Kinesiology
Kinesiology was originally developed by an American chiropractor called George Goodheart. He found that by testing muscles before and after he made a correction he achieved better results for his patients. By testing the muscles, the Kinesiologist can get a picture of what is happening in your meridian system and how this is affecting you. But, equally, the muscle testing can also show what has affected the meridians in the first place and indicate what is the best way to deal with that stress, be it emotional, physical, environmental, nutritional or mental.
So, kinesiology is a blend of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and western techniques that allow a Kinesiologist to treat you in a truly holistic manner. Each person’s session is unique to them. Kinesiology can establish connections between imbalances and can establish which is the priority issue to be dealt with and what is the most effective treatment. Kinesiology also allows the Kinesiologist to draw on other healing techniques and modalities and integrate them into the session where appropriate and indicated by the muscle response.
There are several types of Kinesiology that have been developed. These are Touch For Health, Classical Kinesiology, Creative Kinesiology, Educational Kinesiology, Health Kinesiology, Holistic Kinesiology, Neuroenergentic Kinesiology, Optimum Health Balance, Progressive Kinesiology, Three In One Concepts and Wellness Kinesiology. I use Touch for Health and Creative Kinesiology (also called Perceptual Body Work) for my Holistic Balance. Please see links for more information.
