Body Atlas

Clinical anatomy for massage therapists.

Start with the body

Body Areas

Choose a region to explore its structures, anatomy, movement, palpation references and clinical relevance.

Clinical Patterns

What is the client experiencing?

Use common presentations as exploration pathways—not diagnoses. Start with the symptom or movement pattern, then consider the body areas and structures worth examining.

POSTURE & MOVEMENT

Upper Crossed Pattern

Explore cervical position, shoulder girdle mechanics, pectorals, upper trapezius, levator scapulae and scapular stabilizers.

POSTURE & MOVEMENT

Lower Crossed Pattern

Explore hip flexors, lumbar extensors, gluteals, abdominal support and hip extension mechanics.

SHOULDER

Pain with Shoulder Elevation

Explore abduction and flexion, rotator cuff structures, deltoid, scapular movement and symptom behavior.

NEUROLOGICAL DISTRIBUTION

Hand Numbness & Tingling

Explore symptom distribution and possible median, ulnar, radial or cervical contributions before deciding what requires referral.

SPINE & LEG

Low Back to Leg Symptoms

Explore location, radiation, movement behavior, lumbar and hip structures, neurological features and red flags.

ELBOW & FOREARM

Lateral Elbow Pain

Explore wrist-extensor loading, forearm tissues, gripping behavior and adjacent movement patterns.

Clinical Language

Describe what you actually find

Clinical Language helps you turn observation and palpation into clear, consistent terminology. It separates what you feel, what the client reports, what you observe and what changes with movement.

How to use it

Start with the finding, not a diagnosis. Identify the tissue or movement you examined, describe the quality of the finding, compare sides when useful, and record whether the client's familiar symptoms are reproduced or changed.

A simple clinical sequence

Where? → structure or region
What do you feel? → tissue quality / tone
What does the client report? → symptom
What changes? → movement / ROM
What will you compare later? → Clinical Memory

Tissue Quality

Symptoms

Palpation

Mobility

Treatment Response

Clinical Memory

What did you find last time?

Save observations from an anatomical structure and revisit them later to support reassessment. This is longitudinal observation—not a patient chart or diagnosis.

Learn with Body Atlas

From reference to understanding

Use the same anatomical library as a guided learning environment.

Visual anatomy

Use anatomical images and palpation references to connect location with structure.

Listen & watch

Audio explanations and guided visuals reinforce each structure and clinical pathway.

Clinical reasoning

Connect symptoms and movement findings with structures worth exploring while staying within massage-therapy scope.
