What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology (pronounced kin-easy-ology) is a holistic natural therapy.  It combines theories and knowledge from various modalities such as traditional Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractics, naturopathy, nutrition and counselling. 

What makes kinesiology unique is that the Kinesiologist is not the dispenser of healing knowledge but rather the facilitator for the body’s own intelligence to heal itself.  A fundamental premise of kinesiology is that the body has innate healing energy and is at all times doing its best to care for itself – sometimes it just needs a bit of help to get into a better position to achieve this. 

I use painless manual muscle monitoring techniques to evaluate the body’s systems in relation to stress.  The muscle response not only directs to the cause of the problem but also directs to the correction/balance needed to resolve it.

 ‘Corrections/balances’ are generally a combination of western techniques and eastern wisdom i.e. it could be stimulation of pressure points, administering a flower essence or modifications to diet.  The correction will assist in re-establishing effective and functional energy pathways to bring the body, mind and spirit into balance and harmony, thus promoting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
