Kinesiology was first discovered in the 1960’s by Chiropractor Dr George Goodheart. He found that we can use various muscles & techniques to identify areas of imbalance in the body & specifically what is needed to correct the imbalance.
Using gentle muscle testing, we can ‘talk’ to your body to identify which systems of the body require support to heal your symptoms & pain.
With Kinesiology testing, the majority of muscles we use are in the arms & legs, however, within my appointments I will ask you to hold your arm in a particular position whilst I apply gentle pressure to identify what your body is telling us & what it needs to help you.
It really is amazing to experience this therapy and you leave with more knowledge & understanding of your symptoms, and how you can help your body maintain balance naturally & effectively!
Can you test for food sensitivities and intolerances?
Yes, I am qualified by TASK (The Association of Systematic Kinesiology) to practice Systematic Kinesiology which includes the ability to identify foods which your body is sensitive/intolerant to.
Within every Kinesiology appointment, I will use gentle muscle testing to identify if any food sensitivities are affecting your health & what your digestive system needs to heal.
I also encourage you to bring to your appointment your existing supplements that you may be taking, as we can also identify if these are needed by, or even helping your body. Sometimes that can be detrimental to your health too, so it’s good to understand what your body genuinely needs!
As more and more people are finding certain foods may be linked to their symptoms (e.g. gluten, dairy, refined sugar), there is a growing demand for advice and support about dietary changes and nutritional requirements to help specific health conditions, food sensitivities and intolerances.
I am passionate about healthy eating and how different nutrients within our food can affect our health, both positively and negatively.
How do you test for food sensitivities?
For those visiting me in-person, you will be asked to lay down on a therapy couch, and hold your arm in a certain position whilst I apply gentle pressure. This technique provides me with feedback direct from your body which helps me to identify which foods are affecting your health.
Testing on Children: Children as young as Age 5 can often hold their arm in the position required for me to test them directly, in the same way as I do for adults. For younger children and babies, I mostly use my own body as a surrogate for testing their body.
How does Kinesiology work via Zoom?
Kinesiology testing via Zoom – I will use my own body as proxy for you & explain the results as we progress through the testing. This is just as accurate as testing you in-person.
