What is Kinesiology ?

Originally, Applied Kinesiology was developed by Dr. John Tie and Dr. George Goodheart in California in the 1960s. From this they derived Touch for Health, as a more commonly used form for general well being. Later other types of Kinesiology were developed.

There are many forms of Kinesiology, some more clinical in orientation, such as Applied Kinesiology, and some more psychological in their effect, such as Emotional Kinesiology or Creative Kinesiology. One Brain and Neuromeridian Kinesiology available in Germany. are forms of Kinesiology which work more specifically with the brain. Some Kinesiologists specialise in sports injuries, others in diet or in improving eye sight, or deep-rooted psychological problems. The basic technique of working remains the same, regardless of the specialisation or specific form of Kinesiology adopted.

Educational Kinesiology

Educational Kinesiology was developed by Dr. Paul Dennison in California, in response to the needs of children with learning difficulties. It was soon found that Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K) also has beneficial results, helping adults make fundamental changes in their lives leading to greater ease with self and community.

The practitioner in Kinesiology uses an apparently simple method of working with the client called 'muscle testing', a light touch. This helps the practitioner assess, and work with, the changes, which are called for in a therapy session. By testing through touch the ability of the client's mind to send a steady signal to a particular muscle in the body, and hold it in a stable position, the practitioner can assess in what ways the client can be helped. During the session gentle and very specific touch is used. Sometimes the touch is strong, with permission of the client. Movement, sound, colour and visualisation, or simple exercises called Brain Gym (used also in schools) are additional means of working. Further muscle testing consolidates the process. Changes occur on the physical, emotional and mental levels. Homework in the form of exercises, visualisations, saying an affirmation, and/or change in ways of living, may be advised for the client to do after the session for a certain length of time.
