What is Kinesiology?
The philosophy behind Kinesiology is that we are created
perfectly for what we want to achieve in life. However, sometimes
we find ourselves in distress. This is our body's way of indicating
that we are "off track" or not coping in one or
more areas of our life. In other words we need to pay attention
to the signals and find a way to adapt and deal with the situation
appropriately.
When we are presented with dis-ease symptoms it is a message
from the body that we are not living to our full potential
and it is time to address those factors that are limiting
us. To address this imbalance kinesiology is used as a method
of finding the underlying cause or issue.
Kinesiology as we know it today was originally developed
by the American chiropractor Dr John Goodheart in the 1960's
to enhance and improve the quality of his treatments. Since
then it has evolved into many different branches, all based
on the scientific, neurological workings of the body.
DEFINITIONS
The International Association Of Specialised Kinesiologists
(IASK) Definition
"Kinesiology is the science of assessing the energetic
systems of a person for balanced function, by using the change
of physiological response through the muscular system as feedback.
Using this same feedback, Kinesiology identifies any non-invasive
treatment strategy to primarily affect and balance the energetic
systems of a person for the purpose of promoting, restoring
and maintaining health."
It defines "Specialised Kinesiology as:
"Specialised kinesiology (SK) is a term used to describe
the collective activity of all the different types and models
of kinesiology that arise from the diverse applications of
Kinesiology (muscle testing). SK is any type of Kinesiology
that is accredited and recognised according to the categories
created by IASK
Muscle Testing
"Muscle testing is the use of a change of muscle response
to indicate some change in the adaptation systems of a person.
It is the tool used in Kinesiology.
Kinesiology is the organized use of "Muscle Testing"
as a verification tool in a series of tests or protocols to
achieve a particular end result or goal. This is how the tool
of muscle testing is applied.
Adaption is the ability of all the systems in the person
to work together to create changes that suit the desired result
in that particular circumstance. Kinesiology is used to find
where and how a person is unable to adapt appropriately."
