Kinesiology

What is it?

Kinesiology is a holistic therapy. By holistic we mean that treatment takes into consideration every factor, physical, emotional, psychological, nutritional and spiritual, rather than just the problems that present themselves. The person is seen as a complete whole because physical and emotional problems are interlinked. Kinesiology identifies and relieves the tension which might be preventing the individual from enjoying the best of health.

How does it work?

It makes use of muscle testing techniques to check in detail the body's energy flow. Using kinesiology the practitioner can identify those factors which may be impeding the natural energy flow which are essential for good health. The energy networks, the channels by which energy flows throughout the body, are termed the body's meridian lines and are all important in the kinesiology process.

What takes place and why?

In a kinesiology session gentle massage and touch is used as well as focusing on particular body movements. Changes in lifestyle and nutrition may be suggested. Kinesiology does not diagnose or treat diseases as it lets the body itself show what is needed for better health. If earlier stress or fear has prevented the individual from achieving new skills then kinesiology can help to identify the source of the problem and help to release this stress.

What are the benefits?

Because kinesiology works on stimulating the body's own natural healing processes the following benefits may be seen - physical pain relief, the release of emotional stress, improved posture an co-ordination, increased vitalicy and resistance to iliness, assistance with allergies and nutrition, enhancement of brain and nervous system efficiency, help with self-esteem and phobias, and the identification and achievement of goals.
