Applied Kinesiology is a complimentary medicine and treatment technique that explores the relationship between muscles, organ systems, and overall health. Developed by chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart in the 1960s, Applied Kinesiology combines principles from chiropractic care, traditional Chinese medicine, psychology and osteopathy. Practitioners use muscle testing to assess the strength or weakness of specific muscles, which is believed to reflect the body’s overall structural and energetic balance. By identifying muscle imbalances, practitioners aim to pinpoint underlying issues such as deficiencies, allergies, or stressors that may be affecting a person’s well-being. Applied Kinesiology may involve a combination of addressing identified imbalances and enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities. Applied Kinesiology addresses the root causes of health challenges rather than merely treating symptoms.
