When Angles Matter: Understanding Femoral Torsions and Neck-Shaft Variations with Michael Watson

This webinar is focused on femoral torsion and neck-shaft angle, presented by Anatomy Trains Senior teacher Michael Watson. Variations in femoral torsion and neck–shaft angle (NSA) can have profound effects on posture, gait, and load distribution throughout the body. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to assess these differences with clarity and confidence, and how they inform both movement strategies and hands-on Structural Integration work. Drawing on current research and clinical practice, we’ll look at the history and causes of femoral shape variations, their impact on the kinetic chain, and practical approaches to integrating this understanding into assessment and treatment. Whether you’re a manual therapist, movement teacher, or health professional, this session will deepen your perspective on the femur’s role in structure and function, and give you tools to better support your clients. Previously presented live via Zoom, October 2025. Run time: 4 hours, 6 minutes
