Open a Chapter

Bring Applied Kinesiology to your country.

How to start a new ICAK chapter

The ICAK is made up of 14 chapters across five continents — but that list isn't fixed. If there is no organisation in your country yet, here is how to learn the process of forming one under the ICAK's international standard.

The process

Five steps to a new chapter

  1. Confirm there isn’t already a chapter

    Check the Global Chapters directory for your country. If a chapter already exists, reach out to its chair directly instead — the process below is for countries with no organisation yet.

  2. Gather a founding group of licensed practitioners

    A new chapter starts with a small group of doctors and healthcare professionals, licensed to diagnose in your country, who are trained or training in Applied Kinesiology.

  3. Contact the International Council

    Reach out through the membership inquiry form to introduce your founding group and country. The International Council will walk you through requirements for recognition.

  4. Adopt ICAK standards

    New chapters commit to the same 100-hour Basic Applied Kinesiology certification and independent examination standard used by every existing chapter — one college, one standard of care.

  5. Launch your chapter

    Once recognised, your chapter names a Chapter Chair and an International Council Representative, and can begin building its own practitioner directory and seminar calendar.
