Clinical Kinesiology (CK) uses muscle testing to identify imbalances, helping to uncover root causes and guide effective, non-invasive treatments.
It was developed by Dr. Alan Beardall DC from the work of Dr. George Goodheart DC. In the 1960’s, George Goodheart developed and expanded the use of traditional muscle testing (used by doctors and neurologists to assess nerve conduction and muscle function) into what became known as Applied Kinesiology.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology encompasses much more than muscle testing. Dr Goodheart discovered that certain muscles were linked to both organs and acupuncture meridians. He found specific acupuncture points which could either strengthen or weaken these muscles. Similarly, he was able to correlate certain foods and nutrients with the meridians and organs. Practitioners were able to access a lot of information through muscle testing that highlighted imbalances in the body.
Dr. Alan Beardall’s system of Clinical Kinesiology similarly identifies primary imbalances and guides the choice of the most effective therapeutic tool for treatment.
My Involvement
I worked and studied Applied Kinesiology for many years, using it with all my clients. However, when I became very ill, it didn’t show me the answers I needed. Why I had so much pain, which no-one, no neurologist, osteopath, chiropractor, physiotherapist, was able to explain.
After extensive consultations with various therapists, I finally met an osteopath trained by Dr. Alan Beardall’s chiropractic colleagues. Clinical Kinesiology gave me the answers I needed to start my journey back to health. I became a patient and a student, dedicating hundreds of hours learning Clinical Kinesiology and using it with my clients.
What Happens In a Treatment?
Before you come and see me, I send you some confidential questionnaires to fill in. These are important because your health history can hold clues to what we might need to explore. Chronic illness often stems from one or more root causes, categorized as Toxicity, Infection, Electromagnetic, Stress/Trauma (T.I.E.S).
I show you how muscle testing works which we will use to assess imbalances in the body. To the best of my ability, I will answer any questions you might have. If you’re already familiar with muscle testing, you will probably experience Clinical Kinesiology as being very different from what you’re used to.
What Are The Treatment Options?
Depending on our findings, treatment options could include Homeopathy or Nutritional Therapy or Frequency Specific Microcurrent or EMDR or ImageWork and/or lifestyle changes. There is no ‘one size fits all’.
Why choose Clinical Kinesiology
I have been using muscle testing for over 20 years and I’ve found it to be invaluable. They say that disease begins as an imbalance in the body. Clinical Kinesiology is a system that allows me to find the imbalances. This is important because it’s easy to ignore the small twinges, aches and pains that are often the start of something bigger.
These are a few of the problems that people bring to the practice:
- Old injuries still causing pain
- Back and Neck Problems
- Digestive Problems
- Hormone Imbalances
- Headaches and Migraines
- PTSD and Trauma related issues
SUMMARY
Clinical Kinesiology is one of many systems of muscle testing. It is not a treatment in itself. It identifies priority issues and determines the most effective treatment that will support your journey back to health.
