Dissection of the Anatomy Trains

In early 2006, Tom and a team of students joined Todd Garcia at the Laboratory of Anatomical Enlightenment near Denver, Colorado to attempt a dissection of the Anatomy Trains myofascial continuities. The results became the basis for our first Dissection DVD. The multimedia bits in the column to the right show you how very real and palpable the Anatomy Trains actually are.

In May 2007 Tom returned to Denver for the first dissection of a fresh tissue cadaver and in 2009 and 2010 he again led students on research dissections, photos of which can be seen in this gallery.

The excellent film footage of the 2010 dissection formed the basis for the second dissection DVD, Anatomy Trains Revealed, available in our website store.

In January 2013, Tom will be leading another dissection class at the Laboratories of Anatomical Enlightenment in Tempe, AZ. Registration is still open for this class, call the Kinesis office at 888 546-3747
