Welcome to Your Answer to "How Do I Learn Anatomy"?
The Functional Anatomy Collective (FAC, see what I did there? Maybe something you've said when trying to learn anatomy, huh?) is a group of healthcare and fitness pros that meet weekly to get better at understanding anatomy and anatomical relationships.
You will prepare for each session by completing a case study (or two) that will be discussed in the group. The case study will give you a set of findings, symptoms, and ask you to make links. For example, you might connect left low back pain to a pronated right foot that causes weight shift right, left hip hike, short/tight QL and inhibited hip abductors. Sound fun? Read on!

The first cohort will run for 4 weeks, meeting every Monday 9-1030am Mountain time starting JULY 5th. The number of weeks, and length of sessions may be adjusted once I get feedback from the people in this first run, but for now this is the plan.
The FAC is for manual therapists (massage therapists, kins, physios, osteopaths) and fitness pros (trainers, yoga and pilates instructors) who want to improve their understanding of functional anatomy, the links between why something here might be related to something over there.
The purpose of these sessions will not be to create absolutes or recipes, but rather to flex our anatomy muscles (cuz we all know that if you don't use it, you lose it), see how we each approach things a little differently and draw different connections, and allow us to expand our minds, get out of the box and be better prepared to be facilitators of change with our patients/clients/students.

We meet on MICROSOFT TEAMS. When you join, I will invite you to the TEAMS group. One week before each meeting, the case study will be posted in TEAMS. You will go there to access it, and prep for the meeting.
During each meeting, we will share our unique links that we came up with, and discuss how we could approach care/training. We get to learn from each other! At the end of the 4 weeks, you will receive a certificate for 12 hours of CE (1.5 to prep and 1.5 for meeting x 4) that can be used to help you submit for CE credit. The submission will likely be categorized as "conferring with peers" but check your governing bodies rules and terminology for this stuff. |

Ready to become a FACer? LOL (I couldn't help myself)
