About our Human Anatomy Dissection Course

Experience the unique opportunity to dissect, observe, and explore the intricacies of the cadaver form, gaining a comprehensive appreciation of anatomical relationships. Our course will help you identify anatomical compartments, virtual spaces, their contents, and the interconnected nature of form, deepening your knowledge of the human body’s complex structures.

We will specialise in fascial and osseofascial structures and consider their mechanotransduction, embryology, and tensegrity. Our expert instructors will lead discussions on fascial concepts on the cadaver, enabling you to practically apply this knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of fascial structures.

You will also have the chance to participate in producing bespoke anatomical fascial specimens for educational purposes through teamwork. Our focus on the practical application of theoretical concepts will help you gain a unique perspective on the human body and its functions.

By joining us, you will gain a deeper appreciation of the vital role of fascia in human anatomy and the interrelated nature of the body’s structures. The experience promises to be unforgettable, offering unparalleled opportunities to explore, dissect, and learn from the human cadaver.

Whether you are a healthcare professional, manual or movement therapist, researcher, or simply have a passionate interest in fascia and human anatomy, this Fascia Focused Dissection Course is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all.

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds, providing a collaborative learning environment that fosters the exchange of ideas and knowledge.

Our inclusive approach is grounded in the belief that everyone can benefit from a deeper understanding of the human body, and that diversity in backgrounds and experiences enriches the learning experience for all. As such, we encourage anyone with a keen interest in fascia and human anatomy to join us, regardless of their professional or educational background.

This rare and unique three-day dissection course offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the human form through the lens of fascia anatomy. The course is highly practical, involving the use of human cadavers, and provides a hands-on learning experience that goes beyond what can be taught in textbooks.

Course Objectives:

• To gain a comprehensive understanding of the continuity of the human form through the fascial network.
• To explore the subject of embryological origins, considering the scale of softness to stiffness (of soft tissue) throughout our lives.
• To understand how movement and form are exquisitely interrelated in BioTensegrity architecture from conception throughout life.
• To expand your perception of self-assembly and how humans, as architects, respond to our loading history.

Course Content:

Day One:

• Short presentation on fascia anatomy and the importance of the fascial network in human movement and posture.
• Dissection of a specific area under the guidance of clinical anatomists and experienced dissectors.
• Plenty of time for questions and personal enquiry.

Day Two:

• Short presentation on embryological origins and the scale of softness to stiffness (of soft tissue) throughout our lives.
• Dissection of a specific area under the guidance of clinical anatomists and experienced dissectors.
• Opportunities to investigate areas of participants’ own interest.

Day Three:

• Short presentation on BioTensegrity architecture and the interrelatedness of movement and form from conception throughout life.
• Dissection of a specific area under the guidance of clinical anatomists and experienced dissectors.
• Discussion on self-assembly and how humans respond to loading history.

Assessment:

There will be no formal assessment in this course. Participants are encouraged to engage in personal enquiry, ask questions and participate in discussions.

Learning Outcomes:

• A comprehensive understanding of the continuity of the human form through the fascial network.
• An understanding of embryological origins and the scale of softness to stiffness (of soft tissue) throughout our lives.
• An understanding of how movement and form are exquisitely interrelated in BioTensegrity architecture from conception throughout life.
• An expanded perception of self-assembly and how humans respond to loading history.

Prerequisites:

There are no formal prerequisites for this course. Participants are expected to have a keen interest in fascia anatomy and human form. Participants should also be comfortable working with human cadavers.

Note: This course is highly practical and may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or sensitivities to human cadavers. Please contact us at info@ntc.ie or +35318827777 if you have any concerns.
