Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (AK) primarily works to assess how the muscular and nervous systems are working with each other and structural, chemical and mental issues in the body are assessed via these systems.
At its heart, AK is based on the principle that the body can self-correct.
The use of muscle testing to evaluate body function was introduced by George H. Goodheart Jr, a chiropractor, in 1964. Goodheart believed that health is composed of structural, chemical and mental factors which must be equally balanced: the ‘triad of health’. He believed that when a person has ill health, at least one of these factors are affected, and often more.
If you think of the symptoms that can occur from structural, chemical and mental imbalances, it will come as no surprise that general health and well-being can often be improved with a more specific approach to figuring out where there is dysfunction in this triad.
AK testing is non-invasive and involves testing the strength of the different muscles in your body.
We also have ways around working with those who cannot be muscle tested directly such as babies, children and those who are chronically weakened.
