Applied Kinesiology in Busselton. For whole-body insight and real results
Your body’s always talking sometimes in symptoms, sometimes in silence. Applied Kinesiology helps us listen. At our chiropractic clinic in Western Australia, we use this powerful tool to assess nervous system function, muscle response and overall wellbeing, not just where it hurts.
What is Kinesiology?
It is likely what you know as “kinesiology” is more accurately someone utilising Manual Muscle Testing. Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is a diagnostic tool used by different practitioners.
The basic principle of kinesiology-style muscle testing is that when there is stress or abnormal nervous system input to a muscle, it “weakens.” The practitioner can then use the muscle response to see what is required to change the stress response. By addressing the areas of focus, and discovering what is needed to rebalance or remove the stress on the system the MMT is also used as feedback to see when the body has “had enough”.
Kinesiology style muscle testing differs from orthopaedic muscle testing which is there to identify specific neuromuscular control issues.
Many of the practitioners at Soul Care Chiorpactic utilise both orthopaedic functional muscle testing and kinesiology MMT in a variety of techniques in their own special way. Just as a carpenter and plumber can use a hammer differently, each practitioner has been trained to find different areas of interest. Each person has their own unique approach to ask your body what it needs on that particular day.
Some of the techniques our practitioners use that involve MMT include Neuro Emotional Technique, Applied Kinesiology, and Neural Organizational Technique. For more information on these techniques, follow the links provided or ask any of our wonderful team members
