Applied Kinesiology, was
founded in 1964 by the American chiropractor George Goodheart
and are now used by chiropractors, osteopaths, medical doctors,
dentists and others with a license to diagnose. Dr. George
Goodheart found that evaluation of normal and abnormal body
function could be accomplished by using muscle tests. Since
the original discovery, the principle has broadened to include
evaluation of the nervous, vascular, and lymphatic systems,
nutrition, acupuncture, and cerebrospinal fluid function.
.
Kinesiology is defined primarily as the use of muscle testing
to identify imbalances in the body's structural, chemical,
emotional or other energy, to establish the body's priority
healing needs, and to evaluate energy changes brought about
by a broad spectrum of both manual and non-manual therapeutic
procedures. Kinesiology, therefore, may be understood as
a system of natural health care which combines muscle monitoring
with the principles of Chinese medicine to assess energy
and body function, applying a range of gentle yet powerful
healing techniques to improve health, wellbeing and vitality.
