Strengthening Connections: Exploring Bones and Joints Through Movement

Back by popular demand, we will be running this event for a second time this semester!

Join us to celebrate National Bone and Joint Week with this interactive event. Designed for students interested in our Physiotherapy and Sport and Rehabilitation Therapy courses.

Students will be immersed in the world of bones and joints. There'll be hands-on activities, educational demonstrations, and collaborative exercises. Students will:

• Gain a practical understanding of the musculoskeletal system
• Learn about the role of a physiotherapy and rehabilitation therapist
• How to maintain and improve joint health
• Insight into the University's courses.

What to Expect

Part One – Exploring Our Anatomy

Students will work within our Anatomy Centre to explore the structure of the lower limbs, including bones, hip, knee, and ankle joints. From there they will add soft tissue, muscles and finally will consider movement. Students will learn more about the anatomy of the body. They'll also learn how physiotherapists and rehabilitation therapists use this in practice.

Part Two – Let’s Get Practical

Students will put their learning into practice through movement analysis. Please note this part of the session will be practical. Participants will need to bring activewear so movement can be analysed in real time.

Please note due to the capacity of this event, for school bookings we are limiting this to five places per school. If you would like to be added to a waiting list if any additional spaces become available, please add this on the booking form.
