It was weak. Then I held a bottle of pills and was told I needed them. This is one of the abuses of muscle testing. 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.
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 second part of Applied Kinesiology involves the treatment phase. From nutrition to chiropractic manipulation to osteopathic cranial techniques to acupuncture - meridian therapies to myofascial techniques to nervous system coordination procedures to some of the latest theories in medicine involving control of the vascular and nervous system may be employed to balance the malfunction found in the patient. Applied Kinesiology borrows from many different disciplines and through the use of accurate, scientific muscle testing, in addition to the basic knowledge of the practitioner, helps direct the care to exactly what the patient's needs are instead of what the practitioner does. There are organized courses in Applied Kinesiology being taught in Europe, Canada, the United States and Australia.
