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.

We succeeded beyond our dreams, and the results - photos and videos - are now available to you on DVD. The multimedia bits in the column to the right show you how very real and palpable the Anatomy Trains actually are.

All cadaver images within this educational material are the sole property of Laboratories of Anatomical Enlightenment, Inc. Cadaver images are not to be reproduced in any way. To do so is unlawful and ethically unacceptable.

In May 2007 Tom returned to Denver for a dissection of a fresh tissue cadaver.
