The Anatomy &
Physiology award is the
'foundation' upon which all
other Complementary, Beauty and
Sports Therapy awards are based.

and the Skin, Skeletal System,
Muscular System, Nervous System,
Human Senses, Endocrine System,

It is essential
for therapists of all areas of
health and applied sciences to
have a sound understanding of
anatomy and physiology, as they
will be working in direct
contact with the body
structures. It is also vital
that they have a comprehensive
knowledge of diseases and
disorders of the human body so
that they are aware of when and
when not to treat a client, and
only operate within certain
parameters.
The
Certificate in Anatomy and
Physiology provides entry into
other health science courses.
