MODULE 1

THE SPINE

1.1 Introducing The Spine

The course kicks off by introducing the spine, it's components and their function. Using state-of-the-art 3D models, the trainee is shown animated depictions of the human spine and spinal cord, to give them a good feel for how the structures look and function.

1.3 The Thoracic Vertebrae

Moving on to the Thoracic Vertebrae, the 3D model turns slowly showing the trainee how the vertebrae support the rib-cage, how many bones there are and the function that remains after a break in this area. Trainees are also shown the critical effect breaks above T12 can have on clients and how it affects their lives.

1.4 The Lumbar Vertebrae

Moving down the spine, the trainee is presented with 3D graphics depicting the Lumbar vertebrae. Here, they learn how most people suffer pain in this area and a story is shared with them about a person who suffered damage in this area and how it affected them.

1.6 The Coccygeal Vertebrae

While the coccygeal vertebrae represent the smallest bones in the spine, their presence is vital non-the-less. The introductory presentation to the spine shows these bones and explains the consequences of damaging them.
