There are three main planes of the body. Sagittal, Frontal, and the Transverse plane. All are equally important for the fundamental mechanics and mobility of the body. The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves and allows for forward and backward joint movements known as flexion and extension. The frontal plane divides the body into front and back halves and allows for side to side movements known as abduction, adduction, and side bending. The transverse plan divides the body
