Functional Anatomy

توضیحات

Functional Anatomy was written to help students of human movement and bodywork understand how anatomical structures work together to create motion. Developing an understanding of the body in all of its complex synchronicity is critical for students of massage and bodywork. These careers require the therapist to create concise and effective treatment plans. Fitness and sports professionals are routinely called upon to analyze complex movement patterns in order to maximize the athlete’s performance and prevent injury.

Beyond these pragmatic benefits, an understanding of functional anatomy develops heightened intellectual and artistic appreciation of the human body in motion. With a deep understanding of structure-function relationships, we begin to see the client’s body as a living, breathing, moving marvel. Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Palpation for Manual Therapists can assist you in exploring the structures and anatomical relationships responsible for movements such as walking, running, lifting, and throwing. You will be guided through activities that involve inspecting, touching, and moving these structures, enabling you to create a solid, three-dimensional image of the human body and its movement potential.
