Anatomy for soft tissue therapists: what should I be learning? Q&A with James Earls
27 Nov 2024
The STA Therapy Update Theatre
Clinical Reasoning
Clinical anatomy is taught in every manual therapy school but is it the right tool for the job? Are we suffering from 'teaching fixation'? "That's the way it's always been taught!"... "This is what it says in the books!"... "This is what they will ask in the exam!" These are all common excuses for things remaining the same. In this Q&A session, James Earls will discuss whether there is a better way to understand the human body and how it moves.
- An appreciation of the limitations of clinical anatomy.
- An introduction to the tools and language of functional anatomy.
- The ability to describe multidimensional movement.
- An introduction to the pluripotentiality of muscle tissue.
