MUSCLES AND MERIDIANS – THE BOOK
Phillip’s book, Muscles and Meridians: The Manipulation of Shape (Elsevier 2010), breaks new conceptual ground in the realm of human movement. Firmly based in an understanding of evolutionary and developmental biology, this volume introduces the three core insights developed:
- Contractile Fields
- Archetypal Postures as an assessment methodology
- How these two ideas may be applied to understanding the world’s oldest medical map.
