Kinesiology

Classical Kinesiology [pronounced kin-easy-ology] is a natural health therapy that can be truly holistic in its ability to address and re-balance all the aspects of the human being that contribute to health and well-being.
Traditionally Kinesiology refers to the study of muscles and movement in the body and would be used in this context by physiotherapists, sports coaches etc.
However, in the natural health field the term 'kinesiology' is seen and used in a wider context. Muscles are perceived as indicators or monitors of stress and imbalance within the body. Hence 'Muscle Testing' is used to detect and correct those imbalances, thus addressing the underlying causes of disease or malfunction in the body.
Classical Kinesiology is a therapy that brings together the principles of traditional Chinese acupuncture meridians and the knowledge of Western muscle testing, anatomy and physiology, and nutrition.
Over the years, many branches of Kinesiology have been developed, each offering their own view of the original concept, which was Applied Kinesiology (AK). Classical Kinesiology is based on AK and offers a rounded and orthodox approach to the art of healing using kinesiology. Qualified therapists will have gone through an academically orientated training programme that would include extensive anatomy and physiology and clinical medicine. They are likely to use a nutritional approach to the therapy, as well as working with the acupuncture meridian system and other techniques to balance emotional stresses or musculo-skeletal problems.
