    Krista, go to my website "www.learnmuscles.com" and look at the interactive exercise toward the bottom of the screen. There are other quizzes and interactive exercises there are well.

    Just an FYI for those of you who don't know Ryan Hoyme has a site called www.massagenerd.com. He offers tons of anatomical graphics etc. for use as long as you give him credit. Great for power point presentations, classroom projects, students who need to study etc.

    Hello all, Just joined this group and I have a question, is there any problems that I whould be aware of when massaging someone that has a possible Gall Bladder problem? I'm just talking about doing a nice relaxing masasge, not a deep tissue.

    Thanks, Gail

    The world massage conference may have finnished but you can still join and download the presentations till next year.

    Most MTs understanding of A+P will need to be totally rethought/updated given recent findings via Fascia's research. Fascia our largest sensory organ says Robert Schleip from http://www.somatics.de/

    When I went through massage school then later when I taught a few classes we were able to go to the cadaver lab at Wichita State University. Not only did I get to hold a heart in my hands but lungs and liver as well. very interesting. From a muscle manipulation stand point very humbling how thin muscles could be.

    Hi, I am keen to discover what therapists liked best about attending a day in a dissection lab. Were you suprized by anything? I was amazed to discover how large teres major and teres minor are. The textbooks show these as rather small muscles and even on the specimens (of older adults) they were much larger than I expected. I teach a a workshop in a dissection lab, designed for massage therapists, and try to tailor it to what I think they will find most interesting in their work. If you have attending a workshop in a lab your comments are most welcome. Jane

    OM Jane ~ a quick comment... size-wise i noticed iliocostalis has seemed bigger than typically depicted and the IT band is often incredibly thick. a couple of other items of note: seeing the adipose tissue cramping the internal organs on over-weight bodies, and a metal prosthetic.

    Feb 4, 2010

  • ashley fleetwood

    hi jane! things I found super helpful to see- where QL actually is.. How much thicker (and wider) IT band is than I thought! how deep/ thick the erector spinae are. Fascia.(everything! It was priceless. ) I feel like I could take it several more times and I would keep being surprised and learning.

    Feb 4, 2010

  • Jane Johnson

    Thank you Jaya, thank you Ashley. Yes, the thickness of the ITB was pretty amazing to me too. Totally reinforced the notion of fascial connectins which we are only just 'getting' here in the UK. Yes, QL really deep. I have to request special cadaveric specimens, dissected from the posterior rather than anterior, when i chat about that muscle because you just can't get to it so well. I picked up a really good tip re QL - on several occassions therapists have told me that got good results using acupuincture for chronic low back pain so I have since referred a couple of clients.

    We just watched Gil Hedley's videos on superficial fascia, deep fascia and muscles in Swedish 2 class. We all got a kick out of the "fuzz speech".

    . I thought you all might like to view a portion of our two online courses. You can find a module of Susan Salvo's Pathology course at:

    https://evolve.elsevier.com/productPages/i_1809_5490.html

    and you can view a module from Sandy Fritz's Essential Sciences course at:

    https://evolve.elsevier.com/productPages/i_1529_5271.html

    When the page pulls up, just click on "Preview sample content" and you'll be given access to a complete module. If anyone has questions, just ask Sandy, Susan,

    These previews are complete modules and are provided by Elsivier (Mosby and Saunders) publishing . They run on the web site provided with each book. If you are interested in implementing online education take a look. They are inexpensive when purchased with the textbooks.

    Just so you know, Java script (animation) is not supported on Apple iPad. Otherwise, I think the web-based content is helpful. I looked at the pathology course and will check out the yours soon Sandy.

    There is a new app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad called myofinder, it has anatomy and physiology applications, great for reference and a study tool. They have a facebook page too. The website is www.myofinder.com.

    Paul Ingram's take on the evidence on fascia. See what you think.

    Jul 28, 2012

  • Jeff Sims

    the author is neither impressed with fascia research or Gil Hedley's work. it is good to challenge our theories, although i would prefer a little more tact. maybe he's just doing it to get his 15 minutes. he also writes at length about trigger points.

    I'm thrilled to see this compilation of videos on fascia!  I teach A&P, and have found that using videos really helps the students more fully understand the information that I am teaching.  It's hard to grasp a flat picture in a book.  Video brings A&P to life!  I will be adding to my current collection now.  Thank you!  (Gil Hedley's Fuzz Speech has always been one of my favorites). :-)

    Hi Cindy, I totally agree, without video it would be almost impossible to grasp its complexities.......I'm looking forward to learning more from Robert Schleip next week in Germany http://www.uni-ulm.de/en/med/division-of-neurophysiology/educationa...

    That is so cool!!!  Have a fantastic time, learn lots, and please fill us all in when you return.  I almost signed up for Tom Myers and Todd Garcia's 5-day dissection workshop in Tempe, AZ in January 2013.  But timing didn't work out. :-(  Another time...

    You know you are seeing some incredibly moving video when tears well up in your eyes,= Jean Claude Guimberteau's lecture combined with scene's from his burns scar's and stiffness video (out Dec). I will post clips from this ASAP when approved. This was part of an incredible week of study with Robert Schleip.
