Description:
Title: Anatomical Landmarks of the Pelvis and Lower Extremity: Key Soft Tissue Structures and Major Vessels
The focus will be on key anatomical landmarks of the pelvis and lower extremity – along with the associated soft tissues and major vessels, the intention goes beyond simple identification. Rather than identifying the structures, Andrew will encourage the participants to step back and truly appreciate the intricate ways in which tissues weave, spiral and integrate around joint complexes. This holistic perspective aims to deepen your anatomical understanding and foster a greater sense of connection with the body’s natural design.
The session will also explore anatomical variations and the fascinating reality that no human body mirrors the artist’s illustration. Through palpation and spatial awareness, the session will connect theory to tangible experience, creating a deeper understanding that transcends traditional methods.

Presenter - Andrew (Andy) McKenzie
Andrew currently operates a remedial clinic in Gold Coast and is set to complete his Bachelor of Science in just 10 weeks. His combined academic and clinical experience has given him a deep, holistic understanding of the human body- insight he is passionate about sharing with others. Andrew has had the privilege of assisting in the delivery of the Musculoskeletal Anatomy course (AHS2010) at Griffith University Gold Coast for second-year Physiotherapists and Exercise Science students. Over the past four years, he has worked extensively in the cadaver lab, where he had access to one of the largest bone collections in the world, as well as an impressive array of wet specimens. This unique exposure has given him a profound understanding of the anatomical phenomena that define us as human beings.
