Anatomy & Physiology

Anatomy & Physiology, and Health and Safety are prerequisites for all Endorsed Courses.

In this anatomy course with physiology, whether completed at the Bali International Spa Academy or on-line, students will receive a thorough understanding of all aspects of anatomy and physiology, including the skin, cells and tissue as well as the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, excretory, nervous and reproductive systems. There is a lot of content covered during the five days, so students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the basics before arrival.

This is a solid foundation course for Bali BISA, VTCT and CIBTAC courses for those whom are serious about becoming a professional spa therapist. It is a pre-requisite for some courses, including the BISA sports massage course and all CIBTAC Endorsed classes.

Many spas globally now require certification in anatomy and physiology to enable the quality of service demanded by today’s spa enthusiasts.

Shiatsu Program

The CIBTAC Shiatsu program at Bali BISA has been endorsed by CIBTAC due to its excellent training standards, so qualifications are recognized globally.

Shiatsu is one of the most fascinating wellness treatments. Although its roots are in ancient Japan, it has seen a reemergence in today’s spa and wellness facilities. The program at the Bali International Spa Academy and massage institute teaches both forms of Shiatsu.

An A-shiatsu therapist uses overhead bars to alternate the pressure on a customer’s back with their bare feet. Shiatsu involves diagnosis and therapy as the practitioners use their palms and fingers to detect differences in temperature and stiffness which are indicators of the body’s condition. Depending on the assessment, the appropriate pressure is applied to key points.

Balinese trainers at Bali BISA are well-suited to teaching these massage methods as they themselves intimately understand the power of touch which is why they are so well sought after worldwide.
