip Beach's ideas braid movement, embryology, and acupuncture into a unique and useful systemic perspective'. Thomas W. Myers, author of Anatomy Trains
