Kinesiology
is the use of muscle testing to identify imbalances in the body allowing
your therapist to establish the body's priority healing needs.Kinesiology,
therefore, may be understood as a system of natural health care which
combines muscle monitoring with the principles of Chinese medicine to
assess energy and body function, applying a range of gentle yet powerful
healing techniques to improve health, wellbeing and vitality. A fundamental
premise of Kinesiology is that the body has innate healing energy and
is at all times doing its best to care for itself, but that sometimes
it needs to be helped into a better position to achieve this care.
What happens during a treatment?
Your kinesiologist will first take a medical and lifestyle history. You
can remain fully clothed in a Kinesiology session. The Kinesiologist will
places your arms, legs or head into specific positions and then apply
a light pressure. The quality of response to this pressure determines
whether or not there is an imbalance in the muscle-organ-meridian circuit.
Based on feedback from the muscle test, you and the Kinesiologist can
discover exactly what is involved in your imbalances and devise a treatment
plan. It may include nutritional supplements, various emotional stress
release techniques, Bach Flower remedies, acupressure, gentle structural
realignment, chakra balancing, light touch, firm reflex massage, suggested
lifestyle changes and more. The exact treatment you receive depends on
the feedback your body gives through the muscle test about what it needs
to return to health.
