Anatomy and Physiology Two Day Course

What is Anatomy and Physiology?

The Skin is the largest organ in the body, usually the most abused, overlooked and taken for granted.

Understand the organ, understand the condition, understand the client – get the right conclusion.

Skin is an incredible organ possessing a variety of functions unmatched by any other, from survival to social communication.

It is a barrier against the outside world, with millions of nerve endings that help us to feel our way through life.

It’s also a wall and a window. It surrounds us physically, but it is also totally psychological.

We need to understand and respect the millions of cells that work tirelessly through our life, all with different jobs to do.

Respect them, understand them, honour them and never take them for granted.

Our skin confronts us with our own mortality!

This course is written with the advanced therapist in mind. It is totally related to the skin and not the entire body.

Let’s work with it by understanding it.

This course is in-depth but completely related to the skin and its functions. This will aid you in any treatments you offer now and in the future.

This course is most often done via webinar.
