Health Education and Healthcare practices cause a “disjointed” view of the human body.
In school, we teach physiology, anatomy, pathology and kinesiology of each body part/section independently from each other. I have been noticing that students have a difficult time seeing the full body component of health. I am finding it hard to get them to reassociate all the individual learning of body functions and kinesiology back into one big entity.
When I look at how our healthcare system is set up, with all the specialists working independently from each other, a patient gets again separated in bits and pieces and very rarely gets viewed/assessed as one entity. Big health concerns that affect multiple systems are often missed and treated as a multitude of individual concerns
How can I help the students understand that a reduction of extension with the right big toe can be the cause of the left TMJ cracking?
