Kinesiology is a holistic system of natural health care which uses muscle monitoring to communicate directly with the body. It can assess a person's response to any stimulus. It draws on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and can evaluate body function through the muscle-meridian relationship. It can also establish connections between imbalances, put them in order of priority and determine the most effective treatment. Kinesiology applies a wide range of gentle yet powerful techniques. These restore balance and create and sustain health, well-being and more effective functioning. Kinesiology also draws on and integrates other therapies and healing modalities and can be used as an adjunct to any therapy. Kinesiology is renowned for being able to uncover and help the underlying causes of health problems that are difficult to find by any other means. MUSCLE MONITORING (TESTING) The principal tool of kinesiology is muscle monitoring. The Kinesiologist applies pressure to a contracted muscle and the client is asked to match or resist that pressure. The Kinesiologist evaluates the functioning of the muscle in response to a specific stimulus. The response of the muscle, whether it is able to remain in contraction or unlocks, gives the Kinesiologist feedback. This feedback is used to determine what the priority stresses are and the best way to address them. WHO CAN BENEFIT? Everyone! People of all ages - whatever their level of fitness or health - can benefit, including: Even healthy people will benefit from regular kinesiology treatments. Babies and people who cannot be muscle tested directly can be tested through a surrogate. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Kinesiology restores the whole system to balance, facilitating the self-healing process. It can, for example: FOOD SENSITIVITY AND ALLERGY TESTING Kinesiology is probably best known for its’ role in allergy testing. Here the practitioner assesses the body’s sensitivity to particular foods, airborne allergens and chemicals by monitoring muscle response when test vials of allergens are placed against acupuncture points. The advantages of this form of allergy testing is that Kinesiology is non-invasive, the test results are immediate, you can see what your sensitivities are for yourself and it is suitable for children and even babies. TREATING THE CAUSE OF ILL HEALTH, NOT THE SYMPTOMS Muscle monitoring, done by a fully trained kinesiologist, can access information regarding the underlying causes of a person's health problems and identify the most approprate treatment. For example, while identifying and restricting problem foods in the diet can improve health, treating the cause of the problem makes a permanent improvement to your health. Food sensitivity, for example, can be caused by impaired digestion, dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, lowered immunity, candida infection, parasites, emotional stresses etc. Classical kinesiologist, Jane Phillips, uses muscle testing to design the most effective treatment plan to improve health. Treatment may include a combination of some of the following techniques depending on your health problem and preferences: - CONSULTATIONS Appointments with Jane Phillips can be made by calling TRAINING If you are interested in learning kinesiology, click on the Touch for Health Workshops and the TFH Metaphors button. |
