Applied Kinesiology

Hocus Pocus? Think Again…

 

"....After my visit to your office I hiked around feeling pretty spunky. I decided to experiment with my first light run last night. Although I felt good that evening I know better than to celebrate until the next day. Usually any morning after a run (or lengthy walk) I limp around until my body warms up. This morning I walked without pain. Wow!"

That's exactly the kind of story we like to hear - and that we do increasingly as we add new treatment methods that help our patients be their best.

We've seen many exciting developments in the healing arts and sciences during the last century. One of the most exciting is our ability to be more precise in measuring the body's functions. Using electronic, mechanical, mental and chemical means, we better understand the interrelationships between the various parts of the body—and in the process, we have learned more and more about sickness, health and wellness.

New Kid on the Block

 

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is not well understood. Though you may not have heard of it, its use is growing among natural health care practitioners. AK investigates body functions using muscle testing.

How is this done?

 

The body's nerve network is complex and overlapping. Nerve and energy patterns show up in the muscles. Weak muscles often reveal improper function in the related areas. Strong muscles can confirm that an area is functioning properly. It's really a very simple concept—but very powerful too!

Amazing Grace!

 

Following a test that indicates weakness, we apply a correction action or adjustment. It's fascinating to watch the muscle being tested suddenly become amazingly strong! Not surprisingly, the reverse can also happen. If the nerve or energy pattern is not adequate to meet the body's demands, you can see it right away.

The Weak Link

 

Interference or challenges to the body's natural energy patterns can make a strong muscle wimpy. AK enables us to find problem areas. If we find improper body function, most of the time we can return it to normal. That's how AK works.

One of a Kind

 

Ask yourself this question: Are you exactly like everyone else? Does your body have exactly the same needs as your neighbor? We all know that no two people are exactly alike. Two of us eat the same amount and type of food but I gain weight
