Functional Anatomy - Immaculate Dissection (2017)

This is a so much better than the standard anatomy charts!
Even a dimwit like me can understand and SEE the functions and points being made.

I kid you not . . . check out some of the sample videos at that link.

Kathy Dooley, Anna Folckomer & Danny Quirk
Immaculate Dissection: Functional Anatomy Featuring Body Painting

In this 88-minute video, educators Kathy Dooley and Anna Folckomer bring anatomy to life through Danny Quirk’s unique body painting.

The goal of the Immaculate Dissection team is to help people visualize muscles by showing them how to feel muscles at work in their own bodies. In this lecture video, they demonstrate using Danny’s painted musculature on Jake Altman’s body.

Then they show how muscles lengthen and then shorten as they move him through various positions.

Finally, they talk the audience through the movements so they can feel the described motion for themselves—and this is where you can follow along at home. Gaining a deeper understanding of anatomy is easier when you can see and feel it, and Kathy, Anna and Danny are here to help you see and feel for yourself.
