The Structure & Function of Bones
Knowledge of the structure and function of bones and aspects of skeletal system generally are essential parts of training in many therapies, such as Massage, Aromatherapy, Acupuncture, Shiatsu, and others. This page is intended to include the detail required for most Basic / First Level Courses in these therapies, and some ITEC Diplomas.
