Kinesiology is a holistic, complementary therapy which uses gentle muscle monitoring techniques to determine and remove underlying stresses within the body’s many systems including the muscular, nervous, endocrine and immune systems as well as the energetic meridian and chakra systems. What makes Kinesiology treatment so effective is that it is always specific to the individual. It focuses on your body’s innate ability to heal itself and uncovers the underlying conditions and stressors that may be preventing you from achieving your health potential. Kinesiology is a truly holistic approach to help you clear limiting beliefs, perform successfully, heal yourself and maintain your wellbeing.

Sports Kinesiology Fitness Training is a culmination of the most advanced philosophies, techniques and procedures from Orthopaedic Medical Science and Holistic Kinesiology, incorporating sports medicine, sports science, performance training, recovery & rehabilitation, nutrition and nutritional biochemistry, psychology and the energetic sciences.
Working with the traditional Vedic principles I focus on using corrective exercise and stretching to:
             1. Rejuvenate the body and cultivate the mind
             2. Remove stress
             3. Develop mind-body integration and coordination
             4. Rehabilitate injured or fatigued muscles
             5. Improve posture
             6. Manage pain
People at any age or level of fitness can achieve great results with this therapy.

Treatment given during your session may include: Acupressure; Meridian and Chakra balancing; Bennett’s holding points; Chapman’s Neuro-lymphatic point massage; Australian Bush Flower Essences; Sound Vibration; Nutritional advice; Corrective Exercise and Stretching. If I see the need to refer you on for other treatment you can be assured that I only refer to therapists I would trust with my own healthcare.

Kinesiology Defined:

"Kinesiology, literally the study of body movement, encompasses holistic health disciplines using  gentle manual muscle testing to monitor information about a person's well-being. It originated in the 1960's combining Western techniques with Eastern wisdom to promote physical, emotional and spiritual health. Kinesiology identifies factors which block the body's natural healing process. These dysfunction's are rectified by attention to reflex and acupressure points, the use of specific body movements and nutritional support. Kinesiology can relieve pain, stress, muscular and nervous disorders; detect allergies and nutritional deficiencies; assist with psychological and learning problems, stimulate energies and release untapped potential." (Definition officially recognised by British Parliament)

“Kinesiology encompasses holistic health disciplines which use the gentle art of muscle monitoring to access information about a person's well-being. Originating in the 1970's, it combines Western techniques and Eastern wisdom to promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Kinesiology identifies the elements which inhibit the body's natural internal energies and accessing the life enhancing potential within the individual." (Definition approved by the Australian Kinesiology Association in 1999)

 

A Brief History of Kinesiology:

Kinesiology began in the US in the work of 1930's 'human movement' or Kinesiology academics. Chiropractors soon found the muscle monitoring techniques useful and began to apply them when working on muscle function in their patients. In the early 1960's, a Detroit chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart found that muscle monitoring could also access the functional status of other physiological systems.

Muscle monitoring, as used in Kinesiology today, is the art of placing specific muscles into their most contracted position where the neurological integrity (not the strength) of that muscle can be monitored by asserting a certain amount of pressure upon the limb.

Dr Goodheart found that muscles which could not "lock", i.e. maintain position against slight pressure, could be "tonified", i.e. locked, by stimulating certain points on the body. Through much research and observation a comprehensive system of muscle monitoring and muscle corrections was put together. These correction procedures included Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflex points (for lymphatic function), Bennett's Neurovascular Reflex points (for vascular function) and Spinal Reflex technique (for nervous system function). Goodhearts research explored the subtle energy pathways described in Chinese medical literature and also found that meridian stimulation could also tonify a previously "weak" muscle. Goodheart collated this information together in a form which is now universally accepted as "Kinesiology".  Today Kinesiologists incorporate a variety of vibrational healing techniques to treat imbalances in the body’s many systems.
