Dementia is a general term for a group of conditions that cause a progressive decline in brain function. It affects memory, thinking, communication, behaviour, and the ability to carry out everyday activities.

It is not a normal part of ageing and is caused by physical changes in the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type, but there are several others.The main other types of dementia (besides Alzheimer’s disease) are:
• Vascular dementia – caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often after strokes or small vessel disease.
• Lewy body dementia – involves abnormal protein deposits; common features include hallucinations, fluctuating alertness, and Parkinson-like movement issues.
• Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) – affects behaviour, personality, or language first; often occurs at a younger age.
• Mixed dementia – a combination of two or more types (commonly Alzheimer’s and vascular).

These types differ in symptoms depending on which areas of the brain are affected.

This Body Worlds specimen shows the muscles of the lower limb and how they work together for movement:
• Gluteal muscles – stabilise the pelvis and power hip extension (standing, climbing).
• Quadriceps (front thigh) – straighten the knee for walking and rising from sitting.
• Hamstrings (back thigh) – bend the knee and assist hip extension.
• Calf muscles (gastrocnemius & soleus) – push the body forward during walking and running.
• Foot and ankle muscles/tendons – control balance, toe-off, and shock absorption.

Together, these muscles enable posture, walking, running, and balance.

The shoulder and its surrounding muscles and nerves. This is an anatomical dissection of the human upper limb.

It shows the muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels of the arm and forearm laid out, likely from shoulder to hand. You can see the muscle bellies, long tendons, and neurovascular bundles (pale cord-like structures), used for anatomy teaching to understand structure and movement of the arm.

Did you know that up to 30% of your explosive power doesn’t come from your muscles, but from your fascia?

That’s right. Fascia isn’t just passive packaging. It stores and releases elastic energy like a rubber band, helping you jump higher, sprint faster, and move more efficiently. 🏃‍♂️💨

Yet, most training programs overlook it. They focus purely on strength and muscle size, missing the hidden powerhouse beneath the surface.

👉 That’s why we created the brand new Fascia Training in Athletic Performance mentorship program beginning this September!

For trainers, coaches, physical therapists, and bodyworkers that want their clients to be stronger, faster and more injury resilient.

Myotherapists are health care professionals with deep knowledge, expert skills and significant clinical experience solving musculoskeletal enigmas...

We don’t just treat symptoms—we solve puzzles.
Myotherapists are uniquely trained to assess and treat the whole neuromusculoskeletal system (yep, say that 3 times fast).

That means:
✔️ Muscle + joint care
✔️ Nerve-related pain
✔️ Long-term recovery strategies
✔️ A whole lot of clinical curiosity

We’re movement nerds, pain science advocates, and function-first thinkers.
