We are delighted to announce that Dr. Wilbour Kelsick has confirmed that he is now available and will be joining the team for our Fascia Focused Dissection Course this June at King's College, London.

If you are unable to attend the Fascia Research Congress taking place in New Orleans, or perhaps you are new to the topic of fascia and not sure how or where to begin your journey, well this is my one exclusive opportunity in Europe in 2025 to immerse yourself in fascia-focused anatomy at King’s College, London.

The course offers a unique, respectful, and insightful exploration of the human form, emphasizing the dynamic continuity of fascia from head to foot.

Join us for three unforgettable days of learning, discovery, connection and the opportunity to create lifelong memories with a wonderful community of practitioners and leading fascia experts. This course will impact your life and clinical practice in the most positive way as you better appreciate how everything and everyone form a continuity.

Spaces are limited and we would love to welcome you to London.

“In my line of work, the science changes quickly. I do my best to keep up, but I do so knowing that my understanding of what I’m doing today will no doubt be proven incorrect or incomplete tomorrow. Be that as it may, to quote British statistician George Box’s famous line, “All models are wrong, some are useful.” In spite of our ever evolving understanding of the body, I’m happy to say results have been excellent thus far. Even if I can’t always be right, I can still try to be less wrong.”

thefasciahub We’re excited to announce that this November we will be focusing on embryology, and we are honoured to be joined by renowned Anatomist-Embryologist and Phenomenologist, Jaap van der Wal, MD PhD. For many decades Jaap has has not only worked as a researcher and teacher in the functional anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, but also taught on phenomenological embryology.
From the embryo he has learned that our body is not a spatial structure but a continuous process (which is true of all living things). In fact, the common anatomical view of the body corrupts the latter reality and has partly led to the understanding that our body is like a biological ‘machine’, as the first great anatomist Andreas Vesalius (16th century) proposed in the first modern anatomy book ever published:
On the Fabrica of the Human Body.
On 17th November Jaap will look at the ‘construction’ of the human body and the role of fascia within it. Are we indeed
‘fabrica’ or rather ‘fabric’ as Stephen Levin (2012) quotes:
“fascia is the fabric of the body; not the garment (vestment) covering the body, but the warp and weft of the material”.
Who is right? The anatomist? The embryologist? Or are they both ‘right’ according to the complementary morphologist?
Jaap will present his ideas from the point of view that the human ‘embryo’ is not a ‘past’ (just a phase in your early development), but in fact the biological actuality of the body as a process. “More than a body we are, more than a being we are becoming.”
This event is avallable to all, with Fascia Hub Members enjoying a discounted rate of £20. Standard price for this very special, three-hour event is just £35. All ticket holders will have access to the recordings of the presentation until midnight 12th January 2025, UK time.

FASCIA AND CANCER

This once-off special event takes place ahead of the fascia focused dissection course this coming August at The Ohio State University.
On the agenda is fascia and its profound implications for better understanding the dynamics of cancer. As fascia research continues to evolve, we are on the brink of uncovering revolutionary insights into the intricate interplay between fascia and complex diseases like cancer. Renowned International cancer research expert Dr.
Peter Friedl will engage in an enlightening dialogue with clinical anatomist and fascia specialist John Sharkey, as they probe the depths of Dr. Friedl’s cutting-edge research.

When you’ve been trained in classical biomechanics , and even after 8 years experience of full body dissection…
You’re still surprised there are no “origins” and “insertions”
….or levers
….or layers
