Dissection Livestream Specialty Class Bundle: September 18 LumboPelvic Stability + December 4 The Nervous System

LumboPelvic Stability – A One-Day Layered Dissection with Tom Myers and Todd Garcia

Understanding our ’spinal engine’ requires first-hand knowledge of the many crossing layers of fascia and myofascial sheets around the spine. Module 1 explores the posterior side of this lumbar ‘pump’, from latissimus dorsi and the superficial nerves down through the more profound layers of the thoraco-lumbar fascia, linked to the erectors and posterior abdominals, and finally to the tiny (but neurologically mighty) muscles that truss the vertebrae deep in the neural arch.

A deeper understanding of lumbopelvic stability (and power) comes in Module 2, where we study the myofascial ‘grip’ on the front of the spine – the bodies, discs, and transverse processes. Here we expose the iliopsoas complex, the quadratus lumborum, and the deep autonomic and somatic nerves, as well as exploring discs and relevant ligaments. Putting the anterior and posterior together yields a coherent picture ofnhow the human animal stands up on its hind legs.

All in situ, all unfolding in real time with a master dissector, all untreated tissue, with natural colour and movement. This unique and one-off course is designed for osteopaths, physiotherapists, advanced trainers and rehabilitation workers. Come see the body’s actual ‘core’ for yourself.

This course will be provided over zoom webinar with multiple camera views, live chat and Q&A. Recordings will be provided via password protected streaming access for 5 days.

This special dissection livestream format allows us to go more deeply into the relationships and applications to multiple manual and movement modalities, from athletic training to trauma resolution to osteopathy.

This course is open to all, but due to its advanced nature, some prior experience with dissection, especially our 4-day dissection livestream, is recommended.

Tom says:  Even though I have championed the fascial system my entire career, the strangest and without doubt the system we know least is the nervous system.  In this one-day tour-de-force of dissection, we begin in the central nervous system – that one kilogram of custard that so runs our lives,  From the meninges to the brainstem, we will explore the major structures of the cerebrum and cerebellum, and their extensions into the cranial nerves.  Module ! ends with an exploration of the peripheral nervous system in the upper limb – the brachial plexus, axillary and arm nerves.  Module 2 continues our exploration out into the autonomic plexi of the lumbars and sensori-motor nerves all the way down the leg.

Those interested in nerve and artery work and those working with pain syndromes are especially recommended to this event.  We welcome everyone, of course, with an eye to expanding the working knowledge of bodywork professionals and movement teachers of all modalities.
