Kinesiology is the science and art of muscle testing. In the 1960’s a Detroit Chiropractor, Dr. George Goodheart, began combining acupuncture theory with a variety of western discoveries that involved touch reflexes and muscle testing. He discovered that there was a relationship not only between meridians and major organs but also muscles. He called his system Applied Kinesiology. Many other kinesiology systems have developed out of Dr. Goodheart’s Applied Kinesiology resulting in a whole new field of healing. Kinesiology practitioners look beyond symptoms and do not diagnose, treat or prescribe for named diseases. Using manual muscle testing, kinesiologists identify imbalances in the energy systems of the body. Through a series of simple techniques, the energy systems can then be rebalanced to restore harmony and aid the body’s own natural healing process. All manner of issues can be helped with kinesiology techniques from muscle pain or weakness, to emotional stress and distress.
