What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology uses a simple muscle test to locate imbalances with in the body. With this information we can prevent onset of symptoms and can get to the root of health problems you may be experiencing today.
Via the muscle test a dialogue is opened with your body and we can begin to detect where imbalances in the body originate.
What is a muscle test?
Light pressure is applied to a muscle or depending on what is being treated, sometimes several. In health, it should hold strong. If the muscle cannot hold strong, it indicates that something mental, chemical, structural and electrical is relevant within that muscle system.
We can then search for strengthening nutrition and use lymphatic techniques that improve nerve and lymphatic supply to help restore muscle strength. This in turn should impact whatever health issue is being addressed.
I use kinesiology for…
Allergy testing
Checking the immune system for active infections
Balancing the digestive system and regulating the bowel
Checking the endocrine system and helping to restore balance in female hormonal health
Checking the strength of muscles and pinpointing which muscles may be involved in injury
Within each balance we can check which supplements/nutrition will help strengthen your body and restore good health
History of Kinesiology
A Chiropractor called Dr Goodheart began to explore what techniques would enhance his chiropractic results. He turned to Chinese Medicine, Osteopathy and Nutritional Therapy and found that structural problems he was treating could often be resolved without using radical chiropractic techniques.
What we can do by using Kinesiology
Endocrine Balance
For hormonal imbalance, metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, sleep and mood.
The endocrine system is made up of glands and tissues that produce and secrete hormones.
These chemical messengers are used by the body to regulate and coordinate vital bodily functions, including growth and development, metabolism, sexual function and reproduction, sleep and mood.
Kinesiologists can muscle test the hormonal glands to ensure they are all in balance. A weak muscle test can indicate that the corresponding gland may not be functioning at an optimal level.
We can use this information to seek the correct nutritional support and use body work techniques to encourage better blood and nerve supply to the corresponding gland. This is a great balance to have if you are trying for a baby or undergoing IVF.
I also use this balance if there has been long term stress or fatigue, to rebalance the adrenal glands.
Ileocecal Valve Balance
For digestive disturbance, but also of value if you have allergies, migraine, brain fog, chronic fatigue.
The Ileocecal valve acts as a doorway between the large intestine and the small intestine. It allows digested food to pass into the large intestine for elimination.
The ICV can become stuck open, allowing foecal matter, containing bacteria to seep from the large intestine, back into the small intestine, where this waste matter will be reabsorbed.
If the ICV is stuck in a closed position, digested food in the small intestine cannot enter the large intestine for elimination. Here it stays and putrifies, and is reabsorbed back into the general circulation.
Neither scenario is ideal, this balance aims to regulate the ileocaecal valve function.
Active and Retained Pathogen Check
for Autoimmune, Fertility Issues and Chronic Fatigue.
Do you have an existing problem, that from time to time acts strangely?
Are you fatigued and tired?
Do you have body aches and pains?
Do you experience digestive disturbance?
Do you have skin rashes or eczema?
Have you had an autoimmune condition diagnosed?
If you experience any of these symptoms, my go to balance is to test and see if you have a retained pathogen, or if there is some aspect of toxicity in your body.
A "pathogen" A pathogen is defined as an organism causing disease to its host,
Pathogens that I test for include:
Bacteria
Parasites
Viruses
Moulds
Toxins I can test for include:
Heavy metals
We use muscle testing to seek for the active pathogen, the muscle will be weak.
Once the relevant pathogen is found we look for the appropriate supplement to clear the body of this substance and will use body techniques to improve blood and nerve supply.
This balance is ideal for those with ME, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia or any autoimmune condition.
