"I often like to say that being a Massage Therapist, or any type of bodyworker, and never having seen the inside of the human body is like being a car mechanic and never having opened up the hood!" - Dr. Joe Muscolino

• 5-Day Intensive workshop in which you get to actually dissect and learn all the tissues and structures of the body at the University of Bridgeport’s newly renovated Anatomy Suite for a very reasonable cost compared to other trainings.

• Here is your opportunity to dissect the human body under the personal supervision of Dr. Joe Muscolino. We will dissect the muscles, tendons, fascial planes, joints, and internal visceral organs.
  
  
• …And, as an added bonus, as we dissect the body, Dr. Joe Muscolino will discuss applications to kinesiology for the regions of the body being dissected.
  

• Longer workshops are truly better because more is seen and learned. These longer workshops are best for the more motivated and ambitious students (first time or otherwise). The longer time frame allows for most every skeletal muscle to be seen, including smaller muscles of the forearm, hand and foot, as well as more time spent with the internal viscera. More time also allows for comparison time to be spent looking at the same muscles or structures in different cadavers and also time spent seeing whatever pathologic conditions might be present, such as arteriosclerosis, polycystic kidneys, etc. Finally, the longer workshop allows for us to slow down and take our time and also for more questions to be asked and discussed.

• Maximum 6 participants per cadaver.

• Contact hours of continuing education through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) are given to massage therapists and bodyworkers.
  
  

“What a great experience I had at the lab! I felt like I was able to see, feel, and absorb much more this time than last December. I think this was, in part, because my theoretical understanding of anatomy is deeper now. How valuable it is to see and touch a person's physical form and see the reality of the highly individual anatomy we use to affect the world around us! ”

Unsolicited Testimonials:

“I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and for creating the opportunity for such amazing learning and growth! I left the workshop with a feeling of understanding, compassion and gratitude! I never really considered what a tremendous gift it is to donate your body to science until yesterday. Joe and I took a moment to express our gratitude before entering the cadaver room, but it was not until we were done that I realized how deeply grateful I am.”

- Sheryl C., LMT

 

“Hi Joe! I had attended one of your cadaver labs in November 2008, and it was a life-altering opportunity. I regret I never followed up with you to express my gratitude. It was by far the most valuable experience I had as a student of massage therapy. My hope is to attend another lab in the near future, if you are still offering them. Again, thank you for sharing your great gifts with the rest of us. You are a big part of the reason I have come to harbor a great love and respect for the human body.”

- Jennifer N., Massage Therapist
