Description

In The Shoulder Girdle and the Arm we will look at the bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles of this rather complicated area of the human body. Just enough detail is covered in order to give the student a firm understanding of the structural kinesiology of the area. The muscles are grouped into agonist/antagonist pairings, which is one of the easiest and most useful ways of organizing this information. Case studies and practical applications of the material make this installment particularly useful for the practicing bodywork therapist.

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.

Practice questions at the end of each chapter will help you review the information and deepen your understanding of the material. These are for your use only and do not need to be submitted.

This course comes with a 25-question, multiple-choice exam which must be returned for grading. Passing grade is 18 out of 25 (72%). If for some reason you do not pass, a copy of the questions you missed will be sent back to you. Upon successfully passing the exam, your course completion will be entered into the CEBroker System and you will receive a Certificate of Completion in the mail.
