Ep 271 – Cool Muscles with Dr. Joe Muscolino

Each muscle is important to the kinematic function of the body, and some muscles stand out more than others—muscles that Dr. Joe Muscolino can only describe as "Cool!" In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren speak with Dr. Joe about his new article in the September/October issue of Massage & Bodywork magazine, "Cool Muscles: Confessions of an Anatomy Geek," and some that he feels are underappreciated.

Dr. Joe Muscolino has been a manual and movement therapy educator for more than 35 years. He has created several online streaming subscription platforms for manual therapy continuing education, including LearnMuscles Continuing Education (LMCE) with more than 3,000 video lessons and more than 300 hours of NCBTMB credit. He has also created Muscle Anatomy Master Class (MAMC), Bone and Joint Anatomy Master Class (BAJAMC), Visceral Anatomy Master Class (VMC), and Kinesiology Master Class (KMC).

He is the author of multiple textbooks with Elsevier and has authored more than 90 articles. For more information on any of Dr. Joe's content, visit learnmuscles.com. To contact Dr. Joe directly, you can reach him at joseph.e.muscolino@gmail.com.

The principles of Anatomy Trains are used by osteopaths, physical therapists, bodyworkers, massage therapists, personal trainers, yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonics, and other body-minded manual therapists and movement professionals.
