Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology is a noninvasive system
that evaluates structural, chemical and mental
aspects of health using manual muscle testing
in conjunction with other standard methods
of diagnosis.
Muscle testing is used to help diagnose what
is functioning abnormally. This could be
a problem with the nervous system, lymphatic
drainage, the vascular supply to a muscle
or organ, a nutritional excess or deficiency,
allergic reactions, toxic overloads, meridian
imbalances or a host of other problems. Testing
individual muscles in an accurate manner
and determining what affects the relative
strength of the muscle when combined with
knowledge of the basic mechanics and physiological
functioning of the body, helps to more accurately
diagnose the cause of what is going wrong.
This powerful methodology enhances the skilled
doctor's examination process and helps rule
out other possible causes of the persons'
health problems.
The board certified Applied Kinesiologist
will ask detailed questions as well as conduct
a thorough examination evaluating possible
chemical imbalances, structural imbalances
or mental stress in the system. The information
is then correlated to establish therapies
directed at correcting these imbalances.
Treatments may involve specific joint adjustments,
various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques,
meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical
nutrition, dietary management, counseling
skills, evaluating environmental irritants
and various reflex procedures.
Applied Kinesiology borrows from many different
disciplines and through the use of accurate,
scientific muscle testing, in addition to
the basic knowledge of the practitioner,
helps direct the care to exactly what the
patient's needs are.
The preventive potential of AK is based on
the fact that muscle testing can pick up
sub-clinical imbalances which are imposing
a strain on the persona, which if ignored,
may well accumulate and eventually cause
serious problems if not resolved.
The body of information now known as Applied
Kinesiology has been developed by physicians.
The techniques have been clinically tested
for reproducibility. Those who have invested
the time and the money to learn the art/science
of muscle testing properly, have a tool that
is without peer in enabling unbiased and
non-intrusive assessments to be made of almost
any aspect of life's functions and dysfunctions
with the exception of disease.
After hundreds of hours of practice in classroom
workshops and in clinical practice, Kinesiologists
have learned to avoid mentally interfering
with the test. They have kept their own opinions
out of the equation as much as is possible.
They have refined their ability to "listen"
with great attention to the response of the
muscle fibers being properly and sensitively
tested. They also know how to help the client
keep an open mind as to the result of any
test.
