Greetings All.
It has been a pretty hectic week - dissecting bodies at Imperial College London and then holding the CPD course on the latest findings a day later at the Holmedale Health Centre in Exeter for a range of therapists.
Once again the dissection was overseen by Professor Kerry Davis, and held by Julian Baker who is the Principal at the European College of Bowen Studies. We were concentrating on the lower body this time, and looking at the fascial connections from the pelvis down the leg and the multiple links all the muscle have at the Sacrum - which seems to be more like a giant junction box for a surprising number of muscles.
One of the key discoveries we made was how the hamstring muscles are not quite built as they appear in the diagrams (surprise surprise). Particularly the Biceps Femoris muscle. We have tended to view this muscle as starting at the base of the pelvis and finishing at the head of the tibia rapping around the knee.
What we discovered was that the the Hamstring fascia actually starts at the sacrum and ends around the ankle at lateral maleolis - this has significant impact on how we view what hamstring does and the various whys and wherefore when someone gets a Hamstring strain for example.
All exciting stuff, and once again this new found knowledge will be put into practice at clinic.
