Anatomy Trains

What Anatomy Trains does

Anatomy Trains is a privately held educational company founded in 1994 by Thomas (Tom) Myers and headquartered in Walpole, Maine. It is the global publisher of the Anatomy Trains Myofascial Meridians system, a proprietary methodology mapping twelve whole-body fascial pathways (Superficial Back Line, Deep Front Line, Spiral Line, Lateral Line, Arm and Functional Lines, etc.) that connects individual muscles into functional complexes across the body. The company's core technology is this codified framework, supported by related methodologies including the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) 12-session protocol, the BodyReading visual postural assessment approach, and a fascial dissection curriculum co-developed with master prosector Todd Garcia.

The company monetizes the methodology through a multi-format educational product stack: a foundational book (Anatomy Trains, 4th edition at $79.95, plus posters, audiobook, and bundled packages), an on-demand video catalog sold individually ($25-$150) or in bundles ($200-$400), a self-serve video subscription service (Anatomy Trains For All, monthly or annual with a 7-day free trial hosted on watch.anatomytrains.com), in-person workshops priced at approximately $395-$695 in the US and €695-€745 in Europe, intensive summer courses in Maine, and a multi-series ATSI certification program that serves as the practitioner credential. The Body3 platform acts as a digital hub for additional self-serve content.

Anatomy Trains serves manual and movement therapy professionals worldwide — massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, yoga and Pilates instructors, personal trainers, structural integrators, and (per the Netflix Quarterback docuseries feature) elite athletes. Despite a core team of only 1-10 employees, the company reaches customers in 40+ countries through a global network of certified independent teachers, regional reseller entities (Anatomy Trains UK & Europe Ltd and Anatomy Trains Australia), local partners (Incitus in Netherlands/Germany, MOVUTO in Poland), and retreat venue partners (1440 Multiversity, Lumeria). CEO Melanie Burns, who also directs the UK/Europe entity, oversees operations alongside founder Tom Myers and a small US management team (social media/marketing, student support, continuing education management).
