For Manual Therapists conceptualizing bone is something of a challenge. Classical anatomy presents bone as a static, mineralized structure that treats loads as compressional, somewhat like a stack of bricks. The dynamic and self-healing properties of bone are not obvious, especially its pliable qualities. However, bone is by volume  33 to 43% minerals, 32 to 44% organics, and 15 to 25% water. With skilled manipulation, the pliable qualities of this matrix become apparent, however, a theoretical understanding of what is happening when bones change has until now escaped me.<\/p>\n\n\n

This article in the Feb 22 2013 journal Science is an in-depth review of our current understanding of the structure and function of structural biological materials. It covers the functional dynamics of many of these materials, including human bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
