It’s not just for medical students! Cosmetologist too learn in-depth about the anatomy and physiology of the skin, hair, and nails. These parts of the human body are complex and protect the rest of the body from irritants and damage. Because cosmetologists come in contact with these parts of the body, they must understand its construction and can spot potential issues like infections or rashes and know when to not perform services.
Understanding physiology is important to understanding how different products and services can affect how your hair, skin, and nails. Anatomy is used as a frame of reference for where to apply products, direction of massage, building acrylics and determine appropriateness of haircuts/hairstyles and makeup applications.
Having knowledge of anatomy and physiology is crucial for massage and beauty therapists, and these two areas of study are the cornerstones of providing a good treatment to your clients.
The more you learn about how the body functions, the more prowess you will become as a therapist, educator, and an esthetician.
An excellent knowledge of anatomy and physiology will allow you to see beneath your hands and understand the effects of your applied techniques. You will recognise how healthy skin, nails, and tissue feel in contrast to areas that require attention.
As you learn more about anatomy and physiology, you will find yourself automatically correcting your own gait and posture and noticing when clients present with problems you can help them address.
Other than skeletal and muscular system, there is a synergy between many other systems that carry out complex chemical changes to maintain the balance in the skin and body, internally and externally.
Anatomy and physiology training should be included in therapy education. You should know your tendinous tissue from overlapped muscles, and whether a tight muscle needs to be stretched, iced or rested.
Even after passing your massage or beauty course, a refresher course in anatomy and physiology are always available and a wise choice for any serious-minded therapist, or for anyone interested in how the body functions. Developing an interest in how the body works should be a constant pursuit.
Understanding anatomy is also essential to a therapist’s own health and safety. If you experience sore thumbs, tired arms and low-back pain while performing any treatment, then you need to understand how your own muscles can adapt to posture, positions and stances to help relieve these problems.
