Kinesiology - What is it?

History of Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the marriage between the Acupuncture system and the system and methods of Chiropractic and was the brainchild of Dr George Goodheart DC from New York. He gathered a group of exceptional associates who found it helped reduce the need for the needle and skeletal adjustment. This group went on to teach and further research this wonderful health modality known as Applied Kinesiology. One of these associates was Dr John Thie DC who in the early 1970's put together Touch For Health Kinesiology.

In recent years Kinesiology has developed and improved into an outstanding health care system where it uses the body's own bio-computer (muscle-testing) to provide feedback to the practitioner which reveals an accurate picture of the problem at hand.

Kinesiology is practised in hundreds of countries world wide as an independent modality and is complementary to both Western medicine and natural medicine alike.

What Is It, and What Can It Do For Me?

Kinesiology is a technique that is effective at rebalancing the body so that it can return to excellent health with energy and emotional strength. This is achieved through muscle testing which enables the practitioner to interpret the information your body is indicating.

The body is like a piece of electrical equipment that is controlled by a complex computer, the brain. When a muscle is 'out of balance' the electrical signal goes weak. This means you will not be able to hold your arm or leg in a particular position when the muscle is tested.

A few simple corrections after testing will re-establish the electrical signal allowing the muscle to test strong. Once the body is in balance it is able to heal itself. This technique has proven useful for painful injuries, toxins, allergies, pain, immune problems, stress and emotional issues etc.etc.

Various Methods & Styles

Kinesiology is the general name given to a health care modality, which uses the muscles as a keyboard to the body's bio-computer. Within Kinesiology there is a number of systems which utilize this wonderful mechanism. Each one uses the "triangle of health" (physical, mind, chemical) as its model but specialize in various areas and utilize different skills and techniques.

Among the Kinesiology systems are -

• N.O.T. - Neural Organization Technique,
• Hyperton-X - Muscle Resetting for weak muscles or too tight muscles,
• Touch for Health —Reflex Points, Lymphatic Toxin Clearing,
• Postural Balancing
• Integrative Kinesiology
• Nutrition & Supplement Testing

The modalities of Kinesiology and Nutrition, are used to cover all body systems e.g. Immune system, Endocrine system, Circulatory System etc etc.

In simple terms, the body is readjusting, the muscles reset, & the brain accepts the adjustment.

Needles and Manipulation are not used.

Treatment Protocol

Everyone is treated as an individual.

Everyone is different & has their own needs, which is of prime consideration. Confidentiality is strictly adhered to.

Initial Consultation : A case history is taken with a thorough explanation of what is going on for the client and an idea of the healing process to be expected. All body systems are thoroughly checked and balanced both physically and emotionally.

Follow Up Consultations : Kinesiology is an amazingly efficient modality and immediate improvement may be noticed after just one treatment. It may require a number of consultations especially when you have multiple issues or long-standing severe illness.

Those people who do not have extremely severe challenges usually can progress from 3-5 consultations to Quarterly Consultations to keep their body in good balance. You need to 'service yourself', so that you can stay happy & healthy. Sometimes people with very severe conditions need constant monthly to six weekly treatments for sometime before they can go to Quarterly checks .

How can Kinesiology, Primary Nutrition & Supplementation Help

Kinesiology & Nutrition are used in the treatment of a wide range of physical & emotional problems.
