1. Kinesiology: Gain Health Benefits And Self Awareness Through Kinesiology
The Kinesiology Course introduces students to the most popular of the variations and modalities of this natural therapy technique, explaining how they help.
You will be taught how to use gentle kinesiology-based exercises to gain health benefits and self-awareness for yourself, friends, and family members.
As the word ‘Kinesiology’ suggests, this practice is about the therapy and exploration of movement and mechanics within the body. Whether you have arrived at this page because you already have some knowledge of what kinesiology is and want to study it in more detail or you got here another way and have the burning question of ‘What is kinesiology?’, module 1 will bring clarity; exploring the therapy and how it fits in alongside general health. How it is used and practised as a physical treatment of movement, is discussed.
The 2nd module of the Kinesiology Course provides students with an understanding of the differences between health and ill health, or balance and lack of balance. This is done through briefly explaining the various systems of the body and physiological balance involved within them, which will help students understand the need for re-balancing, which is addressed later in the course.
In kinesiology, it is important to recognise the imbalance in the systems of the body, the main technique of doing so being muscle testing, which is explained in module 3. This module covers how to test for and recognise both general and specific imbalances, and also discusses variations within kinesiology.
A big factor in energy breakdowns of the body, is stress. The 4th module of the Kinesiology Course discusses this link and how muscle testing can identify and, working with other therapies, aid in the recovery of various stresses and their related symptoms.
The 5th module of the course focuses on the role of kinesiology in testing for various allergies, as well as informing students in how each allergy covered affects the body. Also discussed here, is the needs we have as humans along with how kinesiology can provide emotional release.
Having discussed what is possible with the physical muscle testing that is used alongside the other areas discussed in the course so far, the 6th module of the Kinesiology Course concentrates exclusively on this area. This teaches how to perform muscle tests and what can be done to realign any breakdowns in energy flow.
Kinesiology is strictly speaking, simply a name given to muscle testing, which can provide information to the practitioner about what treatment the client needs. Module 7 explains the various holistic health studies that can be partnered with kinesiology to create a focussed holistic practice. There are several areas that the muscle test can be combined with that will help to: physically re-align the body, make gentle changes or help with lifestyle changes, along with aiding treatment choices for physical injury. The therapies in each area are covered in this module.
The final module of the Kinesiology Course is all about how to use what you have learned from this course, along with your chosen specialism/s, to create a business. This covers the various areas that you will need to be aware of to build and run a successful business, and keep on top of personal development.
2. Sports Massage Practitioner: Learn Everything You Need To Know To Pursue A Successful Sports Massage Career
From theories and techniques on providing effective massages relevant to your clients’ needs, to setting up a practice and retaining clients, the Sports Massage Practitioner Course guides you through everything you need to know to pursue a successful sports massage career.
You’ll start out with the basics – what a sports massage is, how it differs from other massage types and how it evolved into the practice it is today, before learning about sports massage’s subtypes and the purposes of individual techniques.
The effects of sports massage are not singular but can be broken down into three components: physiological, physical, and psychological. The course explains how sports massage benefits each area and details particular benefits to the body, both before and after a sports event.
The Sports Massage Practitioner Course guides you through the massage techniques used in this therapy, covering Myofascial Release (MFR) Technique, Effleurage, Petrissage, Friction, and Tapotement, along with other massage techniques. You’ll learn how each works and the different methods used within each type.
With the Sports Massage Practitioner Course, you’ll be taken beyond the theories and techniques of the practice, as you learn how to take these skills and apply them in your own sports massage practice. You’ll discover what it takes to be successful in the industry, how to create an environment that is aligned with your clients’ goals and expectations, and the equipment you’ll need, both day-to-day and for specific treatment types.
You’ll learn about the professional principles that you need to put in place and adhere to, to ensure you are running a business that demonstrates integrity, professionalism and competence – providing high-quality treatments to every client and encouraging customer retention.
Another important, and often overlooked area that the Sports Massage Practitioner Course covers is keeping client records. As with any data, it is important to know what information you need from your clients to best serve their needs and how to treat this data. You’ll learn what information to collate and the legal requirements regarding the storage and disposal of the business records of your therapy service.
3. Anatomy and Physiology: Take A Journey Through The Incredible Mass Of Cells That Is Your Body
The course begins by looking at the structural organisation of the whole body and the hierarchy of our body, from organism to atom, and how it maintains homeostasis, and therefore correct body function, through regulation of metabolism. You’ll learn about the building blocks of the human body – cells, and the various types of tissues they can form.
The largest organ of the body, the skin, has more functions than you may first consider. The Anatomy & Physiology Course explores these functions and how the skin is constructed, including in-depth information about the dermis. You’ll also learn some interesting facts about the hair and nails, and the various pathologies of these, and the skin.
206 bones make up the framework for your body, known as the skeletal system. You’ll learn the function of the skeleton, the various types of bones and the structure of bone itself, including how it grows and develops. The divisions and purposes of the skeletal system are explained and the structure, functions and various types of joints are examined, along with the muscles and tendons that support them. The muscular system is also covered, including the function and structure of the different types of attachments of muscles, how muscles contract, and the position and action of muscles.
From the moment an item of food enters the mouth a process begins by which it is processed, digested, the nutrients absorbed, and unused materials removed. The Anatomy & Physiology Course follows the journey it takes, examining how each organ in the digestive system plays its part.
