Kinesiology

The word comes from the Greek κίνησις kinesis, “movement” (itself from κινεῖν kinein, “to move”), and -λογία -logia, “study”.

In a kinesiology treatment, I will assess the patient’s health by testing their muscles. Any imbalance of physique, chemistry, nutrition or emotion can be detected by the variation of stress resistance in various muscle groups. I then treat the problem by employing methods of massage and acupressure on certain points of the anatomy to readajust the nervous system.

Conventionally the word Kinesiology means the study of motion, in particular the study of how muscles act and coordinate to move the body. However, in the natural health field, the term kinesiology is seen and used in a different way. Here, muscles become monitors of stress and imbalance within the body where ‘Muscle Testing’, the key technique in Kinesiology, is used as an effective and versatile tool for detecting and correcting various imbalances in the body which may relate to stress, nutrition, learning problems, injuries and so on.

Holistic kinesiology aims to improve your health and well being by stimulating your body’s own healing potential. It works on the principle that the body mind and spirit are connected and through the balance of these, full health can be achieved.
