ESSENTRICS TRAINING SERIES ANATOMY GUIDE ESSENTRICS TRAINING SERIES ANATOMY GUIDE 1 ANATOMY STUDY GUIDE Level 3 and 4 require that you demonstrate a working knowledge of anatomy and physiology. As an Essentrics Instructor, you should know which muscle you are targeting within a given stretch or exercise and how these muscle movements impact the rest of your body. Knowing your anatomy will help you understand how to rebalance the full body by effectively cuing your students which muscles to target, relax and engage in any give exercise. If your client is suffering from pain, an injury or a chronic condition (you may be unfamiliar with the specific condition), it is essential that you understand what is not functioning properly and how the related anatomy is affected. The only way to distinguish if something is not functioning properly is to understand what it’s proper function should be. If this is your first time learning anatomy- you are not alone! See our tips and educational resources at the end of this document to help you successfully incorporate this knowledge into your learning repertoire and better help you teach Essentrics. Muscles and their Movements: You will be expected know the following information about Muscles and their Movements for your Live Evaluation: - Muscle Names: see chart provided below for the exact muscles you should be familiar with - Muscle Attachment points: indicate which bone the muscle is attached to. Please note that you only need to refer to the name of the bone the muscle is attached to based on the skeleton list provided in this document. - Muscle Function: What are the primary actions of the muscle. How does it lengthen, how does it shorten? Here are some sample questions you will be asked in your Live Evaluation: 1. What are the _______________ muscles’ origin and insertion (attachment) points, indicate which bones the muscle is attached to. 2. What are the Primary actions & functions of the _______________ muscle 3. Which Level 3 Essentrics Flexibility exercise(s) would target and lengthen the _______________ muscle? (if you are taking the Level 3 exam) 4. Which Level 4 Essentrics Strengthening exercise(s) would target and strengthen the _______________ muscle? (if you are taking the Level 4 exam)
