Thank you for your interest! Registration for this course is now closed. Please email info@anatomytrains.com with any questions.
Please join us for this unique Dissection Livestream event, “A Deep Dive into the Pelvis” with Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers, Master Dissector Todd Garcia, and Kinetikos President and Master Japanese Translator Kaori Tani.
Our livestream dissection will focus on the intricacies of lumbopelvic stability, the pelvic joints, ligaments and muscles, and pelvic floor structures with both a male and female donor for rich comparative anatomy.
This dissection – 3 x 3 hr modules – will be translated live into Japanese. This event will be live in English with Japanese translation. Each module is 3 hours long.
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.
