positioning individuals.
1.1 - Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to

tissues, organs, the body as a whole. The main function of a muscle is to aid
in movement to the individual, muscles aid in movement by contracting.

damage and even bones to break.
1.2 - Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement
and positioning of an individual.

have it written down so they may understand what movement we are
aiming for.
