Therapies: Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a unique and extraordinary therapy that produces extremely fast results, with most patients feeling a significant improvement in their symptoms within the 1st - 2nd week. Imbalances in the body are detected through muscle testing whilst touching specific body points (similar to acupuncture points) and corrected by tapping with the fingers along the nerve rich area of the spine. Much like Acupuncture it is believed that energy channels (meridians) are linked to internal organs and illness occurs when meridians are blocked.

The nerves connected to the spine, organs and muscles, act much like an electrical circuit connected to the brain, and hence the body acts much like a computer. The brain is the primary control of both branches of the nervous system. Sensory fibres carry messages to the brain where they are processed, like a computer, and the brain in turn, tells the body what to do.

Research has proven that under sufficient stress, the neurones in the brain centres (which control the stressed organ or body part) depolarise. This is comparable to blowing a fuse on an electrical circuit – the message gets to the brain but fails to return.

This leaves the organ or body part running out of control, and hence resulting in disease symptoms. Through muscle testing and stimulating specific body points the neurones can be re-polarised and the brain will regain control of the body and guide it back to health. In energy terms, when the meridian channels become blocked, symptoms appear. Stimulating specific body
points results in the meridians becoming unblocked, resulting in a return to health.

How did Kinesiology originate?

Kinesiology evolved from the mind and insight of Dr. George Goodheart in 1964 who developed Applied Kinesiology (AK). Additional research by Dr. V. Frank developed Total Body Modification (TBM). TBM has been declared as one of the top ten chiropractic techniques by the respected ‘American Chiropractic Journal’. Dr. R. Frank took his father’s research further by developing Natural Healing (NH), an advanced version of TBM and AK, concentrating on optimising the body’s neurological system by treating the root cause of symptoms. He began to explore further the body’s healing potential beyond what AK and TBM had already successfully demonstrated. In this research, he found ways of accessing the healing potential of the body’s bio-computer.

What does Kinesiology treat?

Your complaint may already have been given a ‘label’: the list is infinite, some examples are: Chronic fatigue, ME, digestive disorders (IBS, colitis, Celiac & Crohn’s disease etc.),coughs, flu, aches/ pains, blood sugar imbalance, emotional instability (i.e. depression, low confidence, mood swings, ADHD, bereavement,), hormonal imbalances (thyroid, PMS, etc.) infertility, gallstones, glaucoma, lupus, menstrual problems, endometriosis, back/joint disorders, high/low blood pressure, allergies (environmental, chemical, food) and many more. All these labels do is describe symptoms they do not establish causes. TBM & NH’s philosophy is that ‘you do not always have what you’ve got’, knee problems are usually caused by a gallbladder imbalance, thus the gallbladder needs correcting not the knee. NH runs tests and corrects on all body systems. Allergy clearing is NH’s and TBM’s forte and is the therapy recommended by leading American allergist Dr Doris Rapp MD (best selling author of ‘Is this your child’s world?)

What the patient can expect during
treatment?

The patient remains fully clothed throughout treatment. The body is first asked to show a ‘yes response’, which tends to be a strong muscle and a ‘no response’ which tends to be a weak muscle in one of the arms or legs. A series of muscle tests are then performed in the first consultation where internal imbalances or blockages impairing the patient’s health are discovered and corrected. Simple corrections are made that reset the body’s bio-computer to restore organ function, balance blood pressure, correct cardiac low back, stabilise sugar metabolism, improve water utilisation, normalise hormonal cycles and strengthen immune responses to viruses, bacteria and parasites.

This first consultation switches the body on to respond to the more advanced treatments such as allergy correction in future treatments. During follow-up’s the body’s energy flow is restored, emotional blocks cleared, learning disabilities treated, thinking, concentration, and memory improved, flu is neutralised (including ME), allergies (food, chemical) are corrected and the immune system is strengthened. There is a specific approach to degenerative disease syndromes. Most patients need to be seen weekly for 3-6 weeks. There should be a significant improvement in their health at this time. However, some patients may need further weekly or monthly treatments, whilst most will need only a few a year to maintain optimum health. In some instances the body may go through a ‘Healing Crisis’, where physical symptoms may worsen before they improve, and old symptoms may return temporarily, in order to be eradicated. This is a positive sign that the body is healing. Through muscle testing, the most suitable homoeopathic remedy for the body is acquired. Any homoeopathic treatment is included in the price.
