What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology (pronounced kin-easy-ology) was developed by Dr. George Goodheart in 1964. It is a way of identifying any imbalances a person has by monitoring their ability to hold their muscles against light pressure. Each muscle is related to an organ, and also to an energy pathway called a meridian.
Finding imbalances
Together the muscle, organ and meridian form a ‘circuit’. If there are chemical, emotional, structural or energetic stresses affecting the circuit, the muscle tested will feel ‘spongy’, indicating an imbalance.
Once an imbalance is found the Kinesiologist uses the muscle test again to get feedback from the person’s body about what factors are aggravating the imbalance, and what will help to rebalance it.
Discovering what’s involved and what will help
Each time a relevant factor is introduced the muscle’s response changes, a bit like a switch. So imagine a spongy muscle as being ‘off’; if the person then thinks of an emotional stress and the muscle is suddenly able to hold against the pressure, i.e. it switches ‘on’, that indicates that particular stress is involved in that imbalance.
Similarity, if a particular nutrient, when placed in the mouth, causes the muscle to switch ‘on’, we know it will be helpful. The same process can be used to find related structural problems, and energetic factors that are involved.
Truly holistic treatment
Based on this feedback; the Kinesiologist and client can discover exactly what is involved in the imbalance and devise a treatment plan.
This treatment plan 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 indicating what it needs to return to health.
Enjoy improved health
You do not have to be a health nut, a food freak, or an exercise buff to take control of your life and to enjoy improved health and well-being.
Kinesiology practitioners are dedicated in prevention as well as alleviating the condition. They are able to help clients much more effectively if each person commits to self-help and improving their own health regime.
