Skeletal system

The skeleton is made up of 2 fundamental parts: the Axial skeleton (pelvis, spine, ribcage and cranium) and the Appendicular skeleton (legs and arms).

The Axial skeleton 'houses' the brain and nervous system and controls every function in our body. Like any structure the Axial skeleton has a foundation, the sacrum, which sits into the pelvic bones like a keystone in a Roman arch.

If the sacrum is displaced in any way, the integrity of the Roman arch is diminished and the position of each spinal segment is altered as the spine attempts to rebalance itself. This spinal re-positioning will alter how we function by affecting the 'neural drive' to the muscles and organs. At Movement3 we focus on re-organising and mobilising the key skeletal areas (ankles, knees, pelvis, spine, shoulder and cranium) to initiate the 'chain-reaction' of successful skeletal, muscular and visceral interaction.
