What is Kinesiology?
|
Kinesiology is a natural therapy which combines Western techniques and Eastern wisdom to promote physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.It uses muscle feedback as a form of bio-feedback from the body's central nervous system to monitor energy imbalances in the body and identify causes of stress. Non-invasive techniques based on the principles of acupuncture, homeopathy, nutrition, counselling and chiropractic are then used to correct energy imbalances.
A Kinesiology treatment is known as a balance because the objective of the session is to bring the body's energy systems back into balance so that it is in a better position to heal itself. A 'balance' can be directed towards achieving any personal goal; from overcoming an allergy or anxiety to increasing energy levels or improving relationships. |
HistoryThe word Kinesiology is derived from the original Greek words “kinein” meaning to move and “aesthesis” meaning perception. It is literally the study of muscles and movement. In the late 1960’s an American Chiropractor by the name of Dr George Goodheart DC developed a new concept based on a number of older Chiropractic ideas, adding new information that he had discovered himself. He called this new modality “Applied Kinesiology” – it is the study of how the body works using “muscle testing” as a feedback process to assess muscle and structural imbalance. Goodheart also made the connection between various muscle imbalances and meridians in the Chinese acupuncture system, establishing muscle testing as a means to evaluate not only muscular and structural problems, but also energetic imbalances. It is this connection which not only gives Kinesiology its East-West roots but also indicates that its use extends back thousands of years.
