Fascinating subject? Interesting? Incredible? You bet it is! 

You have three choices:

• you can gain the ITEC Anatomy and Physiology Diploma before starting a therapy course
• or you can do it at the same time as a therapy course (eg massage/reflexology/aromatherapy massage/sports)
• or you could just learn Anatomy and Physiology for your own reasons – e.g. you want to know more about how the body works or want to test the water to see if you could do a full therapy course and therefore improve your confidence and self esteem (the reasons are endless)

If you later wish to train as a therapist for which the Anatomy & Physiology is a must – this means you would have less coursework as a lot of it is already done!

ITEC Anatomy & Physiology is also suitable for those going on to advanced courses i.e. Equestrian; Kinesiology; Shiatsu, Bowen etc

We have workshops on Anatomy and Physiology so that you can gain some knowledge before you start the course – you will become familiar with some of the anatomy names and how different systems link together – how the body works in simple terms – please click here for workshops page 

Our Anatomy & Physiology tutors, Roz and Kerrie, are enthusiastic and love the subject that they teach and will give you the best grounding in this fascinating field.

A variety of teaching techniques and materials are used to make the subject fun and easy
to follow including computer projection, 3D models, group activities and projects.
