British Fascia Symposium Keynote 2020

  • Video: 1 hour 13 minutes
  • Reading: 5 minutes
  • Review: 7 minutes

 

In this keynote presentation for the 2020 British Fascia Symposium, Gil shares new and remarkable insights on the properties of fascia as gleaned from his work with microscopic images in the lab. 

What’s The Fuzz?! (Embodiment Conference 2020)

  • Video: 55 minutes
  • Reading: 5 minutes
  • Review: 5 minutes

 

In this keynote address for The Embodiment Conference, Gil shares key insights and learnings about his evolving understanding of the various expressions of fascia and “the fuzz.”

The Heart of the Matter (Embodiment Conference 2020)

  • Video: 54 minutes
  • Reading: 5 minutes
  • Review: 5 minutes

 

In this keynote address for The Embodiment Conference, Gil inspires and educates on the remarkable power and beauty of heart. Far more than being a “pump” in the middle of our chests, the heart is a whole body organ that refreshes the movement of the blood and acts as a profound and connecting leader in our relationship experience. 

Fascial Heart Conference

  • Video: 1 hour, 20 minutes
  • Reading: 5 minutes
  • Review: 7 minutes

 

Join Gil for an 80-minute journey to explore the continuities, relationships, and connection of heart to its surrounding structures. You will explore the fascial layers of the heart, detail its relationship to the surrounding musculature such as the lungs, vessels, and respiratory diaphragm, and explore the heart’s capacity for movement. 

II World Congress of Fascia: Fascial Details of the Abdominal Wall

  • Video: 2 hours, 46 minutes
  • Reading: 5 minutes
  • Review: 15 minutes

In this 2 hour and 46 minute presentation, Gil outlines the fascial details of the abdominal wall. In addition to learning about the movement potential that lies between the fascial layers, students will gain a deeper understanding of how the layers of the abdominal wall contribute to both the posterior and anterior rectus sheath. You will also have a better understanding of how the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall relate to the surrounding structures and tissues, such as the inguinal ligament, bony landmarks, and respiratory diaphragm.

Visceral Manipulation 1: Dissection & Anatomy Companion Course

This 3 hour course includes an exploration and dissection of the peritoneum as well as structures such as the diaphragm, colon, greater and lesser omentum, appendix, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, and spleen. This course also explores abdominal space structures such as visceral adhesions, ligament of Treitz, the superior mesenteric artery, the portal vein, Glisson’s capsule, hepatic artery and vein, and the hepatoduodenal, gastrophrenic, phrenicocolic, and hepatogastric ligaments.
