Essential Anatomy for Rolfers and nerve work
I have used this application since it came and it keeps getting better. It helps me understand anatomy in a way that was not possible - by turning on or off the various systems of the body so that you can locate for example the obturator nerve by finding the femoral artery in the groin area and then sliding just medial to it and there is the nerve. I use it to send images to propsective clients (I told one woman that her problem was not the hamstrings per se but the posterior femoral nerve - when I sent her an image of it, she immediately called back and said “that’s exactly where it hurts!” and she made an appointment). I have sent images to doctors or PTs to explain my sense of what the problem was or in more severe cases, that is they were going to do a cortisone injection, here are the most inflamed spots which they felt was useful in making their injections more precise and the client felt she got better results. I have found that if I point out missing things or even slight mistakes that they are happy to have that information and will change it in the next upgrade. I do some mentoring in Rolfing and nerve work and use it often to advise students on solving problems and have gotten many of them to buy the app and they love it also. Obviously this does not have the detail of Grey’s anatomy but it let’s you manipulate the images and see through layers in ways that none of the anatomy books can do...
