Body Parts
24 body parts across 9 anatomical systems. Each one leads to the conditions and evidence-graded remedies that affect it.
Skeletal
Bones and joints: the frame, and where wear, breaks, and arthritis show up.
-
Knee
The body’s largest hinge joint, where the femur, tibia and kneecap meet — a frequent site of osteoarthritis and overuse pain.
-
Hand & wrist
Many small joints make the hands an early and telling site of inflammatory arthritis.
-
Calf
The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles — a common site of night cramps and post-exercise soreness.
-
Thigh
The large quadriceps and hamstring muscles, frequently sore after unfamiliar training.
-
Lower back
The lumbar spine and its supporting muscles — the most common site of back pain.
-
Head & skull
The cranium, facial bones, jaw, and the small bones of the ear.
-
Neck
The cervical spine and the structures of the throat and larynx.
-
Shoulder
The scapula and clavicle and the joint that links the arm to the trunk.
-
Chest & ribs
The ribcage, sternum, and the bones that protect the heart and lungs.
-
Upper arm
The humerus — the long bone between shoulder and elbow.
-
Forearm
The radius and ulna, between the elbow and the wrist.
-
Hip & pelvis
The pelvic bones and the hip joint that carry the body's weight.
-
Foot & ankle
The tarsals, metatarsals, and toe bones, and the ankle.
-
Upper back
The thoracic spine — the twelve vertebrae of the mid and upper back.
Muscular
Muscles and tendons: strains, soreness, cramps, and recovery.

Organs
The major viscera: heart, lungs, liver, gut, kidneys, brain.
-
Brain
The brain — control center for mood, sleep, pain, and cognition.
-
Heart
The heart — the pump behind circulation and blood pressure.
-
Lungs & airways
The lungs, trachea, and bronchi — breathing and gas exchange.
-
Liver
The liver — metabolism, bile, and detoxification.
-
Stomach
The stomach — acid digestion; the site of reflux and ulcers.
-
Intestines & gut
The small and large intestine — digestion, absorption, and gut health.
-
Kidneys
The kidneys — filtration, fluid and mineral balance, and stones.
-
Pancreas
The pancreas — digestive enzymes and blood-sugar hormones.
-
Thyroid
The thyroid gland — sets metabolic rate via thyroid hormone.
Nervous
Brain, spinal cord, and nerves: pain signalling, sleep, mood.
Cardiovascular
Heart and vessels: blood pressure, lipids, circulation.
Respiratory
Airways and lungs: cough, congestion, breathing.
Digestive
Stomach, intestines, and gut: reflux, bloating, regularity.
Endocrine
Hormones and glands: thyroid, blood sugar, stress.
