Kinesiology

Kinesiology means "the study of movement". It is a therapy that uses muscle monitoring (biofeedback) via nerve pathways and the meridian system to look at what may be causing imbalances in the body.

Initial research began in the U.S. in the 1930's and was expanded in the 1960's by chiropractors including techniques derived from Chinese medicine using acupressure and meridian systems. Kinesiology combines this knowledge with modern muscle monitoring techniques to balance the client.

Kinesiology balancing is able to facilitate the natural healing process of the body.

Kinesiology encompasses a vast array of balancing modalities with most of these emphasizing the power of emotions, particularly unresolved negative emotions.

Consider how mental tension is felt as a tight jaw, headaches, tensed shoulders and an upset stomach. This is a purely mental event projected by the mind into the body as a physical sensation.

An unlocking muscle test indicates a disturbed energy flow - be it structural, chemical, nutritional, mental, emotional and spiritual. This stress may manifest in the client as some form of disease, poor nutritional or postural habits, personal trauma or crisis, even as a behavioural issue. Stresses can also carry over from any time in the client's life.

In a Kinesiology balancing session these stresses can be identified and the caused imbalances addressed.

Kinesiology does not treat diseases, nor does it diagnose them. It is however used for

Relief of pain

Stress and confusion

Depressive tendencies

Digestive disorders

Fatigue and tiredness

Back pain

Behaviour problems

Allergies

Nervous disorders

Injuries

General wellbeing

Muscular disorders

Nutritional deficiencies

Emotional problems

It is beneficial to have a series of treatments. Muscle testing is totally painless in a Kinesiology balancing session.

For animals the practitioner usually works with a surrogate. This person gets balanced first.

British Parliament Definition of Kinesiology:

"Kinesiology, literally the study of body movement, encompasses holistic health disciplines which use gentle muscle testing to monitor information about a person's well-being. It originated in the 1960's, combining Western techniques with Eastern wisdom to promote physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Kinesiology identifies factors which block the body's natural healing processes. These dysfunctions are rectified by attention to reflex and acupressure points, the use of specific body movements and nutritional support.

Kinesiology can relieve pain, stress, muscular and nervous disorders, detect allergies and nutritional deficiencies, assist with psychological and learning problems, stimulate energies and release untapped potential."
