The course is designed for complementary therapists and is recognised by the Kinesiology Federation as fulfilling core requirements. It is worth 3 credits
The emphasis throughout the course is a consideration of anatomy and physiology from a holistic perspective. Common problems are therefore discussed in terms of their associated emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances as well as from a physical perspective. The course also introduces simple balances and other practical activities and suggests approaches which clients can use to help themselves.
One evening during the course there will be an opportunity to learn the Optimum Health Balance Mini course for anyone interested. This introduces the use of vibrational icons for opening up the energetic patterns in the body involved with the imbalances and the use of the Daily Balance Card for restoring balance. Qualified kinesiologists have found this to be a very useful tool which they have included in their menu. The course includes a set of the cards containing the icons, the ‘menu’ for their use and an explanatory booklet (costs £60).
Learning objectives of the A and P course:
