Anatomy Real:  Advanced Anatomy

 

 

The REVAMPED Anatomy Real...  

BLENDING Theory and Practical learning... 

Deepening UNDERSTANDING and 

IMPROVING YOUR PRACTICE

We feel extraordinarily privileged to be able to offer this amazing opportunity. Explore and examine REAL ANATOMY, using a variety of previously dissected CADAVER SPECIMENS, working in a university dissection laboratory under the guidance of expert demonstrators.

 

 What this course offers:

  • 3 mornings on the theory working with the skeleton and other interactive learning  
  • 3 afternoons in the lab, looking for real at the structures learnt in the morning
  • Lots of time for informal discussions and questions about all the things you are seeing, holding (if you want to) and many of those things you've wondered about
  • Time to see, in true 3-d, what you do know and fill in the gaps of what you're less sure about
  • The chance to explore:
  • individual specimens, hands on and up close (or as close as you choose to get anyway!)
  • why the bones have all their bumps and groves, how they fit together
  • exactly how different muscles and other structures lie in relation to each other
  • where the nerves and vessels travel  
  • what the different fascial structures look like
  • a variety of our unique anatomical features

This course will not lecture you with information or require copious note taking (although we hope that we may occasionally say something you may consider interesting enough to write down!). It will test and challenge your knowledge to help you piece together what you already know about while it fills in any gaps. Many past students have said it is helpful to do a little review of the subject before they come.. Maybe not as many actually have but if you can find the time it does make the experience even more worthwhile!

  Day 1 - THE BACK

Can you visualise and work with the differnt ligaments, muscle groups, bone structure and nerve pathways as you are working on people's back and spines? You will be able to after this day! You will have learned the names, seen the layout and know lots of cool stuff about the fascia, ligaments and movementof our backs and pelvis.


  Day 2 - THE ARMS

Details of the boney bits, helpful ways to get those muscles clear in your head as well was where they are when you are touching, Understanding where major vessels and nerves run (as they can be so important in understanding what is going on if people have problems) and we willespecially spend time on the muscles of the forearm and the interesting features of the hand. 

  Day 3 - THE LEGS

As above on the legs... (except looking at the lower leg and the foot of course...,), the same fun and engaging style of learning in themorning of  theory, with the amazing opportunities to see it all for real in the afternoon session. But only if you are really wanting to take your anatomy to the next level!

 


  Should I do this?

Where else can you get this unique mixture of theoretical and intensely practical, 3-d, hands on true understanding of our anatomical brilliance? Taught with reference to our work as CAM and health practitioners? With the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like?

This course will be presented by Caroline Barrow and demonstrators from Kings College University. Please note the course is not affiliated to the university in any other way.

 

Apart from commenting that it is helpful to do some preparatory review before you come, past students have also said:

'I think the course is very well laid out - I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it was a very valuable experience'

'Your enthusiasm was really motivating. Well worth the money!'

'The opportunity to explore the Gordon Museum was excellent'

'An excellent 4 days! I am now much clearer in 3D terms and have much more inspiration for finding ways to learn this stuff.'
