Fascinating Fascia: Kate Oland Galligan Unravels the Ties That Bind | TAPP 152

Episode 152 centers on a lively conversation between Kevin and Dr. Kate Oland Galligan as they trace her path from a curious undergrad to a passionate fascia educator and clinician. The duo challenges old perceptions of fascia, recounting stories from early lab experiences where fascia was simply “ripped out,” and contrasting them with new insights on its dynamic, interconnected nature. They reveal how subtle fascial restrictions can cause significant clinical symptoms—linking pelvic imbalances to jaw pain—and explore the emerging field of mind-body connections in fascial therapy.

Understanding fascia requires abandoning the traditional anatomical view of separate structures and embracing a model of interconnected, living tissues. (Jean-Claude Guimberteau)

Introducing Kate Introducing Fascia

16 minutes

In this segment, Kevin reconnects with Dr. Kate Oland Galligan, a former student who has since become a passionate fascia educator and clinician. They reminisce about their time studying physiology together, sharing a nostalgic moment about the infamous Krebs cycle. Kate shares her professional journey from graduate school to clinical practice, detailing how she discovered her deep interest in fascia. As she explains, her dual role as both an instructor and practitioner has given her unique insights into why fascia deserves more attention in undergraduate education. Their conversation sets the foundation for an in-depth exploration of fascia’s overlooked importance in both teaching and clinical applications.

Fascia Mini Lesson

3 minutes

In this short break, Kevin introduces lionden.com, a website he created to offer students supplemental resources for learning A&P. He highlights the value of his “mini lessons,” which provide quick, digestible overviews of complex topics like fascia. These digital outlines help students reinforce their understanding beyond textbooks, offering interactive elements and structured learning aids. He encourages listeners to explore the site for additional learning tools, emphasizing the importance of creative, digital-friendly resources in modern anatomy and physiology education.

Rip That Fascia Out!

17 minutes

This segment takes a deep dive into how fascia has traditionally been misunderstood, especially in dissection labs where it was often “ripped out” to expose muscles, minimizing its true significance. Kate recalls her early anatomy lab experiences and how her perspective on fascia evolved once she began working in clinical practice. They discuss groundbreaking research showing how living fascia is dynamic and responsive, unlike the dehydrated tissue seen in cadavers. The conversation delves into the clinical impact of fascial restrictions, revealing how small, seemingly minor adhesions can generate significant pressure and pain throughout the body. These insights challenge the old paradigm that fascia is merely a passive, structural tissue.

Get Ready for Annual Debriefing

3.5 minutes

In this "brain break," Kevin teases the upcoming annual debriefing episode, a tradition where he reflects on past predictions about A&P teaching and makes new ones for the coming year. He invites listeners to contribute their own thoughts, concerns, and expectations for the future of anatomy and physiology education. This segment reinforces the podcast’s interactive and community-driven nature, encouraging engagement and discussion among educators.

The Hip Bone is Connected to the Jaw Bone

12 minutes

During this segment, Kevin and Kate explore the surprising connections within the fascial system, such as how pelvic imbalances can influence jaw function and why scar tissue in one area can affect movement and pain in another. Kate explains her approach to treating fascial restrictions, emphasizing the importance of sustained holds, sometimes lasting several minutes, to allow the tissue to release and rehydrate. Their discussion highlights how posture, embryological development, and past injuries all interact through fascia, reinforcing the idea that the body is not a collection of separate parts but rather an interconnected whole.

We're on Substack!

3 minutes

During this break, Kevin shares exciting news about his weekly science and teaching updates now being available on Substack. He explains how this platform blends newsletters with social media-style engagement, allowing educators to stay informed about the latest A&P breakthroughs and pedagogical trends. He encourages listeners to explore Substack as a way to connect with a broader community of professionals who are passionate about anatomy and physiology education.

Mind-Body Connections

15.5 minutes

This segment shifts the discussion toward the emotional aspects of fascial therapy. Kate delves into the idea that past trauma—both physical and emotional—can become “stored” in the fascia, sometimes manifesting as pain or tension. She shares experiences from her clinical practice where patients have had unexpected emotional responses during treatment, suggesting a deeper link between fascia and the nervous system. Kevin and Kate discuss ongoing research into tissue memory, acknowledging that while much remains to be studied, the connections between fascia, emotional well-being, and physiological function are becoming increasingly evident. This conversation bridges science and clinical practice, opening the door for more integrative approaches to healing.

Note: Kate's new search engine to find healing where you are right now—Thrive Anywhere��will be available in June 2025. Stay tuned to The A&P Professor for more news on this.

If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. (Alan K. Simpson)

Introducing Brenda

3 minutes

Host Kevin Patton introduces guest Brenda Ulrich.

You Need a License

22.5 minutes

In this discussion, Kevin and Brenda address common questions about using textbook images in teaching, focusing on the legalities and fair use of copyrighted materials. Brenda explains that when using images from textbooks, the license agreement with the publisher governs permissible usage. She emphasizes the importance of reviewing license agreements carefully, even for optional or non-adopted materials. Additionally, Brenda highlights the distinction between classroom use and broader sharing, such as online, and advises seeking permissions or using resources like libraries to ensure proper licensing.

Staying Up To Date

1 minute

Taking a brief break, Kevin reminds listeners about his occasionally regular Substack newsletter, The A&P Professor Science & Education Updates.

