Kinesiology – £55.00

Kinesiology is a therapy that uses manual muscle testing to determine where the client may have imbalances in their system, and what the client needs in order to restore balance and wellbeing. The roots of kinesiology can be traced back to the American chiropractor George G. Goodheart who, in 1964, identified that the evaluation of normal and abnormal body function could be carried out by muscle testing.

How does it work?

The basic concept behind Kinesiology is the fact that in order for the body to function correctly and maintain health there should be balance between all the body systems.

In Kinesiology terms this is related to the Mental, Physical, Chemical components of the body as well as the energy.

Kinesiology, which means “the study of movement” was discovered by chiropractor George Goodheart in the early sixties. He learned to interpret the results that he found when he exerted pressure on a limb to test how a specific muscle was working.

Goodheart also found that if a muscle wasn’t as strong as the other muscles, he could rub treatment points on the body that acted like switches and turned the muscle back on to full strength. He realised that if he stimulated certain acupuncture meridians, it would also restore a muscle’s strength and that each muscle shared a circuit with a meridian and an organ. This discovery allowed him get to the root of why some people’s hip, back or knee pain was not improving, or why they needed regular adjustments because treatment would not hold. He found that he was able to identify and correct muscle malfunctions by finding the cause of their distress. This might be a nutritional imbalance, an emotional stress, or an acupuncture meridian imbalance. He could then apply the best treatment for his patient’s underlying problems. Treatments worked really well and ‘held’ a lot longer. Since Dr Goodheart’s original discoveries, other practitioners have developed kinesiology into the amazing diagnostic tool it is today.

Kinesiology uses a range of gentle yet extremely powerful techniques. These restore and maintain health and well-being. You can function better on all levels. Kinesiology also allows the kinesiologist to draw on other healing techniques and modalities and integrate them into the session where appropriate and indicated by the muscle response.

If we can understand that the body has an innate ability to heal itself then we can assume that it is always trying to care for itself. Sometimes however through an imbalance due to stress (mental), a food intolerance that has been ‘undiagnosed’ (Chemical) or a physical injury (physical) then the body will eventually become unbalanced and that is where Kinesiology can help.

By using different muscles that are related to different energy systems (based on Chinese medicine) we can test where and what the imbalance is. It acts as a natural bio-feedback system where the muscles are the indicators.

Once we have established the reason for the imbalance then we can correct it by various techniques such as massage, colour, bach flower remedies, and sound.

I’ve been to see Julie for two health issues that doctors could not fix; One was extreme unexplained bloating; Julie discovered via kinesiology that it was emotionally related and fixed me. I’ve never since had the extreme pain I used to suffer from! The second was a very scary constant dizzy feeling; a loss of memory; confusion, leg pain and continual vertigo. A neurologist couldn’t find anything wrong and I’d been forced to resign from work. After one visit to Julie for a session of kinesiology, I left feeling absolutely fine. She fixed me in less than an hour! I can’t explain her treatment as I still don’t understand it, but I 100% recommend her as a therapist. She has such a delicate and compassionate disposition with her patients and I can honestly say I hold a very special place for her in my life now. Thank you Julie x.
