ABOUT KINESIOLOGY!
“The essence of health is inner balance”
Triad Of Health
For optimal health and well-being it is important
that your body is “IN-BALANCE” through 3 different
aspects of health.
Physiological
Psychological
Bio-chemical
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
This is represented in the "TRIAD OF HEALTH".
If one side of the triangle is affected,
it is therefore imbalanced.
If one aspect of your health is affected, you will show symptoms of pain or stress.
HOW DOES KINESIOLOGY WORK?
Muscle Testing!
Muscle testing is the skill of applying appropriate pressure to a muscle detecting a change in strength.
The muscle will respond by either holding to the same amount of applied pressure (“lock”) or by not holding to the same amount of applied pressure (“unlock”). For example, an “unlocked” muscle response could indicate there is an imbalance or stress.
The Science
In order to find imbalances or stress, we need to access the body's bio-feedback system, also known as Proprioception.
Proprioception is a continuous loop of feedback between sensory receptors throughout the body and the central nervous system.
Proprioceptors are located on your skin, joints, and muscles. When we move, our brain senses the effort, force, and heaviness of our actions and responds accordingly.
During a muscle test, the proprioceptors located in the “Muscles Spindles” are activated by touch or sense. The central nervous system carries the signal to the brain, and in turn, a muscle response is initiated at the point of activation.
Kinesiology is the science of interpreting this muscle response as an indicator of Psychological, Physiological and Bio-chemical stress.
