Craig is an Online Course Facilitator in Health Sciences at UniSA Online. In his role, he is responsible for the development and delivery of teaching high-quality and engaging online courses, and managing the day-to-day activities of online tutoring staff.
Craig's PhD investigated the functional role(s) of the pyramidalis muscle - a muscle considered by modern-day anatomists as vestigial. Craig's ongoing research interests center around the intimate relationship between structure and function as it pertains to the pyramidalis muscle, and the impact of pyramidalis muscle activity on trunk and hip biomechanics in both health and disease.
