An illustrated guide to anatomy and biomechanics for aerialists who want to optimize their performance and train safely Specifically designed for aerialists—including those who do trapeze, silks, and other aerial arts— Applied Anatomy of Aerial Arts is an invaluable resource for those who want to optimize their performance and train safely. Using a biomechanical and movement-based approach, Emily Scherb—a physical therapist who specializes in the care, treatment, and education of circus performers—explains the anatomical rationale for progressions of learning and demonstrates simple movements to achieve the coordination, muscular control, strength, and fitness to hang with correct form, how to progress from hanging into a pull up, an inversion, and beyond with a strong center, precise muscle sequencing, and ease of movement. Aerialists will learn how bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues allow for specific movements and gain an appreciation for concepts of proximal stability. This full-color illustrated guide lays a solid foundation for beginners and advanced students with a wealth of insights into their own performance as well as refreshers on fundamentals in warm ups and conditioning. It explains how to structure a training session, how to care for injuries, and best practices for basic self first aid.

The 91 poses in this manual are centered around splits and sorted into chapters based on their unique entries. For example: poses from single footlocks, double footlocks, inversions, belays and more. Poses are accompanied by full color photos, tutorials, tips, and warnings. They range from beginner all the way to advanced movements and should be performed responsibly. This book is meant to be a companion to your practice and never as a sole source of learning. Every skill level can benefit from this guide! Beginners will be encouraged by all the pose possibilities, as well as benefit greatly from the tutorial photos, tips and warnings for each pose! The intermediate to advanced aerialists can enhance their skills from our tips/tutorials and will benefit from having all these splits in one manual!

Here you can quickly scan and see everything the book has to offer. This also works great when wanting to pick and choose a pose to practice on! Having knowledge of footlocks, inversions and a basic belays will also greatly enhance what you get out of this guide! I'm so excited to present to you 91 different ways to Split on Silks!
