Axial Skeleton Our axial skeleton consists of the bones generally in the center of our body. They serve to protect our vital organs such as our , , and ! They also act as attachment points for many muscles and ligaments (stay tuned for more specific posts on these!).... The axial skeleton is composed of our skulls, vertebral column, ribcage, and pelvis. All of these components function together to not only provide protection, but to allow for movement as well.

Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones that make up your extremities (limbs). These include the bones of the arms, hands, wrists, fingers, pelvis, thigh, knees, shins, feet, and toes! Hopefully this brief outline of some of the bones in our joints can help you appreciate how complex our body is. Moreover, it shows just how well everything can work together to promote movement and function! ...

Anatomy is the bread and butter of a Physiotherapist's career. So we thought we would try and share some entry level knowledge to help you understand your body better! The Anatomical Position is a universal reference position that we use when we are describing where things are in our body. This helps keep everything consistent! Other Terminology:... Superior = Above Inferior = Below Anterior = in front Posterior = Behind Medial = closer to the middle Lateral = away from midline Superficial = closer to the surface Deep = underneath Proximal = closer to Distal = farther from These are just some of the terms we use on a daily basis to help us describe structures in the body.

Should I get some imaging done? We get asked this question so much as physios. The answer, like many things, is that it depends. Imaging is good at showing us what CHANGES have occurred within our bodies. However, imaging is not always the best thing to point out WHY we are having pain. In other words, just because we see changes on imaging, does NOT mean that those changes are the cause of your pain! This can clearly be shown in a 2015 study by Brinjikji et al conducted i...maging studies on people with and without back pain and compared their findings. People WITHOUT back pain still had significantly high amounts of bony changes but were ASYMPTOMATIC. These bony changes are generally a NORMAL process of aging that everyone goes through. So, should you get that imaging done? Maybe. It’s more important for us to know how well you can MOVE and FUNCTION! *Reminder: You are NOT defined by your diagnosis! Questions?
