Physiopedia partners with Primal Pictures to share images
In our opinion Primal Pictures has one of the most complete, detailed and accurate 3D model of human anatomy available. Derived from real human data, this range of software provides over 5,000 3D anatomical structures, clinical slides, dissections, animations and much more. Physiopedia and Primal are very pleased to now offer a Primal Pictures Image Bank for use in the articles that you create and update.
Primal Pictures have very kindly donated a selection of images for us to use in Physiopedia and although Primal Pictures retain the copyright on these images and request that they are not used outside of Physiopedia without special permission, we can use any of these pictures in articles that you are working on in Physiopedia.
To use the pictures:
- Go to the image bank
- Click on the image that you would like to use. This will take you to the image page for that picture.
- You can get the name of the image from that page. It will look something like this:
Interactive Spine – Lumbar Vertebral Spine – L7F19.jpg - Add the image to your page as you would normally do. See the adding images tutorial for further assistance.
It’s really that easy! And by the way, it was Primal Pictures’ 20th birthday last week, so Happy Birthday to them!!

The Buzz of World Physical Therapy Day!
For World Physical Therapy Day we created an entire new section on non-comunicable diseases. In alignment with the United Nations summit on non-communicable disease we wanted to demonstrate the enormous contribution the we, the physiotherapy profession, can make in countering non-communicable diseases. These pages in Physiopedia can be used to publicise our work, educate the public and policy makers about what we do, and try and ensure that people around the world benefit from our skills. Many people do not recognise the contribution physiotherapists make in keeping people healthy and independent, so join us to let them know!! These pages are still open for editing and we welcome continued contributions.
See the pages here:
In addition we joined in the World Physical Therapy buzz on twitter, we were:
- tweeting amongst ourselves using the hashtags #WPTD2011 #PhysioPT
- tweeting to the people of the world using the hashtags #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy
Navigate back to September 8th on any of these hashtags to see what the profession was tweeting about on World Physical Therapy Day 2011. I wonder what technology we will be using next year…?
