Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology™ (AK) is a comprehensive and holistic healthcare system that considers the importance of proper body mechanics, biochemistry, and emotional health in maintaining optimal health.
The body is an interconnected system, and AK recognizes that a problem in one area can affect the entire body. For example, poor posture can cause tension in the neck and shoulders, leading to headaches, while stress and emotional imbalances can negatively impact the immune system and digestive function.
The nervous system plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and wellbeing, as it is responsible for coordinating and monitoring all bodily functions. AK practitioners use a technique called muscle testing to assess the function of the nervous system and determine the underlying causes of health concerns. Muscle testing involves applying gentle pressure to specific muscles while the patient resists the pressure. By observing the strength or weakness of the muscle response, the practitioner can gain insights into the functioning of the nervous system and identify areas of imbalance or dysfunction.
Once the underlying causes of the health concern have been identified, an AK practitioner will develop a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of chiropractic adjustments, nutritional support, lifestyle changes, and other natural therapies. By addressing the root causes of health issues, rather than simply treating the symptoms, AK provides a holistic approach to healthcare that empowers patients to take control of their health and achieve optimal wellbeing
