Q: What is Applied Kinesiology and how does muscle testing work?
Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing as a primary feedback mechanism to examine how a person’s body is functioning. By applying a force to a muscle it can be determined how the muscle is functioning.
In general a muscle will either test strong or weak. Based on the information the practitioner receives from the muscle test, a diagnosis can then be made and a specific course of treatment determined to bring about healing to the body.
AK draws together the core elements of many complementary therapies; it is an interdisciplinary approach to health care.2, 5. By utilizing AK, a systematic but individualized approach to your health can be achieved. How your individual malady is treated is specific to you. We might all be diagnosed with the same condition but the treatment for each individual may be different. This is just one of the ways AK is so valuable.
