Kinesiology is a
natural health care system which uses gentle muscle testing to evaluate
many functions of the body in the structural, chemical, neurological, and
biochemical realms.
Kinesiological muscle testing does not assess strength, but tests the
integrity of the many factors which determine its response when called
upon to contract.
Kinesiology testing does not diagnose disease. Muscle testing enables
analysis which detects minor functional imbalances. Minor imbalances when
not corrected, accumulate and cause compensations. Compensations compound
each other, lead to functional changes, and give rise to symptoms of
discomfort, pain or maybe allergic reactions. If these warnings are
ignored, disease can follow.
Using massage, nutrition, and contact points, Kinesiology helps with:
emotions and anxieties, specific personal dietary intake and supplements
for nutritional deficiencies, structural imbalances and energy blocks.
Kinesiology balances the whole person, which enhances health and
well-being. Health wards off disease. According to AK theory, the body has
its own 'knowledge' of imbalance which is reflected in muscle dysfunction.
The body functions as a whole because of a network of energy 'circuits',
which are similar to the meridians in all therapies and also incorporate the
nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Body imbalance interrupts the
circuit to a corresponding muscle, which then tests 'weak'.
In an AK consultation, different large muscles are selected and pressed by
the practitioner while the person being tested tries to maintain certain
positions. If the muscle is 'weak' there'll be no resistance; if it's
'strong' it will be easy to keep in position.
Foods, chemicals, herbal and homeopathic remedies can also be tested by
holding them against the body - or even just holding them in the mind -
during testing. The substance or thought is believed to exert an influence
on the body 'circuits', influencing muscle function.
