Functional Anatomy

You will learn

Human anatomy is truly fascinating and is one of the reasons why I wanted to design a course specifically about this complex subject.

In my experience, student therapists struggle to learn the basic components of anatomy and this can be for many reasons. I wanted to design a course purely about functional anatomy and trust me, once enrolled, you will learn so much about the human body.

Author, osteopath and lecturer John Gibbons brings years of expertise and this will be demonstrated during this course. First he will teach you the theoretical components of anatomy; including the individual bones with associated bony landmarks, ligaments, nerves, muscles, tendons and movements for the major joints of the  body. Once that has been understood, he takes you on a practical ‘journey’ of enlightenment through the visual presentations and interactions of using real life human anatomy.   

On completion of the course you will have the underlying and fundamental anatomical knowledge necessary to identify and discuss the majority of the anatomical structures located within the human framework.
