Kinesiology - the most holistic therapy I know
Kinesiology seems to be the “unknown therapy” as not many people have heard of it and perhaps shun it through lack of understanding. Its done through clothing so there are no embarrassing moments between client and therapist and is perhaps one of the less is more subtle modes of restoring client health.
This is the only therapy I know where the clients own body is able to tell the therapist what requires “fixing”. Through a series of muscle tests that relate to both to meridian lines and therefore organs in the body. We are able to determine where the energy blockages are that are affecting that person and initiate a “fix” using lymphatic massage (drainage), running meridian lines and holding neural vascular points to balance those energies and get your systems flowing again.
This usually allows us to restore factory settings on certain valves and glands and reset the body’s functions back to optimum. Kinesiology allows us to stabilise blood sugar levels for clients, determine food intolerances as well as vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Stresses can be relieved through emotional stress relief methods which not only creates emotional relief for the client by removing them from the “fight or flight” mechanism but also helps the stomach which is our 2nd brain to start functioning again more normally, thus allowing us to digest the very vitamins and minerals that we require more easily. Long term stress is a killer, and stress doesn’t just mean emotional, it can be over training, poor diet, not drinking enough water, not getting enough sleep. We are not trained councellors, so we, as kinesiologists do not need to know the intimate details of the thought processes that are causing the stress, but just act as a relief to purge the tension from the system. We are also able to check the client for Bach Flower remedy requirements through muscle testing too. These also help to allay stress on a subconscious level and change behavioural habits which may be preventing us from moving forward..
We are also able to negate the bodies retained memory of old injuries. This is where you may get recurring injuries in the same place because the body has remembered the original injury and subsequently, subconsciously thinks that this place still is weak (it may be that this is the case, but muscle testing will determine that) and release the trauma from that injury.
We can use kinesiology to fix structural alignments ie. re-align hips, the spinal column, the atlas etc. This is done quite subtly and not with severe manipulation. We can also relieve muscle tensions and balance active and reactive muscles.
Clients with long term chronic imbalances can be helped to reduce their symptoms and even in a lot of cases regress them, because we are able to locate most of the triggers, if not all, and reset them. Even if a client is not able to be muscle tested themselves we can use a surrogate who will test as if they are the client and any fixes can then be applied to the client.
Help can be also given to those people with allergies such as pollen and pet hair by desensitizing them to the irritants.
In conclusion kinesiology I believe is pure magic, providing the client wants to get better (and some don’t), kinesiology can either play a huge part in either reducing or fixing the problem. All in all I think that a good kinesiologist may be able to help people have a good quality of life by reducing or removing as many symptoms of an illness or discomfort as possible.
