Kinesiology

Kinesiology (kin-easy-ology)

I am trained in three styles of Kinesiology - Kinergetics, Touch For Health and Neuro Linguistic Kinesiology. Kinesiology is a powerful technique for energy balancing and assisting the body to heal itself. It is very hard to explain, so I hope the info below, from several sources, helps.

Brief explanation of Kinesiology:
Kinesiology is a simple technique of accessing information from the sub conscious mind using any muscle in the body as an indicator muscle.

Muscle monitoring can be used to establish a simple, effective and convenient communication system with the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind controls motor functions in the body, such as muscle movement, so we can use this "built in" biofeedback mechanism to find out information that would not be available to the conscious mind.

In extremely simple terms, while receiving a treatment or balance, slight pressure is put on a selected muscle and the person is asked to give a slight resistance to the pressure. A question is then asked and the muscle will gently move under the pressure to indicate an answer to the question or to show where an energy block is in the body system. Using this simple technique to communicate with the sub conscious mind, a Kinesiologist can access information related to energy disturbances caused by emotional issues, illness, allergies etc., and how to correct them.

Simply stated, Kinesiology, is a way of “ talking “ to your body system. Your sub conscious is like a computer program that “runs” your body - being very efficiently. It knows everything about you and what is happening in your physical, mental, emotional and energy body system. If you are experiencing pain, stress, disease or any imbalance, Kinesiology is a simple, powerful way of your body’s operating system telling the Kinesiologist what to do to correct the energy fields so that it may work to heal itself. All types of kinesiology have their basis in muscle monitoring, and this testing technique is used to determine whether a situation, activity, memory, food, or substance is causing stress to the body or brain.

Muscle Monitoring accesses information often not available to the conscious mind.

A typical Kinesiology procedure:
Typically, the practitioner records the client’s relevant history (confidentially).
The kinesiology session then continues with the client remaining fully clothed and
lying comfortably face-up on a massage table. Each session can vary with a number
of tests or challenges performed at various times depending on the issue.
• Physical challenge – the practitioner tests neuromuscular integrity
(biofeedback) by asking the patient to position an arm or leg in a certain way, and
then to hold that position while the practitioner exerts gentle pressure against the
limb.
• Chemical challenge – involves testing the patient’s reaction to certain
foods or allergens when small quantities of a suspect item are placed on the body.
The practitioner gauges the reaction by monitoring the energy relationship between
the muscle and its ‘corresponding organ’.
• Mental challenge – the patient thinks about certain things or focuses on
their feelings, while the practitioner performs a specific muscle test. The test may
indicate an energy imbalance or stress that needs attention.
The client sees and experiences first-hand all changes that have been made,
especially when confirmed through the muscle-monitoring process.
How did kinesiology begin?
Kinesiology has its roots in the early sixties with an American Chiropractor, George
Goodheart D.C. Goodheart began to use muscle testing to evaluate muscle function,
posture and general body imbalances. His continued research, which also included
discoveries of corrective measures for the evaluated dysfunctions, led him to
formulate 'Applied Kinesiology', a system he made available to other Chiropractors
and professionals. Soon after, in the early seventies, another Chiropractor, John
Thie D.C., with wonderful humanitarian insight, systemised Kinesiology for the lay
person. This simplification towards a self-help method he called Touch For Health.
