Learn to listen with your hands, and gain comprehensive knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and injuries as well as the skills to perceive and improve them.
There will be opportunities to attend a Q&A session with Kelly Kane, founder and co-director of the Kane School, as well as the bi-annual Orientation Day, which includes a class with Kelly Kane in addition to the Q&A. You can always reach out to us to discuss your options as well.

Developed by Juliu Horvath and performed on a unique, weighted-pulley machine, the GYROTONIC® method systematically moves the body through a series of circular motions, opening areas that are bound and tight. The mat component of the method, called GYROKINESIS®, incorporates similar principles, utilizing stools and floor work in a class setting. For more info, visit the GYROTONIC® official website.

Check-in for the course will be held from 8:30 am – 9:30 am.
A complimentary assortment of bagels, tea, & coffee will be provided each day at 8:30 am. Course activities will begin at 9:00 am. The course will conclude at approximately 5:00 pm each day, and 5:30pm on the last day.

Lectures and presentations will be lead by various members of the FAMI Workshop faculty. Please see the Faculty section of our website for more details.
Each day of the course will focus on a particular anatomical area (please see schedule provided). Each day will begin with a foundation lecture on musculoskeletal anatomy. Additional course activities will include: 1) Gross Anatomy laboratory sessions where participants will be able to view prosected specimens and radiographic images, and participate in interactive discussions about the structures detailed; and 2) lectures on common injuries given by neurologists, orthopedists, and sports medicine specialists.
Although a strong foundation of musculoskeletal anatomy will be helpful, there is no need to be concerned about prior anatomy knowledge or experience. The foundation lectures held each morning will serve to either help refresh your knowledge or orient you to the particular area of musculoskeletal anatomy on the course schedule for that day. Nevertheless, with anatomy, repetition is the key to success, and so we always recommend reviewing your knowledge of essential musculoskeletal anatomy (i.e., muscle groups and actions, insertions, origins, bony landmarks, etc.).
We will supply you with a reference guide of supplemental materials to augment the information presented during the workshop; these materials will be distributed on the first day of the course. In addition, we will provide anatomy atlases and texts for you to reference in the Gross Anatomy laboratory.
Please bring pens and paper for note-taking. If you wish to take notes during the Gross Anatomy laboratory sessions, we recommend bringing a clipboard. It is also highly recommended to bring your own anatomy atlas or text with you to use as a reference throughout the course. Although you may use any reference material you wish, we recommend one of the following:
• Gray’s Atlas of Human Anatomy by Richard Drake, Wayne Vogl, Adam Mitchell, Richard Tibbitts, & Paul Richardson
• Atlas of Human Anatomy by Frank H, Netter, MD
• Illustrated Essentials of Musculoskeletal Anatomy by Kay W. Sieg, PhD and Sandra P. Adams, PhD
We may not be able to accommodate storage of your personal belongings during the course. We ask that you please plan accordingly and travel lightly; we cannot be responsible for any lost or stolen items. If you are traveling from out-of-town and need to bring your luggage with you, we will do our best to accommodate you.
We recommend wearing or bringing comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes with you. In addition, we will provide latex and non-latex gloves. Please keep in mind that the temperature in the lab is on the cooler side.
You may bring note-taking material and your own reference materials into the labs if you wish. Please do not bring coats, back-packs, or food into the laboratory.
Yes, please! We’d love for you to share your FAMI journey with others, as well – tag us on Instagram and Facebook so we can share them, too! Please note: due to the sensitive nature of the reference material in the gross anatomy laboratory, pictures are not allowed.
A prosection is a region of a cadaver that has been previously meticulously dissected to demonstrate intricate details of anatomy.
There will be no dissection of cadavers occurring during the workshop. Rather, instructors will use prosections for teaching purposes.
