Applied Kinesiology, manual muscle testing for natural Health

Applied Kinesiology, muscle testing to help diagnosis

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis.

Osteopath, Michael Wickham using AK finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly.

As an osteopath and naturopath, Michael then works out the therapy that will best balance the patient's muscles, for natural health.

Therapies may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counselling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.

The method of Applied Kinesiology is primarily concerned with neuromuscular function (the relationship between muscles and nerve supply) and how it relates to the regulation of structural, chemical and emotional physiology.

Health is composed of structural, chemical and emotional factors which must be equally balanced and often referred to as the 'triangle of health'.

The principle of Applied Kinesiology is to analyse and check all three factors for Health if one or all are disrupted. It is important for the patient that all three aspects are analysed and balanced in order to restore the 'triangle of health' and subsequently restore the patient to complete natural health, well-being and improvement in quality of life.
