Stephen Woodward PKP, CMT, BCD Professional Kinesiology Practitioner, Certified Touch for Health Instructor, and Internationally Certified K-Power® Instructor
Stephen Woodward works as a Professional Kinesiology Practitioner in Goshen, Indiana. He first became
involved with Kinesiology in the mid 1980’s. Steve was being treated for an extreme case of TMJ dysfunction. He had had 8 surgeries to rebuild his jaw joints and face. He was left incapacitated with pain and diagnosed at
Mayo clinic with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and numerous other diagnosis. At that time, he became a patient of Dr. George Goodheart Jr., the founder of “Applied Kinesiology”.

Steve recalls, “Dr. Goodheart balanced the muscles within my face along with other treatments and gave me hope of a normal life. I was so impressed with the work that I began learning all I could about Kinesiology.”

Steve resumed his career as an airline pilot for several years before taking early retirement to pursue a career in Kinesiology.  He is a trained Touch for Health instructor and teaches regularly. In February 2008, he was also
certified as a K-Power instructor. He is one of the few number of Professional Kinesiology Practitioners
in the United States. Steve continues to learn both through his daily experience of working with clients
and attending cutting edge training on the latest discoveries.
 

K-Power® Classes

The K-Power® series has been developed from these teaching modules, created by Dr. and Mrs.
Dewe. These workshops are available for CEs to professionals who want some muscle testing knowledge to apply to their own specialty.

Stress Release Made Easy

This workshop aims to give you an understanding of what stress is and how the body responds to stress. It will show you the warning signs of stress and how to manage your stress. Using the simple yet powerful techniques in this workshop you can also help your family find effective ways to manage stress.

We will show you several different approaches to stress management because no single technique works for everybody all the time. Find what works best for you and those you care for and use these things regularly. This workshop is concerned with sharing ways to increase your stress tolerance, renew your depleted resources for resisting stress and learning new skills for managing stress.

5-Element Fundamentals and Muscle Testing Basics for Manual Therapists

This workshop contains K-Power®’s basic tool-box. The ‘must-have’ skills: using the fundamental concepts of Five-Element theory, the ‘great-8’ muscles; the CV and GV energy reservoirs; six basic balancers - NLs, NEs, NVs, meridians, VRs, nutrition; four fundamental techniques - ESR, origin and insertion, spindles, golgi; circuit locating and how to shift blocked energy using a powerful goal-oriented balancing process.

Five Element Fundamentals and Muscle Testing Basics for Energy Therapists

This workshop contains K-Power®’s basic tool-box. The ‘must-have’ skills: using the fundamental concepts of Five-Element theory, the ‘great-8’ muscles; the CV and GV energy reservoirs; six basic balancers - NEs, NVs, meridians, VRs, nutrition and accumulation points; four fundamental techniques - ESR, origin and insertion, spindles, golgi; circuit locating and how to shift blocked energy using a powerful goal-oriented balancing process.

Mastery of Emotional Stress Release

Frontal/occipital holding is a powerful kinesiology stress release technique. Some Kinesiologists claim this alone relieves mental and emotional stress.

Go beyond the F/O hold with K-Power® Mastery of Emotional Stress Release. Develop further understanding and skills to assist clients to find new resources, see new possibilities, use their senses and intuition, state what they are feeling, want and are willing to do to achieve this, with or without the use of imagery, symbolic encapsulation and picture frame, active listening or role play. Assist clients defuse stress related to (but not limited to) challenges to their authority and terminating relationships and use the hypothesis of an older, wiser self.

A total of 20 emotional stress defusion techniques packaged in a two-day, hands-on, interpersonal, experiential intensive that will make a positive difference in the way you work with clients.

Overcoming Co-Dependency

Co-dependency is sometimes called ‘relationship addiction’ because people with co-dependency tend to form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive. It is both an emotional and a behavioral condition which affects an individual’s ability to have healthy, mutually satisfying relationships.

Those who have completed this workshop will be able to recognize the basic characteristics of co-dependency, work with definitions to bring awareness and teach clients the basics of mental and emotional self care; assist clients to complete a co-dependency questionnaire and administer a co-dependency quiz; assist clients in exploring early childhood issues and their relationship to current destructive behavior patterns; help clients get in touch with feelings that have been buried during childhood and use kinesiology techniques to defuse the past from the present to allow them to experience their full range of feelings again and with new skills reconstruct healthy personal and family dynamics.

Core Muscles and Techniques

When the core muscles are weak or not in balance a common side effect is back pain. People in the gym who work their rectus abdominis with crunches but fail to strengthen their transverse abdominals commonly experience lower back pain. Back pain is common because so many muscles have to contract and relax to allow a person to stand and move.

