Anatomy and Kinesiology

Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body—how bones, muscles, organs, and tissues are organized and connected. Kinesiology focuses on how the body moves, examining muscle function, joint motion, and movement patterns. Together, they help us understand how the body works, why we move the way we do, and how to improve movement or address issues through exercise, treatment, or therapy. Think of anatomy as the body's blueprint and kinesiology as the study of its mechanics in action.
