The Skeletal System module provides a detailed study of the bones and joints that form the framework of the human body. Learners will understand the structure, function, and types of bones, as well as how the skeletal system supports movement, protects organs, and produces blood cells.

This section also covers:

• Major bones and landmarks of the body

• Joint types and movements

• Bone development, growth, and repair

• Common conditions and pathologies affecting the skeletal system

• The relevance of the skeletal system to massage therapy

Students will use textbooks, diagrams, worksheets, and self-assessment exercises to consolidate their knowledge. Understanding the skeletal system is essential for safe, effective massage practice and forms the foundation for learning about the muscular and nervous systems.
