The word 'kinesiology' comes from the Greek work kineses, which means motion. Kinesiology is a system of diagnosis and treatment that effectively asks your body ‘what it wants’ by combining muscle testing with the principles of chinese medicine, to assess energy and body function. Muscle testing is the main method of assessment which is what distinguishes this type of treatment from other therapies.
There are a number of different ways of using muscle testing in assessment:-
As a series of specific muscles tests
Indicator muscle test - this uses a single muscle to get a non-verbal response to a stimulus
Kinesiology can be used successfully on people of all ages. The responses to these tests help to determine the type of imbalances and blocks that are affecting you and are creating the problems that you are experiencing. The root cause may be structural, chemical or emotional. But once your practitioner has tested you and your body has ‘told’ them the problem, they can help you to correct it.
