    Can you reccomend at good anatomical model skeleton to buy?

    Taping
    Hi,

    I'm looking for a model that will be suitable for my first year at uni, something that's not too expensive but will help me learn all the bones of the body. Maybe the 33' 'Flexible Mr Thrifty Skeleton With Spinal Nerves' would be suitable? Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    The Mr Thrifty is cool. I have one on my desk and use it all the time. The feet don't articulate not the small bones of the hand but he can do most other things including Pilates and McKenzie Exercises

    Hehe thanks physio Bob. The 'Thrifty' aspect is very appealing, do the joints move quite realistically? and would you recommend giving one's model skeleton a name to make it more favourable?

    Must have Kinesiology Taping DVD
    Indeed most of the joints move naturally. He is slightly supported with some restriction in the rib cage and shoulder areas so he doesn't fall apart. Mine likes being called Mr Thrifty and enjoys wearing my VOIP headset
