Are you ready to take your practice to the next level?


Understanding anatomy and physiology is like having a colourful road map inside your head while you navigate treating a human body. Knowing what can go wrong? Amazingly useful. Alongside your complementary health training, your hands-on experience and dedication, solid AP&P will up your game as a therapist.

You know this. (Even if it feels daunting.)

How about having the tougher-to-learn 'body science' decanted into simple, accessible chunks? 100% tailored for you as a complementary therapist or health practitioner?

Whatever therapy you use - maybe you're a massage therapist, osteopath, Alexander technique student, colonic hydrotherapist...  we've supported all of you and many others over the years... If you want to learn or brush up your body science we can help.

We're also the top choice for CranioSacral Therapists as that's our bag too - we know exactly what you need to know to inform the work your hands are doing.  

Why bother? Ultimately, to help you help your clients even more. After all, isn't that why we're doing this in the first place?

A College of Body Science course

will help you:

  • feel more confident

    and your clients will sense it

  • become more accurate

    as your touch will be more informed

  • stay inspired

    with learning you'll take straight into your next session

We understand your practice...

...and we speak your language

Did you struggle with anatomy, physiology and pathology during your initial training? This is different. 

If you're expecting it to be heavy and a tiny bit dull you'll probably be disappointed!

We'll intrigue and inspire you every step of the way, with many creative and innovative tweaks to the learning process. We all remember more if we learn creatively - even if we worry that we won't remember it at all!

Your College of Body Science instructor, Caroline Barrow, has trained in CranioSacral Therapy, visceral manipulation and shiatsu, and been teaching the ‘science-y’ stuff for over 25 years. She's got pretty good at anticipating – and answering – the questions that naturally occur either when you are starting out or after you’ve been practicing a while, and will take good care of you, helping you with your next step.

You'll need The Foundation Certificate in Body Science

This is our flagship introduction to anatomy, physiology and pathology, which includes 14 live online check in sessions.

It is an intensive, mostly online, foundation course for anyone wanting to study without previous training (that said, its a great refresher too!).

The next live check in sessions will start 2nd February 2026.

A Day in the Dissection Lab should do the trick...

We understand...
that learning - and remembering - anatomy & physiology can be challenging

So we'll make it as easy as possible!

Most of us didn’t start out on the journey to becoming a therapist from a passion for the science. Most of us wanted to be of help and service to others.

But deeply knowing and understanding the physical and physiological terrain we are working with is an important part of that service.

It may take a while - and we are always learning, right? - but we can keep building on this, one step at a time, learning the language, building a 3-d understanding in our minds.

Some of our courses start with the framework, others fill in the detail. All give our hands more information that can be called on as and when a client needs it!

What students are saying

“The online courses have great depth of content and knowledge. You are with like-minded people in the zoom classroom. Caroline is a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to the anatomy; all the courses are worth every penny and now you can get access to all the material on the new website it's even more valuable.”

Sharon, after completing 5 online courses

“An excellent three courses. I am now much clearer in 3D terms and have much more inspiration for finding ways to learn this stuff. I love your approach to teaching, you deliver your stuff with no fuss and a sense of much-needed humour!”

Liz, after 3 of the online courses

“Wow. I have learned so much and had such fun with it in ways I would have never thought possible. Thank you so much for all your time and enthusiasm and helping me believe in me!”

Robert, after completing the Foundation Certificate

“Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for yesterday. It’s always such a pleasure learning with you. Such an important reminder looking at the real body! Thank you.”

Sam, after a Day in the Dissection Lab

“Caroline teaches innovatively, presenting information in different ways and repeating and reviewing it, so that facts, names and implications stay with you.”

Suzy, after a 3 day in person course

Instructor(s)

Caroline Barrow

CBS Director

Classes have all been developed and are taught by Caroline Barrow, who started College of Body Science in 2001. Through her training in different modalities she discovered an unexpected passion for anatomy and physiology.

‘The more I learned about treating, the more fascinated I became with how the body really works. Then, the more specific my anatomical and physiological knowledge became, the more accurate I was able to be in my treatments and the more I was able to help.'

You may be interested in the body from the perspective of being a therapist and working with others’ bodies, or maybe just because these quite miraculous ‘conscious machines’ we inhabit are worth consideration. Whatever your reason, our classes will inspire and prove over and over how amazing we all are!

Caroline also runs the Upledger Institute UK, teaches CranioSacral Therapy, and has a private therapy practice. Aside from being very busy, she is friendly, funny and passionate about what she does.
