Kinesiology
Kinesiology (kin-easy-ology) works with the body's
innate healing intelligence. It aids the body in it's
natural drive to restoring balance and thus health.
When everything is functioning well in our system, we
feel well. In order to remain well, energy must constantly
flow around all parts of our body through pathways called
'Meridians'. This energy is what the Chinese call 'Chi'
and it controls how efficiently all the components of
the body (organs, muscles etc.) function.
Kinesiologists undertake years of training to be able
to access this movement of energy.
When the energy flow is impaired, it can overwhelm the
body, and result in physical pains, mental discomfort,
and a myriad of other symptoms. These symptoms are the
body's way of telling us that something is wrong. Modern
medical science has traditionally focused on the treatment
of these symptoms whereas Kinesiology focuses on identifying
the bottom-line cause and then resolving it. It might
be nutrional, emotional, structural, electrical or even
spiritual - something as simple as an 'attitude' or
a forgotten memory.
The essential tool upon which Kinesiology relies is
the muscle feedback system - a handy piece of wiring
in our bodies that gives instant access to the information
held by the core operating unit of the body - the subconscience
mind. This normally inaccessible area holds all of our
memories and all the information about our physical,
emotional and mental states. It also determines the
level of tension in our muscles. By measuring this level
of tension, we can quickly establish what the cause
of the problem is. This is done by the therapist touching
a muscle in the arm of the client, and feeling the amount
of 'give' in this muscle.
When a session starts, the client will be asked to
remove their shoes and lie down on a couch. Kinesiology
is a completely non-invasive therapy and therefore clients
remain fully clothed throughout the session.
