Clinical Kinesiology uses muscle testing to identify imbalances, helping to uncover root causes and guide effective, non-invasive treatments
Clinical Kinesiology 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 Encompasses
Applied Kinesiology encompasses much more than muscle testing. Dr Goodheart discovered certain muscles were linked to acupuncture meridians, specific acupuncture points could either strengthen or weaken these muscles. Similarly, he linked specific nutrients to the meridians and muscles finding a connection between organs of the body and meridians. Practitioners were now able to access a lot of information through muscle testing.
Dr. Alan Beardall’s muscle testing 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, had managed 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 the next part of my journey back to health. I became a patient and a student, dedicating hundreds of hours learning CK and using it with my clients.
What Happens During a Clinical Kinesiology Session?
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.
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. Chronic illness often stems from one or more root causes, categorized as Toxicity, Infection, Electromagnetic, Stress, or Trauma (T.I.E.S).
What Are The Treatment Options?
Depending on our findings, tailored treatment options specifically designed for you could include various approaches to address your unique needs. Treatments 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 and Muscle Testing
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 on an energetic level and it’s certainly true. We can easily 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:
- Joint Pain
- Back and Neck Pain
- Digestive Problems
- Hormone Imbalances
- Headaches and Migraines
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 to initiate change, supporting your journey back to health.
