The Course
The Anatomy and Physiology award is the ’foundation’
upon which all other Complementary, Beauty and Sports Therapy awards are
based. It is comprised of several units encompassing all systems of the
body. It is vital that a therapist understands the anatomy and physiology
in detail, as they will be working in direct contact with the body structures.
It is also vital that they have a full knowledge of diseases and disorders
of the human so that they are aware of when and when not to treat a client
and only operate within certain perimeters.
The ITEC Unit 22 ' Professional Conduct and Business Awareness '
is also included in this course. This unit is mandatory for students continuing
on to the reflexology course.
The principal tutor Denise Whichello Brown has
been practicing massage for over 21 years. She studied massage to a particularly
high level during her 5 years of osteopathic training and she brings a wealth
of experience gained during her successful treatments of many thousands
of patients.
