Blake Neibert: Anatomy and Locomotion
RMT Master Class Series: October 13, 2007
Muscular anatomy is traditionally taught in pieces. This approach, while necessary for the individual to grasp the copious quantity of material, leaves one with a static and un-unified view of the body. As therapists, we need to see the continuity of the various myofascial structures and understand their impact on the function of the locomotor system. This course focuses on the connectedness and continuity of muscles via their anatomical attachments to bony projections, ligaments, and other connective tissues.
