    Description:
    In this course, you will explore human anatomy with a craniosacral focus and develop increased anatomical knowledge through hands-on dissection, palpation, exploration and discovery. This workshop is designed to offer you the unique experience of evaluating restrictions prior to dissection. Once the dissection occurs you can then visually and tactilly explore the areas evaluated. Additionally, you will be able to apply craniosacral techniques to the cadaver and feel tissue changes externally and internally.
