Born to Walk : Lotus Books : 9781913088101 : 1913088103 : 26 May 2020 : Understand the complexity of movement in this revised edition of the definitive guide to the physiology and mechanics of upright walking-now updated with 50% new material. Incorporates the Anatomy Trains model of human anatomy, plus the latest science on assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and sports medicine. The ability to walk upright on two legs is one of the major traits distinguishing us as humans, and yet the reasons for its development remain a mystery among scientists. In Born to Walk, author James Earls explores the mystery of walking's evolution by describing the complex mechanisms enabling us to be efficient in bipedal movement. Viewing the whole body as an interconnected unit, he explains how we can regain a flowing efficiency within our gait-an efficiency that is part of our natural design. Based on Thomas Myers's Anatomy Trains model of human anatomy as well as the latest science in paleoanthropology
