One short course. . . long-lasting results for you!

A revolutionary map with practical results! Transform your view of myofascial anatomy and expand your ability to assess postural and movement patterns, and to create lasting fascial change with your hands. In this new and expanded 21-hour workshop format you will learn about the myofascial tissue and its many roles in the body. You will begin to appreciate how the body incorporates the Anatomy Train Lines to create easy and graceful movement – provided they are in some form of balance and harmony; restriction or weakness in one section can have many knock-on effects elsewhere.

This workshop will show you how that happens, how to trace the lines of strain and, most importantly, how you can develop strategies to deal with them. This is the first workshop to combine Anatomy Trains theory alongside structural and functional anatomy and analysis, blending the concepts of tensegrity with elastic recoil for movement efficiency.

• Get the latest information on fascia, muscle, and movement 

• Be able to identify the 12 myofascial meridians and their link to human growth, development, perception and consciousness 

• Accurately “Body Read” posture and movement; assess your clients in a new way
• Gain effective myofascial and movement strategies
• Develop treatment strategies specific to your clients’ 
structural and functional patterns 


Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function courses give you new techniques to transform structure by reaching deeper issues in the tissues.

Note: This course is the pre-requisite for the ATSI Professional Certification Training. 

Anatomy Trains in Structure and Function / Structural Essentials Program

• Functional, Fascial and Structural approaches in one program
• Understand how the body really moves,
• Break the myths of anatomy and physiology
• And learn to make the appropriate changes to maximize efficiency. 

Note: You MUST take the Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function course before taking the SE courses. Familiarity with the Anatomy Trains lines and concepts is key to getting the most from the program

Continue your journey with:

The Structural Essentials Series. These regional intensives combine global postural assessment with movement and manual techniques for efficient and long-lasting results.  Each of the 6 SE classes are based on consistent functional movement concepts, applied to everyday movement and our new understanding of myofascial efficiency and whole-body response. Important research findings are integrated into the presentations, along with cutting-edge applications that can be used for clients on your next day in clinic.

Designed for the busy manual therapist, the SE workshops are most easily absorbed in the order outlined below but you can do them in any order as time permits.

1. Arches & Legs – 3 days
2. Fans of the Hip – 2 ½ days
3. Abdomen, Chest & Breath – 2 ½ days

Instructor Info:

Cristy Harper is originally from Victoria, BC, Canada, where she began her studies in Massage Therapy in 2003. Since 2013 she’s been following her husband’s military career across the country, with the most recent adventure to bringing them back to Victoria, BC. They are proud to support their country, and look forward to each move as an opportunity to grow and learn and embrace what each Canadian city has to offer.

Cristy’s fascination with human anatomy has fueled her educational endeavours, which lead her to certification in ATSI in Seattle Washington in 2011, followed by her advanced certification in Maine in 2014. She has also trained and certified in Neuro-functional Acupuncture in 2015 at McMaster University, has joined Tom and her colleagues for 2 human anatomy dissections in Tempe, Arizona, and has significant personal experience in natural bodybuilding, strength, and conditioning.

Teaching has always been something that she knew she would pursue. Since 2017, Cristy has been travelling extensively assisting & teaching Anatomy trains courses in Canada, USA, New Zealand, and Australia. A recent highlight was attending the 2018 Fascial Research Congress in Berlin where she was able to assist Tom and her colleagues, followed by having the opportunity to be present for the gathering of the greatest minds in fascial research.

Cristy hopes to continue to inspire the next generation of bodywork and movement professionals, teaching the Anatomy Trains Structural Essentials in Canada, and abroad, whenever the opportunity presents itself.
