Dissection Attendee
Join a team of the world’s most respected authorities in fascia anatomy and science for a three day exploration of human form and function, through the fascia lens.
Trecchi Human Academy in Italy is where we deliver an unparalleled retreat that focuses on human anatomy dissection and fascia exploration. Led by a team of world-renowned anatomists, the course provides an in-depth look at the intricate fascial network that connects all parts of the body.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to experience hands-on dissection and explore the fascia system with the guidance of expert tutors. The course will start at 9 am and run until 5 pm each day, with day one requiring an 8:30 am registration.
The course features daily presentations from the team of experts, followed by time in the dissection lab where participants will have the chance to dissect human cadavers. Through this exploration of the fascia system, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the body and how the fascial network influences movement, posture, and overall health.
This course is ideal for healthcare professionals, movement practitioners, neuromuscular therapists, and anyone interested in human anatomy dissection and fascia exploration. It offers a unique opportunity to expand knowledge and understanding of the human body and how to apply this knowledge in everyday practice.
Overall, the Fascia Focused Dissection Retreat in Italy offers an unparalleled educational experience that focuses on the fascinating and complex fascia system, providing an opportunity to deepen understanding and expertise in human anatomy dissection.

Here’s a suggested syllabus for the three-day dissection course:
Day One:
Presentation
Dissection in the lab with a focus on the fascia system and its connections
Q&A and personal enquiry time
Day Two:
Presentation
Dissection in the lab with a focus on the fascial and osseofascial structures
Q&A and personal enquiry time
Day Three:
Presentation
Dissection in the lab with a focus on the fascia system and the role of fascia in movement
Q&A and personal enquiry time
Throughout the three days, there will be a special focus on the subject of Embryological Origins and BioTensegrity architecture. The course will explore the concept of the body as a tensioned network that relies on tensegrity organisation to grow and change. Participants will learn how movement and form are interconnected and how the body responds to loading history.
The dissection course will be highly practical, with participants working with human cadavers under the guidance of clinical anatomists and experienced dissectors. There will be ample time for questions and personal inquiry, allowing participants to deepen their understanding of the body and the fascia system.
Overall, this three-day dissection course provides a unique opportunity for participants to explore the human form and gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of fascia in movement and overall health. The course will be highly practical, immersive and led by experienced tutors, making it a transformative educational experience.
Day one of the dissection course will be a full day, starting with registration at 8.30am and ending at 5pm. The first day will be a comprehensive introduction to the course, providing participants with an overview of the human body and the importance of the fascia system.
On day two and three, the course will begin at 9am and end at 5pm each day. These days will be highly practical, with participants moving into the dissection room after a short presentation. Under the guidance of experienced clinical anatomists and dissectors, participants will explore specific areas of the body, with a focus on the fascia system and its role in movement and overall health.
Throughout the course, there will be ample time for questions and personal enquiry, allowing participants to deepen their understanding of the body and the fascia system. The course will be highly immersive, with participants working with human cadavers and gaining practical experience in dissection.
In addition to the practical dissection, the course will also provide participants with a deeper understanding of embryological origins and BioTensegrity architecture. The course will explore how the body responds to loading history and how movement and form are interconnected.
Overall, the course provides a unique opportunity for participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of the human body and the fascia system. The practical, hands-on approach of the course, coupled with the expertise of the faculty, makes it a transformative educational experience.
Please note that the content, presenters, schedule etc. may be subject to change.

Joining John, in Cremona 2024 will be Dr Joanne Avison, Dr Karen Kirkness, Dr Wilbour Kelsick and Mark Flannigan ensuring participants gain a very personal and life-changing experience.
This course is open to all individuals with a keen interest in fascia and human anatomy.
Due to the nature of dissection courses whereby many items, including cadavers, must be booked and paid for at least six months ahead of the scheduled course date, the refund policy is as follows:.
Where written notice of non-participation is received, fees will be refunded on the following scale:
Refunds cannot be considered in any circumstances less than twelve weeks before the course start date. All fees must be paid in full at least 12 weeks before the course starting date.
In some instances refunds will have the the payment processing company’s transaction fee deducted from any amount due.

You should not book any non-refundable travel or accommodation until the NTC office of administration has confirmed the course. This will be done once the minimum required number of registrations has been received. Dissection courses are generally oversubscribed and confirmation of the course is generally issued many months in advance.
Our dissection courses offer a mix of fixation methods depending on the venue. This can range from fresh from frozen, Theil Soft Fixed and the more traditional Formalin and Formaldehyde method of fixation. We reserve the right to make changes to the fixation if necessary.
