Learn the basic anatomy and physiology of the skeletal system by studying the bones and major joints of the body. Study postural concepts used to describe body position, such as anatomic position and static terminology (anterior, posterior, etc.) Learn movement terms (flexion, extension, etc.) and how the body moves in planes and around axes. Understand basic skeletal anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology so that you can begin to critically understand, discuss, and teach the strengthening and stretching exercises of the Pilates Method of body conditioning! Ends with a two-part exam: the practicum/oral exam (approximately 30 minutes) and the written exam (approximately 60 minutes). Required text: Kinesiology: The Skeletal System and Muscle Functioning by Joseph E. Muscolino.
