Revise Skeletal Structures -
Essential Knowledge for Reflexologists
Completing an accredited course in Reflexology involves gaining
and demonstrating considerable knowledge of Human Anatomy and Physiology.
This includes all of the body's systems - not just the feet and
hands.
Knowledge of the structures of the hands and feet in particular
is very important.
This article illustrates the bones and some key features of the
major bones of the lower legs and feet, and also the arms and hands.
These diagrams are suitable preparation for, and revision of, courses
in reflexology - and are also useful for courses in general Human
Anatomy and Physiology.
