What is Applied Kinesiology?
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a holistic health practice that uses muscle testing to diagnose and treat various physical and mental conditions.
It was developed in the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart, a chiropractor who believed that muscle weakness could indicate underlying health problems.
This method integrates principles from chiropractic care, traditional Chinese medicine, and nutrition to provide a comprehensive approach to health and wellness.

"IT's Worth It!"
How Does AK Work?
Applied Kinesiology is based on the idea that the body is an interconnected system, and imbalances in one area can affect other parts of the body. Practitioners use muscle testing to evaluate the body’s functional status.
Here’s a step-by-step look at how it works:
1. Muscle Testing: The practitioner asks the patient to hold a specific position while applying gentle pressure to a muscle. If the muscle can hold the position, it is considered strong. If it gives way, it is considered weak.
2. Diagnosis: Muscle weakness can indicate issues such as nutritional deficiencies, organ imbalances, or structural misalignments.
3. Treatment: Based on the findings, the practitioner might recommend chiropractic adjustments, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, or other therapeutic interventions.
Who Can Benefit From Applied Kinesiology?
Applied Kinesiology can be beneficial for a wide range of individuals with different health concerns:
1. Chronic Pain Sufferers: People with chronic back pain, neck pain, or joint issues may find relief through AK, as it can help identify and correct structural imbalances.
2. Athletes: Athletes often use AK to optimize performance, prevent injuries, and speed up recovery. It can help identify weaknesses and imbalances that might not be apparent through traditional methods.
3. Individuals with Digestive Issues: AK practitioners can identify food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, and other factors contributing to digestive problems.
4. People with Stress and Anxiety: By addressing imbalances in the body, AK can help reduce stress and anxiety, leading to improved mental health.
5. General Wellness: Anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being can benefit from AK. It offers a holistic approach that considers the entire body rather than just treating symptoms.
