Anatomy & Physiology 1
This course is designed for the Ortho-Bionomy ® program. But is a great resource for anyone training to work with the body. It has a supported web self study component to guide you through the learning of the basic concepts and information. With 1- 2 weekend workshops to highlight the key concepts, have time with bones and models, learn palpation skills, and answer any questions the students still may have.
