Kinesiology

  
kinesiology 

Your body has an innate ability to heal. It is always talking to you and always striving to care for itself. Take a moment to think about all the work the body does to achieve homeostasis (balance) without a single conscious thought from you. It really is incredible. Sometimes the body needs assistance to restore its energy flow, as well as to reactivate this innate healing ability we all have within us. This is where complementary therapies, including kinesiology, can help.

kinesiology is energy medicine

Kinesiology looks beyond the symptoms and does not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe. It’s about balancing energy within your body. And in restoring energy flow, it activates your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive. Kinesiology can help resolve stress on a structural, mental, biochemical and emotional level. It focuses on you as a whole – mind, body and spirit.

Kinesiology combines muscle-testing (to “talk” to the body) with principles of Chinese Medicine (the meridian system) to assess the body’s energy flow and function, and to establish the body’s priority healing needs. A range of gentle techniques (including rubbing, holding or tapping acupressure points; neuro-vascular, neuro-emotional and neuro-lymphatic reflex points, tracing meridians, and emotional stress release) are used to correct imbalances in the body, as well as draw your awareness to the underlying emotional component of the problem that needs healing.

how muscle testing works 

Manual muscle testing involves placing a muscle in a specific position and applying light pressure to reveal the muscle’s response. The kinesiologist is looking for a locked or unlocked muscle. This gentle muscle testing is used to detect and correct energy imbalances in the body. The muscles correspond with particular organs and meridians in the body, and each meridian has emotional states associated.

Muscle testing is a way to “talk” to the body and to gather information about the imbalances (stresses) between mind and body and the underlying emotional component, and bring this information to your awareness (the conscious mind). Talking about the emotional aspect related to the problem brings it into conscious awareness and helps to more easily integrate the stress/imbalance.

how kinesiology can help you 
Kinesiology aims to help you activate your potential, defuse stress, to release traumas of the past that are holding you back today and help you get clear on what your heart desires and what you want most in your life. 

Kinesiology is about creating high levels of wellness and vitality – for you to be well and thrive on a physical, emotional, mental and social level. For these reasons, kinesiology can help with so many aspects of day-to-day life: sleep disturbances, stress (on an emotional, structural or biochemical level), grief, anxiety, clarity, self-confidence, goal-setting, relationships, creating abundance, creativity, decision-making, pain management, learning difficulties, fatigue, nutrition, minor injuries, general wellbeing and more.

what to expect from your session

The aim of your kinesiology session is to bring your body back into balance. Your initial session will begin with filling out a client history form and discussing your health history, concerns and goals with your practitioner.

From here, we will create a specific goal for the balance. This is a unique goal that we are balancing your body energy to. It could be related to work, home, finances, relationships, health, self-esteem or any specific issue. An example could be “I am free to be me” or "I am free to feel and express my emotions" or “I now sleep soundly each night” or "I now choose foods that nourish my body." 

While lying on a massage table fully-clothed, your kinesiologist will use muscle testing to determine where there are present or past imbalances (stress) in your energetic system related to achieving your goal. Gentle techniques are used to correct this, and the process involves looking at the underlying emotional aspects of your particular situation. Most clients report feeling lighter, more energised and having clarity after their balance, but it can take days, weeks or longer to fully integrate the healing.

Allow 90-120 minutes for your initial kinesiology session, and 60-75 minutes for any follow-up appointments. 

The human body is a network of energy systems.
