Dissection workshop – Back

Please note: cancellations are only possible up to two weeks before the start of this module.

We are delighted to announce an exclusive two-day back dissection workshop. This unique opportunity allows osteopaths to explore the complete architecture of the spine—from the neck to the pelvis—in great depth, using embalmed bodies (“fixed for life”), on which you will perform the dissections yourself in small, intensive groups. Dissect through the different layers all the way to the spinal cord, including the protective meninges and the exiting nerve roots.
This workshop offers an unparalleled learning experience under the guidance of experienced anatomists, who will lead you step by step through the dissection process. You will explore four crucial regions in detail:

• Cervical: Including the suboccipital musculature and fascial layers.
• Thoracic: With special attention to the relationships with the scapula.
• Lumbar: The transition zone and stabilizers of the lower back.
• Sacroiliac & Gluteal: The complex biomechanics of the pelvis and gluteal region.

This is your chance not just to study anatomy, but to experience it. Feel the texture of the tissues, observe the three-dimensional relationships, and directly connect your discoveries to daily clinical practice.

What to expect

• Independent dissection in small groups for an intensive hands-on learning experience.
• A complete three-dimensional understanding of the spine, spinal cord, and surrounding soft tissues.
• Practical, directly applicable knowledge of four clinically essential anatomical zones.
• Guidance from experienced anatomists.
