Human Anatomy and Physiology
Overview
The objectives of this class are to explore the intricate systems and functions of the human body in the context of how our personal choices can cause wellness or dis-ease. The effects of emotional and spiritual health upon the physical body will also be discussed. My expertise is massage so I will be teaching some massage techniques to give a hands-on understanding of the musculoskelatal system. Hopefully the head and neck massage will be practiced on parents? If you have any questions, concerns, or would like more specifics on the materials to be covered, feel free to contact Conrad or me. I am most easily reached evenings at 536-3763.
Sincerely, Allicia Woodhouse
