Applied Kinesiology is a method or practice used by qualified practitioners in conjunction with their primary therapeutic approach, for example chiropractors will use muscle testing to evaluate and determine a treatment therapy for the client. Functional Kinesiology differs in that it is the primary therapeutic technique. A Functional Kinesiologist has the ability to assess the state of stress continuously throughout the treatment and compare the information or ‘stress’ against other systems or issues in the body. Specific procedures, formats, and corrective techniques can then be used to correct and balance the ‘stress’ collected throughout the session.
