PHYSICAL THERAPY
Whole-body participation is the key to effective rehabilitation or performance enhancement. The perpetuating factor is often not where the pain is – Learn to see where lack of movement in one area is causing overstrain and pain in another. Anatomy Trains can help you see the overall pattern and assess ‘what’s missing’ in movement.
How Do I Start?

We also have a great collection of On Demand Learning courses geared towards manual therapsists on our website here.

Upon further investigation (see the second link), it turns out they 3D-printed the matrix for the cartilage cells – which they added later… Read more
