Kinesiology (Clinical & Applied Kinesiology)

Kinesiology has two branches: Clinical Kinesiology and Applied Kinesiology.

Applied Kinesiology uses muscle tests to test the response of the nervous system to a sensory challenge. This may be used for physical issues such as painful squat but it can also be used to reduce threat signals from tasks related to vision, balance and even thoughts and emotions. Clinical Kinesiology uses the patient’s subconscious to guide what the treatment process.

What Kinesiology looks like

A muscle test will be used to determine the how the nervous system perceives a task (eg a squat, or running task), generally either at the shoulder or hip. This test will be reused a number of times to determine what tasks create a threat response. Between these tests there will be a number of tasks and corrections used to calm the nervous system and integrate this sense of calmness with previous tasks. As more of these tasks are integrated there will be new sensations in the body and generally an improvement in your ability to complete a painful task or an ease of performing said tasks.
