✍️NOTES FROM THE LAB:THORACOLUMBAR FASCIA
This image shows the multi-directional nature of the#thoracolumbar #fascia. In this #dissection we included the #latissimus #dorsi and #gluteus#maximus muscles to show how each of these merges into the thoracolumbar fascia, creating a key relationship between the #upper and #lower#extremities. By preserving both latissimus muscles we can see the relationship on the same side of the body with the #gluteus (lower left), across the sacrum and iliac crest, as well as the relationship across to the other side of the body. In Tom Myers#AnatomyTrains, this diagonal connecting of the glutes on one side to the lats on the other is part of the myofascial meridian called the #Functional#Line. The thoracolumbar fascia plays a key role in#stabilization and movement, and with research discovering fascia’s role in back pain, it proves a valuable area to display through plastination.
