Applied Kinesiology

WHAT IS APPLIED KINESIOLOGY?

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system using basic muscle testing for evaluating areas of dysfunction within the body.The method of AK is primarily concerned with the neuromuscular function and how it relates to the regulation of structure, chemical and mental physiology. It uses the principle that the body is a self-maintaining, self-correcting mechanism.

The Triad of Health:

Health is composed of structure, bio-chemical and mental factors, which must be equally, balanced producing the triad of health. When a person has ill health, at least one of these factors is involved and often two or three. The principle of AK is to analyse and check all three factors and treat any or all that are disrupted.

What can be treated?

1 Low back pain, sciatica
2 Headaches, migraine
3 Disc injuries
4 Acute onset and sports injuries
5 Stress related disorders
Other problems an AK practitioner can treat:
1 Allergies, recurrent ear , nose and throat infections
2 Hormone related disorders
3 Symptoms of PMT and menopause
4 Irritable bowl syndrome
5 Post-viral syndrome
6 Nutritional work

The great advantage of Applied Kinesiology is that the Practitioner no longer needs to rely on chemicals or invasive technology to treat the patient. AK provides a system whereby the Practitioner works with the Patient and the Patient is able to be actively involved in their treatment and has an immediate source of feedback through muscle testing. In this way, the patient is able to adopt a much greater sense of responsibility towards their illness and can have greater awareness of their body’s dysfunction.

AK gives a better insight into body function but it must be emphasised that it is used in conjunction with standard diagnostic tests - X-rays, physical diagnosis, history, blood tests and any other relevant investigations. AK examination enhances standard diagnosis and is enhanced by standard diagnosis.

When visiting an AK practitioner, expect to be involved. They will test for basic mechanical defect; the possible connection of visceral dysfunction ( that is, the function of associated organ or gland); stress levels in the body; and where relevant, cranial and pelvic distortion and toxicity /allergy problems. Treatment will involve manipulative work, guidance in-self treatment and - if necessary - nutritional support, homeopathic remedies and treatment to aid stress-related problems.A

Applied Kinesiology puts into practice the basic concept that the body’s innate wisdom knows what is wrong. The Practitioner need only ask the right questions of the body to find out the nature of the imbalance and witness the body’s response as if to say “ Yes, Thank you. That is what I needed.” And then full health is restored.
