What is Applied Kinesiology, and how can it help you?

Muscle testing is both an art and a science — it involves both the tester and the person being tested, and results are read carefully rather than guessed at. Recent research theorises that brain frequencies actually synchronise when the test is performed correctly (Prof. Frank Bittmann, Universität Potsdam).

In everyday language, people describe a muscle as "weak" or "strong." That doesn't describe your general strength — it's an indication of whether the muscle is performing in a proper, predictable manner. A "weak" muscle is one where the motor signal to it is aberrant and conditionally inhibited; a muscle can also be dysfunctional by over-contracting, an equally aberrant reaction to a challenge.

Muscles can become imbalanced for many reasons — physical or neurological injury, chemical and biochemical issues, even emotional and electromagnetic-type stress. This is why an Applied Kinesiology practitioner trains extensively to perform manual muscle testing accurately, so you are well-oriented on the path to recovery.
