Anatomy Trains 3-Series is a 3-session protocol designed to assess and enhance your body’s structural alignment through the fascial system. Each 90-minute session focuses on improving body balance and efficiency by addressing tensegrity—the concept of balancing tension and compression in the body to optimize the transfer and absorption of ground reaction forces. The process begins with a body reading, where the practitioner evaluates the relationship between various structures and joint levels to gather information on alignment and areas for improvement. Based on this data, a customized strategy is developed to promote balance, fluidity, and range of motion. Session 1 targets the pelvic girdle and legs, session 2 focuses on the shoulder girdle and arms, and session 3 addresses the spine. This approach is beneficial for sports performance, rehab, injury prevention, muscle pain relief, and stress management.
