    1) The document discusses Tom Myers' Anatomy Trains model, which maps the myofascial chains that transmit force and create structural compensation in the body. It focuses on the Deep Front Line, which forms the inner stability of the leg and counterbalances the Lateral Line. 2) The Deep Front Line runs along the front of the thigh and groin up to the neck. In the neck, the Deep Front Line muscles of longus colli and longus capitis can prevent the head from moving into a forward posture. 3) The document provides diagrams and descriptions of the Deep Front Line's path and related muscles, and advertises upcoming webinars and courses on Anatomy Trains and orthoped

    The key takeaways are an introduction to Anatomy Trains which maps the longitudinal fascial chains in the body, and an overview of some of the main lines including the Superficial Front Line, Superficial Back Line, and Deep Front Line.

    The main anatomical lines described are the Superficial Front Line, Superficial Back Line, Spiral Line, Arm Lines, and Deep Front Line.

    The Deep Front Line starts in the toes and leg, running up the front of the adductors and inside the quads to the groin. It then travels through the psoas complex and neck muscles before connecting to structures in the head.

    The Core - The Deep Front Line

    Anatomy Trains One way to see


    myofascial patterning

    Anatomy
    Trains

    is the anatomy of connection bringing the fascia into


    myofascial
    maps the longitudinal functional
    chains that transmit force and
    create structural or postural
    compensation

    Dr Ida P Rolf, Ph. D.


    1896 - 1979
    - the originator of
    Structural Integration
    - pioneer in
    understanding the role
    of fascia

    Superficial Front Line


    the Protector
    &
    Superficial Back Line
    the Lifter

    The Lateral Line


    Lateral bending
    Movement container
    Lacing the front and
    back together
    Outer stabilization

    The Spiral Line


    - the double helix

    Mediates
    rotations
    (outer)

    The Spiral
    Line crosses
    the midline twice
    -

    once between
    the shoulder
    blades, and
    once over the
    navel.

    The Arm Lines


    Two in the front
    and two in the
    back
    Go from the
    axial skeleton to
    the fingers

    Superficial Back Arm Line

    The Superficial Front


    Arm Line

    Deep Back Arm Line

    The Deep Front Arm Line

    AT_2ed._Fig._9.3

    The Deep Front Line


    starts with the long
    toe flexors and the
    tibialis posterior

    AT_2ed._Fig._9.4

    The first track of


    the DFL is the
    deep posterior
    compartment

    Sandwiched
    in between
    the
    Superficial
    Front and
    Back Lines

    The DFL is
    right up
    against the
    interosseous
    membrane

    AT_2ed._fig._9.8

    10

    The Deep Front Line:


    forms the inner line of
    the stability of the leg and so
    counterbalances the
    Lateral Line
    is largely hidden
    under the soleus, so
    treat right along the
    edge of the tibia
    AT_2ed._Fig._9.9

    The DFL
    connects
    over the back
    of the knee
    to the
    adductor
    magnus

    11

    AT_2ed._Fig._9.12

    This posterior track


    leads up to the deep
    lateral rotators and
    the pelvic floor via
    the posterior surface
    of adductor magnus

    12

    But the main


    track of the DFL
    runs up the
    front of the
    adductors (and
    inside the
    quads and
    under the
    sartorius) to the
    femoral triangle
    in the groin.

    13

    The Psoas Complex

    AT_2ed._Fig._9.22

    14

    In my world, the
    psoas major is a
    triangular muscle
    with a complex
    action on the spine:
    The upper psoas
    creates / stabilizes
    lumbar flexion
    The lower psoas
    creates / stabilizes
    lumbar
    hyperextension

    The DFL surrounds the organs

    15

    AT_2ed._Fig._9.37

    AT_2ed._Fig._9.39

    16

    The neck is three cylinders


    - superficial, motor, and visceral.

    A lot of Anatomy Trains go through the neck

    The DFL runs up the front of the motor


    cylinder and behind the visceral cylinder.

    17

    Only the muscles of


    the DFL - longus
    colli and longus
    capitis - can stop the
    head from moving
    down and forward
    into head forward
    posture

    The hyoid complex goes


    from the back of the
    sternum to the base of the
    tongue

    18

    The base of the tongue leads into the jaw


    muscles

    The visceral sac


    hangs involves the
    lower skull and
    hangs from the
    neurocranium - the
    a) pituitary,
    b) sphenobasilar
    junction, and
    c) central raph of
    the pharynx
    are all within a few
    cms of each other.