The main objective of this workshop is to learn three prime techniques that you can apply to every muscle you test in the future. As well as developing skill and understanding in evaluating and balancing muscle energy imbalances in the 13 core muscles of the torso, you will learn core techniques like muscle stretch response, sustained muscle use, hidden muscle failure. Having learned the 13 core muscles and applied the three core techniques, you will learn the More Mode, surrogate muscles, the circuit retaining mode, the important principle of muscle reactivity and how to correct reactive muscles.

The Shoulder/Arm Protocol

Clients rarely ask for help because of ‘imbalances in their muscle energy’ - rather they come complaining of pain, restricted movement, weakness, or a combination of these. The condition may or may not be the result of an injury. Frequently they will have seen another practitioner who has given them anti-inflammatory medication, and sent them for physiotherapy or massage. The person may have had a poorer response to the treatment than they expected and now is shopping around for an alternative.

The purpose of this workshop is to develop skill and understanding in evaluating and balancing muscle energy imbalances in the 22 muscles of the shoulder girdle. We will not only work with the physical but with the mental, emotional and metaphysical aspects of shoulder problems. The expressions that clients use such as, “I’m shouldering my burdens” can be very significant clues to client management.

The Elbow, Wrist and Hand Protocol

The purpose of this workshop is to develop skill and understanding in evaluating and balancing muscle energy imbalances in the elbow, wrist and hand regions. There are so many people today suffering with occupationally related disorders in these areas.

Clients come complaining of pain, restricted movement, weakness, or a combination of these. The condition may or may not be the result of an injury. Frequently they will have seen another practitioner who has given them anti-inflammatory medication, and sent them for physiotherapy or massage. The person may have had a poorer response to the treatment than they expected and now is shopping around for an alternative.

In this workshop, we will not only work with the physical but with the mental, emotional and metaphysical aspects of elbow, wrist and hand problems. The expressions that clients use such as, “I’m up to my elbows in...” can be very significant clues to client management.

The Hip/Thigh Protocol

Athletes often talk of strained or pulled ‘quads and hams’ . Such conditions involve the tearing of these muscles or their tendons and occur mainly in athletes who do not warm up properly. They will often say it didn’t really hurt at first but a few hours later the pain intensified. Frequently they will have seen another practitioner who has given them anti-inflammatory medication, and sent them for physiotherapy or massage. They may have had a poorer response to the treatment than they expected and are now seeking an alternative.

In this workshop you will develop skill and understanding in evaluating and balancing muscle energy imbalances in the hip and thigh regions. With K-Power® the usual 1-3 weeks of rest followed by stretching can be dramatically reduced. We will not only work with the physical but with the mental, emotional and metaphysical aspects of hip and thigh problems. The expressions that clients use such as, “...is being a pain in the butt over...” can be significant clues to client management.

The Knee, Ankle and Foot Protocol

The knee joint is an unstable, complex joint. Because there is no deep depression on the top of the tibia it is relatively easy for the tibia to slip out of the normal articular position. Shin splints is a colloquial term. People complaining of ‘shinsplints’ may have been given this ‘diagnosis’ for a range of conditions including tibial fracture, muscle tears and inflammation of the shin fascia. The energy model of K-Power® avoids this confusion. We balance the energy in this situation by using our reflex points and by attending to the emotions involved.

Rupture of the Achilles tendon is another common athletic injury. Complete rupture is usually treated with surgery followed by a long recovery period. By using K-Power® reflexes and attending to the emotional component of the injury (both before and after surgery) recovery time can be significantly reduced. In Achilles tendonitis the tendon becomes inflamed and painful and can take weeks to settle. Chronic problems like these may resolve with K-Power®.

Your Face is Talking To Me

Personology explains how our genes express themselves in our structure and personality. It relates the human physical structure (primarily the face) to the basic behavioral functioning process and the personality. The major understanding is that one’s structure predisposes function as is seen throughout the animal kingdom.

Personology is not about judging the looks or behaviors of others but rather understanding the uniqueness of everyone’s personality and its expression. Personology is a science, based on the inherited traits handed down from our parents and ancestors, that reveals how the structure of our bodies exerts a powerful influence on our behavior.

In this workshop you will use muscle testing to identify the priority trait (therefore instinctual behavior) causing stress in relation to life situations. By clearing the stress at the causal age, you will have more choice in creating the behaviors you desire and living out the fullness of your genetic potential.

Your Face is Talking Again

Structure predisposes or inclines function throughout the animal and bird kingdoms. Compare a race horse to a Clydesdale work horse. They are both created differently to function differently. Put them in a race and we would know which would win. Each functions in a different yet predictable way.

The same pattern exists for humans. Personologists look at physical structure and determine how it indicates a behavior pattern. Personology is a science, based on the inherited traits handed down from our parents and ancestors, that reveals how the structure of our bodies exerts a powerful influence on our behavior.

In this workshop we will use muscle testing to identify 10 more traits (each with instinctual behaviors) that may cause stress in relation to life situations. By clearing the stress at the causal age, you will have more choice in creating the behaviors you desire and living out the fullness of your genetic potential.
