A-Z Course 17 (6.5 HR/CE)

Enjoy lifetime access to this online course.

In the 17th course of our journey “Anatomy from A to Z,” we explore the textural layer of deep muscle tissues that supports the spine. 

This course includes a detailed exploration and dissection of the muscle tissues of the iliacus, psoas, quadratus lumborum, diaphragm and intertransversarii. Participants will also meet some retroperitoneal structures (inferior vena cava, kidney ureter, and ovarian vein) as well as the pericardial membranes and lumbar plexus. Through this experience, participants will gain a rich and deep understanding of the continuities, connections, and relationships between these named muscles and their surrounding tissues, including bony landmarks, fasciae, and visceral elements. Structures will also be compared ex-situ to provide an appreciation for the diversity and range of anatomical expression. Through cultivating a greater appreciation of the human form, participants will be better able to apply their anatomical knowledge to their bodywork and movement practices.
