What is Kinesiology?

Professional Kinesiology Services uses the latest techniques to create a balance within the body. The revolutionary difference between Kinesiology and other modalities is that, by incorporating the bodies’ “electrical system” we can balance the structure, nutrition and emotions as demonstrated by your own body, not by someone’s opinion of what needs to occur. One of the amazing functions of the human brain is that it knows the condition of every cell in the body and what it needs. We often try to override that innate wisdom with our logic. However, using Kinesiology techniques we can access the bodies’ innate wisdom to reduce or remove the impediments to the bodies function and let the body heal itself.

The human body has an electrical system which is critical to the proper function and control of each part of a person. Our organ function, muscle movement and control, our senses, basically every part of our body, is dependant on the proper functioning of this system. The meridians are an integral component of the bodies’ electrical system. These meridians are lines of electrical flow within the body. They can be photographed with special photography and located and measured by several other means. There is no visible organ where the meridians flow, but it is through the moisture in the body that the minute, subtle energies flow.

Each meridian acts like an electrical circuit. For example, in your car, when you turn on your headlights, several things come on. The headlights, parking lights, tail lights and interior dash lights are all on the same circuit. The meridians function similarly. In most cases the meridian is named after an organ that receives its electrical supply from that meridian. For example, there is a stomach meridian, a spleen meridian, a heart meridian, etc. Lymph nodes, blood cells, bone tissue and many other items receive their electrical supply from that same meridian. What we are most concerned with is; that there are very specific muscles that receive their electrical supply from that meridian.

The founders of “Applied Kinesiology” discovered that by testing the strength of these individual muscles a practitioner could get real-time feedback from the body. Any imbalances within the meridians are indicated by properly executed muscle testing. The muscle tests that a practitioner uses are designed to specifically isolate a muscle. If a muscle test within a particular meridian indicates by “unlocking”, it indicates that something is lacking within that meridian. There are usually about a half dozen items that are typically found to be lacking or out of balance to correct the energy flow to the muscle and its related meridian. These may include; the bodies’ lymph flow, the blood flow, the electrical flow through the meridian or between meridians is out of balance, the proprioceptor function within a muscle may be functioning incorrectly or several others. All of these items can be corrected by use of the practitioner’s hands.

When a person has a problem of almost any type, whether it is physical, emotional, chemical or nutritional there will be an imbalance within the meridians. Some of the meridians will be higher in energy and some will be lower in energy (relative to each other). Using Kinesiology techniques a practitioner can determine where these imbalances are and use simple touch techniques to remove the imbalances. Once the imbalances are corrected the body is then able to function closer to its optimum and symptoms are usually greatly reduced or leave completely.

A Professional Kinesiology Practitioner works differently from the standard medical practice of naming a diagnosis and then working to treat the symptoms of that diagnosis. As a Professional Kinesiology Practitioners we do not “diagnose”. We simply balance the body through the use of the bodies’ electrical system. We access the electrical system through the muscles that are powered by that system. Once balanced, the muscles work in balance, the organs work in better balance and the emotions are actually more balanced (see emotions). This allows the symptoms to decrease (usually dramatically), or completely fall by the wayside. Basically, we balance the body and let the natural healing abilities of the body function as they were designed to.

A common analogy used to describe PKS is that if your car is running poorly, i.e., hard to start, keeps stalling, running rough and you take it to the repair shop. You get there and ask them to fix it, but tell them; don’t touch the spark plugs, distributor, battery wiring or any other electrical components. The mechanics would be quite hard pressed to fix your car by not having access to the cars electrical system.

Given that almost every human bodily function is controlled or incorporates the bodies’ electrical system, it really opens up a huge component to help us all function closer to our optimum when we make use of that system through Professional Kinesiology Practitioner techniques at PKS.
