Web Resources for Anatomy and Physiology of the Circulatory System by Kimberly Burnham, PhD, MT, IMTC

The internet is a great place to find information on anatomy and physiology and how it relates to Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The following are eight articles which look at compression syndromes of the circulatory system and manual therapies which can decrease the tensions and improve the quality of life for people after injury induced traumas, heart attacks, strokes and more.
