Description

In The Vertebral Column we will take a detailed look at one of the most amazing anatomical structures found in the human body. The bones, joints, ligaments,and muscles will all be covered giving the student a clear picture of the structural components of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar sections of the spinal column. We will see how the complicated structure of the vertebral column lends itself to low back pain which is considered almost epidemic in modern society. Individual case studies will help students better understand this area and devise appropriate manual interventions with their clients.

All installments of The Living Body Series® are in the format of written text material with appropriate diagrams. Being well versed in this information will allow you to talk more confidently with your clients as well as with other health care professionals.
