What is Applied Kinesiology?
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a diagnostic system that combines manual muscle testing with standard methods of diagnosis to evaluate the body's structural, chemical, and mental health. It gives practitioners real-time feedback to find the root cause of a problem and tailor treatment to each patient.
