WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY

Kinesiology is based on the principle that muscles, organs and glands are connected by a network of pathways or meridians.

Disease is said to result when ‘energy channels’ are ‘blocked’ or ‘imbalanced’. Injury, illness, or dietary deficiencies can disrupt a particular pathway. We diagnose these blockages by using a system of manual testing. Certain muscles relate to corresponding body systems and the strength or weakness of a muscle indicates not only the condition of that system but also the total structural, (bio)chemical and mental health of the individual.

We use gentle touch and massage techniques to restore balance so that the body’s natural healing processes can begin. We combine this with nutritional analysis that identifies deficiencies and address emotional stress where required.

What are the origins of the therapy?

The science of muscle testing was first developed by an orthopaedic surgeon, R.W.Lovett, who was working with polio victims in the 1930’s. It was further refined by a chiropractor, Dr. George Goodheart, in the 1960’s who added techniques from both Eastern and Western medicine. Kinesiology, as it stands today, spans the full spectrum of health, from its application in the more physical therapies, such as manipulation and nutrition, to the emotional therapies and more subtle domain of healing and energy work. It is practiced worldwide by doctors, dentists, chiropractors, osteopaths, naturopaths, physiotherapists, nutritionists and educators. It is also used by athletes, performers, school children and businessmen and women. Kinesiology is gentle, non-invasive and holistic. The manual testing provides a unique way of communicating directly with the client’s body, providing an accurate and sensitive diagnostic tool that takes away the guesswork.
