What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology or muscle testing, or is a technique used
frequently by natural health practitioners such as chiropractors and nutritionists. It is a means of receiving information about an individual using a muscle response.
In classic muscle testing, a practitioner will exert gentle pressure down on the client’s extended arm while the client tries to keep their arm in place. If the arm stays in
place, this is considered a strong response. If the arm cannot withstand the pressure and drops dramatically, this is considered a weak response. Other parts of the body can
also be used to achieve a muscle response test. It is possible for some people to conduct muscle testing on themselves and even to test on themselves for other people.
Muscle testing can be used to see how the body responds to different stimuli such as nutritional supplements, phrases or thoughts, and in many other ways that provide
information about the state of the body or mind and what is needed for healing.
I use muscle testing to put together nutritional programs for my clients and to allow
their bodies to guide me on how to proceed with their overall healing program.
