Kinesiology is a holistic modality that evaluates structural, biomechanical, and mental/emotional stressors in the human body.

Originated by Chiropractor Dr. George Joseph Goodheart in 1964, applied Kinesiology uses muscle testing and combines principles from chiropractic, neurology, nutrition, osteopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine to uncover and address imbalances in the body. Dr. Goodheart observed patterns between muscle weakness and different types of body stress.

The main technique applied is muscle testing which involves putting gentle pressure to specific muscles while the patient resists. Practitioners believe that the response of the muscle indicates the functional status of various organs, systems, and energy pathways in the body. This way, practitioners gain real-time functional insight into how well different body systems are working together which help explain persistent fatigue or performance dips.

This holistic method is built on the principle that your physical biochemistry and emotional wellbeing are deeply interconnected and that imbalances in one area can affect the others.

Kinesiology employs muscle monitoring, acupressure, and energy corrections as treatment techniques

HOW KINESIOLOGY HELPS

When our emotional being perceives threat or danger, our physical being embodies the experience and can alter, physiological, biochemical, muscular and postural function to protect oneself from those perceived threats.

The common ailments and disorders that kinesiology can address are:

• Adrenal health/Fatigue
• Allergies
• Autoimmune issues
• Digestive issues (bloating, intolerances, reflux etc)
• Fears and Phobias
• Reproductive health
• Mental health (Anxiety, depression, PTSD)
• Nutritional imbalance
• Food sensitivity
• Sleep disturbance

What can you expect at the end of a kinesiology session?

Every person and every treatment is unique. While the following sensations may arise, it's important to note that not everyone will encounter them, and that's perfectly normal as well:

• Lighter in your energy
• Heightened emotions and fatigue are positive signs that change is underway. Allow any feelings to surface and pass in their own time
• If your body signals a need for rest, listen to it.
• On a physical level, you might temporarily notice new aches and pains as toxins shift. It's important to stay hydrated in the 48 hours following a session.
• A sense of relief is another possible outcome, lasting for several days or weeks until the next underlying issue emerges.
• Long-lasting issues often have multiple layers, so be patient with yourself.
