Facial Analysis & Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology muscle testing is a diagnostic technique that utilizes muscle strength or weakness as an indicator of underlying imbalances or health conditions within the body. This method involves the practitioner applying light pressure on specific muscles while the patient resists the force. The response of the muscle is then observed to determine if it is strong or weak, which can provide valuable information about the health of various organs, systems, or even emotional well-being. By identifying areas of weakness, applied kinesiology muscle testing can help identify potential issues and guide treatment plans, such as recommending specific dietary changes, supplements, or exercises. However, it is important to note that this technique is controversial and not widely accepted within the medical community, with some experts questioning its scientific validity.
Orthomolecular Medicine
Orthomolecular medicine is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other natural substances to restore and maintain optimal health. The concept behind orthomolecular therapy is that by providing the body with the right balance of nutrients, it can heal itself and prevent or treat various diseases. This approach believes that many health conditions arise from imbalances or deficiencies in the body's biochemistry, and correcting these imbalances can lead to improved health outcomes. Orthomolecular practitioners often use vitamins and minerals to achieve therapeutic effects. While the effectiveness of orthomolecular medicine is still a topic of debate within the medical community, many individuals have reported significant improvements in their health and well-being after receiving this type of treatment.
Kinesiology Allergies and Food Intolerances
Kinesiology is a huge topic that works with a variety of tools and techniques, but what seems to have stuck in many people’s minds is how brilliant it is at pinpointing food intolerances and working with allergies.
Benefits of Kinesiology for Food Testing
The best part about using kinesiology for food testing is that it is:
Non-invasive – there are no blood tests required and no skin needs removing
Quick – the test is done there and then, nothing needs to be processed in a lab with weeks’ worth of waiting
Specific – you only test the foods you are eating. Many tests will look at hundreds of different types of food, but what is the point in knowing you can’t eat kiwi fruit if you never eat it anyway?
It is comparatively cheaper – Kinesiology is a very reasonable cost therapy-wise, and the food testing is done as part of a longer treatment.
You can retest easily. Reactions to food are not set in stone. Our immune function can change depending on many lifestyle factors. Being able to get information about how you are reacting to a specific food now and then. Also, after a few months of addressing other lifestyle factors gives you a much clearer picture of whether it is the food causing the issue or other lifestyle factors taking up too much “bandwidth” meaning your immune system hasn’t got the capability to deal with that added stress.
Applied Kinesiology
Kinesiology, also known as biomechanics, is the study of body movement. Applied kinesiology (AK) which is also known as muscle strength testing. It is a method of diagnosis and treatment based on the belief that various muscles are linked to particular organs and glands, and that specific muscle weakness can signal distant internal problems such as nerve damage, reduced blood supply, chemical imbalances, or other organ or gland problems. Practitioners contend that by correcting this muscle weakness, you can help heal an issue in the associated internal organ.
Applied kinesiology can be used to diagnose and treat nervous system problems, nutritional deficiencies or excesses, imbalances in the body’s “energy pathways” (known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as meridians), and many other health concerns.
