About Kinesiology

Kinesiology was originally developed by an American chiropractor called George Goodheart.  He found that by testing muscles before and after he made a correction he achieved better results for his patients.  As time progressed he was able to make a connection between various muscles and acupuncture meridians.  By testing these muscles the kinesiologist can get a picture of what is happening in your meridian system and how this is affecting you.  But, equally, the muscle testing can also show what has affected the meridians in the first place and indicate what is the best way to deal with that stress, be it emotional, physical, environmental, nutritional or mental.

So, kinesiology is a blend of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and western techniques that allow a kinesiologist to treat you in a truly holistic manner.  Each person’s session is unique to them. 

Kinesiology uses a range of gentle yet extremely powerful techniques. These restore and maintain health and well-being.  You can function better on all levels. Kinesiology also allows the kinesiologist to draw on other healing techniques and modalities and integrate them into the session where appropriate and indicated by the muscle response.

Some people consider kinesiology to be one of the best methods to use to uncover and help the underlying causes of health problems that are difficult to find by any other means.
