The student will learn the muscles of the body in 3-D
utilizing the Anatomiken™ system developed by John Zahourek.
The student will build all of the muscles of the trunk, upper and lower
extremities
KINSTHETIC LEARNING will be accomplished by:
• building muscles from clay
• stretching the muscles
• strengthening movements of the muscles
• palpation of the anatomy.
This will be learned in 3 separate courses as described below.
The clay, clay tools and skeletons are provided for the lab.
We will study the joints of the pelvis including the pelvic floor, the knee,
the ankle and foot. We will build all the muscles of the pelvis, leg and foot.
The major nerves of the leg will be explored and built from clay. The Mattes
style of stretching will be taught for the lower extremity as a way of
bridging the learned anatomy to your body as well as giving you a skill to
stretch you body using this method.
We will study the joints of shoulder, elbow and wrist as well as build all the
muscles of the shoulder and arm from clay including all the forearm and hand
muscles. The major nerves of the arm will be explored and built from clay. The
Mattes style of stretching will be taught for the upper extremity as a way of
bridging the learned anatomy to your body as well as giving you a skill to
stretch you body using this method.
This course unlike the other two courses takes time to study muscle and
connective tissue physiology. Then we continue to focus on the axial skeleton
and explore general movement patterns, compensation patterns of the trunk when
dysfunction occurs, the anatomy of the vertebra and its joints as well as
muscle physiology and function. This course covers approximately 45 muscles
from the following areas: respiratory, spine, neck, and abdominal regions.
A continuing education course is designed for the
professional bodyworker such as massage therapist and movement therapist such
as pilates and yoga instructors. But anyone interested in their own body and
how it functions is welcome to join us. We take time to link the anatomy to
our everyday experiences with our body. Because this is a freelance course
that I teach, not associated with any program, it allows the freedom of anyone
to take it.

What is the anatomy of Morton’s foot, fallen arches, pelvic tilting, knee and
hip pain? We will have a chance to explore these conditions.
What is the anatomy of thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel and frozen
shoulder? We will have a chance to explore these conditions.
What is the anatomy of scoliosis, lordosis and kypohsis? We will have a chance
to explore these conditions as well as conditions specific to your interest.