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

14.5 minutes

In this conversation, Kevin raises a scenario about reusing images from a previously adopted textbook in his new course materials. Brenda explains that continuing to use such content after switching textbooks would exceed the original license's scope, making it unethical and illegal. She advises always seeking permission from the publisher, not the author, for such uses. Brenda also highlights potential legal consequences of copyright infringement, including fines and lawsuits, stressing the importance of being ethical and avoiding copyright violations.

Do You Write?

2 minutes

Briefly stepping away from the conversation, Kevin reminds listeners about the advantages of membership in the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA). Any kind of academic writer, whether textbooks, manuals, lab exercises, dissertations, journal or other articles, reports, or grants, benefit from the resources and networking TAA offers. Listen for a special deal for new members!

I Need a Handout (and a Sandwich)

16.5 minutes

In this conversation, Kevin asks Brenda if creating a handout for students automatically gives him copyright protection. Brenda confirms that any work in a tangible form is copyrighted, whether registered or not. She advises adding a copyright notice and registering valuable works to protect against unauthorized use. They discuss the risks of copyright infringement, including potential legal consequences, and highlight the benefits of using licenses like Creative Commons for sharing work. Brenda also clarifies that reproducing lab exercises without permission is illegal, even if it's common practice in underfunded schools.

Finding Media

1.5 minutes

Yep, another short break. This time, Kevin reminds listeners that The A&P Professor website lists places to find free and legal media to use in teaching anatomy & physiology.

Can I Put My PowerPoint on YouTube?

10.5 minutes

In this segment, Kevin asks if it's permissible to upload PowerPoint presentations with textbook images onto public platforms like YouTube or SlideShare. Brenda explains that such usage would likely exceed the scope of permissions granted for classroom use, and extra permission would be required. She also clarifies that even if the material is uploaded to a closed platform, such as an LMS like Canvas or Blackboard, permission is still typically needed as it extends beyond classroom teaching. They discuss fair use, emphasizing that transformative use, such as critical analysis, may qualify as fair use, but general teaching does not.

Anatomy of Trust: Promoting Integrity in A&P Education | Winter Shorts | TAPP 146

Episode 146 of The A&P Professor podcast is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, we discuss the importance of academic integrity in the Anatomy & Physiology course. We emphasize the need to incorporate discussions about integrity in the syllabus and course materials and share real-life examples of violations in the healthcare field. We highlight how dishonesty can have serious consequences and discuss strategies for prevention, such as using multiple test versions and unique topics for papers/projects. Providing examples of acceptable practices and discouraging unethical behavior foster a culture of integrity. We invite listeners to contribute their own strategies for promoting academic integrity.

Modeling Professional Integrity

9.5 minutes

Greg Crowther, whose song was featured in episode 25, calls in with an important point about modeling professional integrity for students: we should always cite the work of others. Yikes, look at the trouble that MIT and other elite universities are having right now! Whether we are using material legally is a separate issue. If we tell students they are plagiarizing if they don’t cite others’ works, then we are hypocrites if we don’t model that behavior ourselves. This segment was first heard in Episode 26.

Kevin mentions some other benefits of consistently citing the work we use in our courses.

The One Teaching Strategy That Will Fix Your Anatomy & Physiology Course | TAPP 143

In episode 143 of The A&P Professor podcast for anatomy and physiology faculty, host Kevin Patton uncovers the super-secret, single, ultimate teaching strategy you need to keep your course tuned up and effective. He also revisits the "out there" transducer model of the brain and suggests a connection with a recent discovery supporting quantum wave activity in brain cell microtubules. Yes, quantum waves in the microtubules. Kevin also clarifies and expands on those wacky "extra" courses he described in Episodes 140 and 141.

Clarifying Kevin's Wacky Supplemental Courses

15 minutes

In this segment, Kevin clarifies nuances from Episodes 140 & 141. He dives into the evolution of his "wacky grading" approach and reflects on the significance of end-of-semester debriefings—then explores the impact of badges within a courses. Kevin also uncovers the value of persistence, confidence-building, and teacher generosity.

Quantum Activity in Brain Microtubules?

12.5 minutes

In a previous episode, Kevin introduced the "transducer model" of the brain, comparing it to a mobile phone accessing external servers. In this segment, he briefly explains the "Orch OR" theory that proposes consciousness occurs as quantum waves in the microtubules of brain neurons. Quantum properties such as superposition could explain how the brain works as a transducer. Recent investigation counters the argument that quantum waves would break down in the warm, wet microtubules.

Could There Be More Than One Strategy?

6 minutes

A&P instructors often wonder if their courses need a revamp. While no universal teaching strategy guarantees success, the art of teaching lies in choosing the right mix of time-tested and modern techniques. Drawing from personal experiences, Kevin highlights the journey of discovering, adapting, and refining various strategies to boost student outcomes.

There Really Is Only One Strategy

13 minutes

Addressing the quest for the single, ultimate course-fix strategy, the emphasis is on flexibility in continually trying new things to improve a course. From age-old techniques to fresh, experimental approaches, being open to all strategies is really that "one" key to teaching and student success. Uniformity demanded by rigid course templates or official, designated courses can be limiting to course and instructor improvement over time—and can be harmful (such as failing to nurture uncertainty tolerance).
