Go to Body Worlds 3


If you haven't seen Body Worlds 3 exhibition at Science World yet, you only have until Jan. 14th, 2007 to do it. Now, it's not for everyone of course, but if you have any interest in the human body it's definitely worth considering. For us physiotherapists, we have worked with cadavers in the anatomy labs through our university education, but the way these bodies are presented offer something different. They are very well positioned and prepared to show the relationships and dynamics of various structures within the body.

It's a safe bet that any sports physiotherapist in the lower mainland has visited this exhibit at least once. But even if you are not involved in the medical field, if you are an athlete, dancer, artist or just share the same fascination with the human body, I highly recommend it. If you've ever had an injury and want a better understanding of it, research what it was and then take a trip to Science World.

And Lastly, please understand that these are real human bodies, so if you don't feel comfortable with this, don't go. If you're unsure, search for some images of the exhibition online first to see what you think.
