Human Anatomy Lab for Health & Fitness Professionals w/ J. Kunsman, DC (May 19-20, 12hrs)

Increase your understanding of the biomechanics and the anatomy of the human body and how the adjustment positively influences biomechanics as well as neurology.

Learn implications of anomalies and conditions that individualize care and progressive training.

Consider clinical applications and visualize common conditions and syndromes appearing in the spine and extremities.

Improve your understanding of stabilization, proprioception and endurance of the core and how feed-forward control mechanisms play a vital role in maintaining these systems.

Through “hands on” study of human cadaver dissections, participants will experience first-hand that:

• The “body is a scrap book” of all life experiences and is reflected in the state of all body structures, from soft tissue to bony articulations;
• All human movements have a “risk to benefit” relationship that is mirrored by the integrity of the musculoskeletal system, from superficial to deep structures;
• Anomalies and variants of structures are the rule rather than the exception, emphasizing the need for individualized training, health and fitness prescription;
• Postural integration is the most important exercise, and can be best understood through a three dimensional “inside out” approach of components;
• The “wet laboratory”setting remains the premiere learning venue for serious health and fitness professionals, regardless of what electronic applications are available for study of human anatomy.

To enable sufficient access to the cadavers for all participants, enrollment is limited to 24 registrants.
