What is Holistic Kinesiology?
Kinesiologists work on improving health and wellbeing by stimulating the client’s own healing potential. As Kinesiologists, we do not diagnose illness. We work with stress patterns, signs and symptoms. We are often interested in what diagnosis has been given to a client, but we do not treat two clients with the same diagnosis in exactly the same way.
The following definition of Kinesiology was approved by the Australian Kinesiology Association in 1999:
As Holistic Kinesiologists, we use muscle monitoring in clinic as one of the main assessment tools, finding areas to explore and where to correct. It is an extremely useful tool when used appropriately and in conjunction with other assessment tools such as orthopaedic and neurological assessment, homeopathic constitutions, Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis and constitutions, pathophysiology, counselling, and client feedback.
Muscle monitoring is very good at assessing what is relevant for a stress that is current now. For example, checking what emotion underlies a particular ache or pain. We can use kinesiology to help people connect with their core and find their truth. Ultimately, it is the client that connects to the truth and by connecting understands themselves and the world better.
