How Does Kinesiology Work?
Kinesiology is a non invasive technique whereby the practioner will use muscle testing (by gentle placing their hands on your arms) to access feedback around your specific issues. This technique is called muscle testing. It uses the scientific functioning of the muscles and the Central Nervous system to identify areas of blockage and imbalance. This is achieved by monitoring the change in muscle response.
What does this mean for you?
It means that a suitably qualified and trained facilitator can identify, specific to you, what has caused an imbalance then apply the appropriate techniques to restore balance and harmony. Once we are back on track we can continue living with a better quality of life.
This technique is performed fully clothed while lying, sitting or standing.
The Adaptive Systems Of The Human Body
Essentially everything we need for survival, with the exception of food, air and water is found within the body itself. The human body is self-regulating, self perpetuating and self-healing. This means that in order to survive, our body must maintain homeostasis (balance) by constantly monitoring the internal and external environment. It does this via our nervous system and makes adjustments and changes to suit that environment. The cerebellum, the "computer" in the brain, is responsible for our physical responses and adaptations. Signals are sent between the muscle and brain via the neural pathways. Muscle testing taps into this adaptive system. This gives the practitioner information to facilitate changes within your own healing process.
Using Muscle Testing As A Verification Tool
When we are unable to adapt efficiently the signals between body and brain become unclear. Through muscle testing, this will show up as a change of muscle response, which indicates an inappropriate adaption in the person's life. This is how we use the tool of muscle testing in Specialised Kinesiology.
We Are Mental, Emotional, Physical And Spiritual Beings
A specialised kinesiologist works with physical movement as well as the mental, emotional, physical or energetic systems of a person.
The kinesiology practitioner has a broad base of training and can work in many different ways with a person.
For Example:
- Relationship issues, emotional stress, learning difficulties, physical aches and pains, food intolerances, etc.
- Uses a variety of techniques to effect a positive change: pressure points, visualisations, flower essences, 5 element balances, body polarity, etc.
- Finds the "age of cause" for any issue that a person may have, i.e. the memory cells that may be related to or are maintaining the inability to adapt. This may relate to unresolved childhood issues.
Disease or dis-ease results from blocking the flow of life and symptoms are the body's way of dealing with the blockage. Treating symptoms is like killing the messenger for bringing bad news. By treating symptoms we are suppressing the body's way of expressing that we are unable to adapt. Kinesiology treats the whole person in order to find out what is behind the symptoms.
How Can You Benefit From Kinesiology
Health is not just absence of disease - it is consistent energy, mental clarity, resistance to stress, freedom from infection, emotional stability, good physical stamina, as well as the absence of disease.
Unfortunately with the pace and demands of our modern lifestyle, we no longer give ourselves time to heal properly, on all levels - physical, mental and emotional. When one area of our life is out of sync we compensate in other areas to maintain some sort of balance. Symptoms and disease develop when we exhaust all options.
"Health can be viewed as a cost effective equation-gaining and losing energy. If our environment is sufficiently hostile - poor diet, pollution, viruses, toxins, stress - mentally, physically, and emotionally we exceed our ability to adapt - leading to disease symptoms." Patrick Holford - Optimum Health
REMEMBER - the symptom is NOT the problem. Symptoms are merely "messengers", the body communicating that there are imbalances present.

- Headaches/migraines
- Depression
- Learning difficulties
- Neck/back pain
- Insomnia
- Low blood sugar
