Description

We are bringing you the body series going over a in depth discussion and tools on sections of the body. We will be talking about facts and history related to each region, anatomy/physiology, misconceptions of the medical model, holistic approach to care, and tools of assessing/maintenance to optimize your structure long-term.This video we will be covering the Elbows, Wrists, Fingers, Ankles, and Feet while looking at the areas above and below that area which influence the nearby structures. We will bring you up-to-date literature in our discussion to back our opinion.
