So what is Wholistic Kinesiology®?

What is Wholistic Kinesiology®? It is the art and science of neuromuscular evaluation for optimizing health. Or simply put, it is a remarkable tool that allows you to speak to the body. If we want to get more complicated, it is a neurological test for evaluating the body’s electromagnetic potentials. We are working with the nervous system, which is an electrical system and has positive and negative flows. It creates an electromagnetic field around it (very measurable) and it can be shorted out just like our electrical systems in our homes. The Chinese systems of flow of electrical energy are called meridians. We make great use of the meridian flow pathways in the body in Kinesiology. The eastern medical practitioners have paved the way for us by literally mapping out electrical highways in the body. If electrical energy is not flowing properly to an organ or muscle or joint we can detect this imbalance through testing the nervous system. This system of diagnosis may sound simplistic but it is very profound and valuable. We can literally ask the body how things are going internally.

When we see signs of imbalance by looking at someone, such as fatigue, paleness, weak nails, dark circles under the eyes, etc. we can interpret these as signs that the body is trying to tell us something. If we cover them up we only mask the signs and ignore the cause. With kinesiology, we can match the signs up with the cause and get to the root of the matter. We can also detect imbalances before they become symptomatic. I have countless times told patients what was going on in their body before they even knew or felt the symptoms.
