Origins and history of Kinesiology
“Kinesiology encompasses holistic health disciplines which use the gentle art of muscle monitoring to access information about a person’s well-being. It combines Western techniques and Eastern wisdom to promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Kinesiology identifies the elements which inhibit the body’s natural internal energies and accesses the life enhancing potential within the individual.”
What is Kinesiology?
It aims to optimise the body's natural capacity for self-healing by employing therapies and methods that monitor and enhance energy flow within the muscles and organs. This comprehensive approach to health fosters overall well-being, leading to both physical and mental advantages. As a rapidly expanding sector of alternative medicine, more and more individuals are recognizing and embracing the benefits that kinesiology offers.
Kinesiology utilises non-invasive techniques rooted in ancient medicinal practices like acupressure and massage. Its main objective is to establish balance within the body, thereby promoting overall health and well-being. A kinesiologist will carefully observe your muscles to identify imbalances, physical discomfort, and emotional stress, which may manifest as depression, anxiety, poor posture, or digestive issues. Kinesiology adopts a holistic approach to healthcare, incorporating various natural health modalities, including acupressure, neuro-vascular and neuro-lymphatic systems, meridian energy flow, counseling, body psychology, brain integration, nutrition, homeopathy, chakra healing, structural balancing (including TMJ), color and sound therapy, as well as essences and essential oils. Each kinesiology session is personalized to address the individual's specific needs and concerns.
