Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology

Anatomy & Physiology is the common language of all Health Practitioners, e.g. Massage; NeuroMuscular; Bowen Technique; Kinesiologists, Naturopaths; Reflexologists; Health Coaches; Physiotherapists; Doctors; Chiropractors; Personal Trainers etc. Learning this language gives you access to professionally communicate with all of these people, & thereby build up higher levels of mutual trust & respect. You will NEVER be less effective as a Practitioner for having studied and understood the experience & knowledge that is Anatomy & Physiology. This is the subject of your profession - how the body works in all its different functions; & when & why it stops working properly, or completely. This is what we are here to help with - the optimal functioning of the body.

We'd love you to come on this journey with us - a journey that will excite & expand your mind to the wonder & intricacy of the human body; & will, if you're ready to move on, begin to crumble any limiting beliefs you may have around your complete ability to learn this important & powerful information.

The course covers

• All the major body systems and,
• Their common pathologies

You will gain a whole new understanding of how your body works - and will completely transform the way you think of your body - and bodies in general.

Please note - this course does not cover any in depth Musculo-Skeletal anatomy. This will be covered in the Applied Musculo-Skeletal Anatomy Course (AMSA).

Note: feedback from previous students indicate that around 4-6 hours preparation is recommended for each session.
