Students must have successfully completed Introduction to Osteopathic Theory & Practice; Form & Function; Clinical Osteopathy 1 and REPS 1 (all year 1 modules), unless exemption has been agreed.

This module aims to consolidate the students' knowledge of the `normal' structure and function of the human body, and uses that knowledge to gain an insight into the `abnormal' processes that take place, specifically the dysfunction of the musculo-skeletal system. Students' anatomical and physiological knowledge is transformed into a three-dimensional appreciation of how the body tissues are structured. A brief introduction to the concept of disease processes is included.

Three-dimensional anatomy of structures
Palpation of body parts and areas
Biomechanics of dysfunction
Introduction to patho-physiology
