Meet the Fascial System!
Often underrepresented in anatomical studies, fascia is a rich and dynamic system that holds the answers to many questions of how our bodies move, get injured, and recover.
Join us in the lab and our dynamic classroom space as we study the organization of fascia up close. SEE it, TOUCH it, and take your palpation skills next level.
Taught by co-directors of AnatomySCAPES and ABMP Anatomy for Touch columnists, Rachelle Clauson and Nicole Trombley.
Registration is open for May 3-4!!

Journey into the Matrix delves into fascial anatomy, exploring the types of fascia — from superficial to deep — and how they relate to each. From the densely packed collagen fibers of the IT Band to the slippery-slidey gels of loose connective tissue, you will learn about fascia all the way down to the micro-world of the extracellular matrix. See it, touch it, and take your palpation skills next level. Our curriculum is broken down into these sections:
Here is an overview of the structure of this workshop. Completion of all segments is required. Thank you for planning accordingly.
Part ONE: Get ready!
Put on your stretchy pants and get comfy! Your fascia journey starts from the comfort of your own home with our ONLINE SEGMENT. This part of the course includes your LAB MANUAL and pre-workshop INTRO CALL via Zoom.
Lab Manual
Our LAB MANUAL For Journey into the Matrix is your pre-reading assignment. Designed to read like a fun, glossy magazine, we cover some key concepts of fascial anatomy AND introduce you to many of the anatomical structures we will likely encounter in the Lab.
Intro Call
A week before our IN-PERSON days in the lab, we'll join together on a brief Zoom call for introductions, orientation and to answer any questions you might have. This will help orient you to the lab space, our plan for the workshop help you get prepared!
Part TWO: In Person
It's time to head to the anatomy lab for two days of learning here in sunny San Diego, CA.
Together in the lab we will explore fascia from superficial to deep, and everything in between. The in-lab segment consists of :
- Live DISSECTION and EXPLORATION of fascial tissues.
- Classroom LECTURE & DISCUSSIONS on key concepts and applications for our bodywork and movement practices.
Classroom
Our courses are full of engaging multimedia presentations. We GIVE you the known facts and current science about the Fascial System. See the micro and macro images BUILD the matrix with your own hands with fun 3D models.
