How does it work?
Kinesiology is a way of giving your body a voice and I use gentle muscle response testing as a way of getting feedback from the body.
Testing a muscle enables your body to tell me what & where the imbalances are, by changing a muscle's response.
When I test a muscle (usually an arm or leg) a message is sent from the brain, down the spinal cord and back again which tells the muscle to move. Anything the body likes or dislikes will reflect in a change in the muscle response, this enables me to identify what is going on - any likes/dislikes and helps to resolve imbalances - all unique to you.
Lying fully clothed on the couch we can find where the body holds imbalances using a muscles response.
What happens at an appointment?
I always chat through the questionnaire (& sometimes a food diary) that you’ve sent me prior to the appointment. Or for a follow up check how you are, what’s changed since your last visit & anything you’d like to work on this time.
Once you’re comfy on the couch I’ll demo the muscle test & then look for where the imbalances are and work on those in priority order.
There’s always another layer of stress that the body is ready to work on, whether it’s an emotional stress, something structural, electrical or a nutritional imbalance.
At the end I’ll check if the body is asking for any ongoing support emotionally or nutritionally & go over any after care advice to support you & give you the best chance of feeling better for longer.
What I don't do!
I don't diagnose and I don't treat medical conditions.
Instead, the emphasis is on restoring balance and overall wellness whilst reducing the stress load on the body.
Kinesiology testing sometimes feels like being a health detective asking where the issues are and what is needed to restore balance.
It is a gentle, fully clothed, whole person approach to personalised health.
