Does anyone know where the next Fascial Research Conference will be held and the dates?

Comment by Thomas Myers on January 28, 2010 at 12:38pm

Actually, there are two books from the 2009 Fascial Research Conference - a 'pre-book' of research findings form the presenters (Fascial Research II) and then there will be (or already is) both a book and the DVD's of the proceedings. I was there in Amsterdam, the new research is amazing, especially that of Jaap van der Waal.

Joe:
You can find the very latest information on fascial contraction concepts in the conference proceedings from the Fascia Research Congress. I have the 2007 book and it is excellent. Haven't read the proceedings from the 2009 conference in Amsterdam yet. Here's a link to the documents:

Hi Joe
I have read your article on fascial contraction
http://www.learnmuscles.com/Fascial%20Contraction%20-%20MTJFA08_Bod... and see that you wrote it in 2006 are you writing up, or do you know where, we can go to get the latest info on fascial contraction ?
Thanks

Jacqueline, I agree that Joe's book is awesome. I also picked up his Kiniesology book and the trigger point flip chart. I was 44 when I first jumped headfirst into this profession. Being the oldest in class definitely made me set my standards a little higher. But, now, at age 54 and working for myself....I can say it was worth all of the hard work and perseverance.....and distractions

Joe, i purchased your The Muscular System Manual and it is much better than the book that i used in school. I have started it and really enjoy all of the information presented as well as the CD! I have a thirst to learn everything but i am starting into this new profession with a 46 year old brain, children, husband which means there are alot of distractions at times as wwell as alot of things floating around in my brain. I am a visual learner.
I have been disappointed by the director of my school as well as a mentor that i had while i was in school. Both are awesome therapists but neither are willing to help me with questions about how to treat my clients. I have my own practice within a chiropractor's office so i don't work around other therapists. Its been lonely but i am plowing forward finding my own answers. This forum has been a great place for me. Thanks for the kinesiology advice.

Thank you for your review, Joe. I figure that if I'm going to buy one then it darn well should be a good one :)
My wife and I are going through your palpation book and accompanying DVD guides together.

Hi Jason,
I had not been familiar with this particular skeleton, but I took a look at it and it looks excellent. A bit pricey, but worth it for the features.
I will warn that all skeletons have an excessively "high waist" (space between the 12th rib and the iliac crest), and the head of the humerus always sits too far from the glenoid fossa due to the mechanism they put in to allow it to move/rotate...

Yes, the Coloring Book is excellent for anyone who learns kinesthetically by coloring. Another excellent kinesthetic approach is to learn to palpate each muscle (then I would recommend my Palpation book) because ID'ing a muscle via palpation often/usually requires having it contract and that requires use of the knowledge of the actions of the muscle.

Joe, with regard to learning the muscles in this manner, can you recommend a high quality skeleton with accurate articulation? I recently found the following model, please use the link if you would like to check it out:

And Jacqueline, I recently purchased the books that Joe recommended to you and his Muscoloskeletal Anatomy Coloring Book (2nd ed) which I find very helpful for learning and understanding muscle attachments and fiber direction/placement relative to the joint(s) crossed.
