Kinesiology (Kin-EASY-ology)
Unveiling the Power of Body Intelligence
Welcome to the world of Kinesiology, where the convergence of traditional Chinese medicine, Western science, and holistic modalities paves the way for unlocking the body's innate intelligence. Developed by industry pioneers, Kinesiology, with its many broad varieties, is a holistic approach dedicated to promoting balance, healing, and personal growth.
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a modality that encompasses various theories and approaches from other modalities including Chiropractics, Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Naturopathy, Nutrition, and Counselling. The integration of these approaches enables a well-educated professional Kinesiology Practitioner to work holistically in a highly sophisticated and effective manner.
In present times, Kinesiologists work with the whole person and with the belief that for health to occur there must be harmony and balance between the emotional, structural, chemical, spiritual, mental, and environmental aspects of life.
The aim therefore is to return the person to a natural state of balance where the body systems can heal themselves and return to a state of good health on all levels.
Traditionally the word kinesiology was derived from the Greek word for movement, 'kinesis', meaning the study of the mechanics of bodily movements, and the suffix ‘ology’ indicating the science or branch of knowledge. It originally developed in Sweden as a form of physiological manual therapy. Henrik Kellgren was a major pioneer in Traditional Kinesiology and Physiotherapy and started several clinics and institutes in Sweden, Germany and England.
Robert M. Lovett, M.D developed a muscle testing method known as ‘manual muscle testing’ in 1915 to determine the amount of strength a muscle or limb had in patients with polio. Then in 1949 Henry and Florence Kendall published their first edition of their classic book named “Muscles: Testing and Function” to ‘interpret existing facts’ and to accurately evaluate, diagnose, and treat neuromuscular disorders.
How Kinesiology Developed
Applied Kinesiology (AK) was founded by Dr Goodheart, an American chiropractor, in 1964 who made a discovery when correcting a patient with a chronic winged scapula. This discovery led to the origin and insertion treatment, the first method developed in AK. George Goodheart, Jr., D.C., and a history of applied kinesiology
Further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were developed by a group of brilliant Doctors of osteopathy and chiropractic.
Two of these include osteopathic practitioner Dr Frank Chapman’s neurolymphatic reflex points that correlated to the Chinese and Japanese Acupressure systems and Dr Terrence Bennett D.C who correlated Neurovascular Reflex points on the head with their strengthening of weakened muscles.Further information can be found Dr Bennett Reflex Points.
In 1972, another one of the researchers involved in the development of Kinesiology, Dr John Thie, published a manual titled ‘Touch for Health’, which was presented as Applied Kinesiology for everyone. It was this Manual that took Kinesiology into the hands of those who wanted to take responsibility for their own health. It was well received by the general public and eventually taught to workshop participants to help family and friends with health conditions.
From here Kinesiology has developed and grown into a remarkable health care modality, with many more techniques researched and studied around the world. One of these researchers includes Dr Bruce Dewe who developed ICPKP (Integrative Core Potentiation Kinesiology), and Dr Charles Krebs who authored ‘A Revolutionary Way of Thinking, and Trevor Savage, author of Learning to Learn - the Switched on way, bring N.O.T and Hyperton-X Sports Kinesiology to Australia.
What is muscle testing used for?
Kinesiologists are trained to use a tool called ‘muscle monitoring’ which is a biofeedback mechanism that offers a direct link into the subconscious mind, bypassing the conscious mind to help understand and address the underlying causes and imbalances within the body. Kinesiologists examine unresolved stress reactions using this biofeedback mechanism in the individual's system on a mental, emotional, and physical level.
Indicator muscle testing or monitoring is an art, and skill that takes years to master. Often the client will not feel what the practitioner feels as they are not trained to feel the subtle messages that the system is offering. When the practitioner asks the body a question, the system responds by indicating that there is stress through a loss of power or a change in the muscle. Each response indicates a piece to the puzzle the client presents with. Once enough pieces of the puzzle have been identified, the practitioner can then ask questions to find appropriate techniques to resolve the problem, rebalance the body, and restore the system back to good health.
Understanding Imbalances and Stress:
The primary aim of any kinesiology 'balance' is to pinpoint the underlying cause of an imbalance, or physical symptom, and subsequently address it. This imbalance could stem from various factors including emotional, nutritional, psychological, structural, energetic, or even spiritual aspects. Imbalances can occur from thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, emotions, trauma, events from particular ages in the past, or themes played out through the clients life
In my world, anything can create anything and anything can undo it! Imbalances in the body can arise from daily stresses or small incidents that have gone unresolved. Our experiences come through the senses, sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. Imagine you have had a situation when you were young that caused a lot of stress, but you were able to push through, not realising the stress was stuck in your body. As an adult you smell or see something that reminds your body of this situation when you were young. Your brain does not know the difference in time, as time is a man made construct. The response in your body and mind is based on survival, which is triggered by sensory perceptions. You react to this in a similar ways to the childhood event, and this causes a cascade of emotions and physical body responses.
If left unaddressed, these stresses may manifest as various conditions including addiction, allergies, mental health challenges, immune system disorders, decreased athletic performance, autoimmune and cardiovascular issues, difficulty with concentration and learning, digestive problems, learning disorders, hormonal imbalances, physical pain, negative beliefs, skin conditions, reproductive health concerns, and weight management challenges.
