I am a physiotherapy student and I am amazed how your videos are so useful in solidifying and clarifying what we are taught in our classes. Keep doing what you do!!

Thank you so much! I was just a bit short of fully understanding how to visualize movement around an axis through my textbook or other videos, but this presentation was articulate and succinct. Just perfect!

I'm a P.T student and damn, this clarifies alot. Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much! I have always struggled to understand movement around an axis (except in the case of pure rotation), but this video with the narration was spot on! - a medical student

I'm in PTA school and I've been having trouble grasping these concepts, but this was a huge help. Thanks, much appreciated!

currently studying Human structure and function and this really helped simplify the planes and there axes for me. Thanks heaps!!

im confused. at 1:06 he says the transversal axis is also called the frontal axis. but isnt the frontal axis the coronal axis?

Thank you! This is by far the simplest and most comprehensive explanation I was able to find.

I have an exam on this tomorrow and I came into this video so confused. Makes perfect sense now! Thanks!

My physical education teacher couldn't explain this within the 40 minutes allotted to her.
*Sighhh*
Great video BTW!!
[Edit]: 1:14 Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
