An applied kinesiology examination depends upon knowledge of functional neurology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and biochemistry and is combined with standard physical examination procedures, laboratory findings, x-rays and history taking. The methodology is concerned primarily with neuromuscular function as it relates to the structural, chemical and mental physiologic regulatory mechanisms. Applied Kinesiology, which originated within the chiropractic profession, is an approach to clinical practice, with multidisciplinary applications. Kinesiology is used in the Natural Health Field as an effective and versatile tool to identify and correct stress and imbalance in the body, using muscletesting bio-feedback. Health, Wellbeing and Balance are re-established by diffusing the causes of these problems.
Kinesiology is the fastest growing, and most comprehensive holistic therapy in the world today.
Applied Kinesiology can be divided into two distinct parts. One is an aid to diagnosis. Muscle testing is used help diagnose what is functioning abnormally. The second is testing individual muscles in an accurate manner and determining what effects the relative strength of the muscle when combined with knowledge of the basic mechanics and physiological functioning of the body helps to more accurately diagnose what is going wrong. The process begins with a detailed questioning of the patient to uncover clues as to what may be going on.
