Page 3 of 3 Kinesiology Kinesiology is perhaps best known as a technique to identify food intolerances. It is so much more than that. Kinesiology looks at health from a totally holistic perspective. Illness is caused by stress - physical, electromagnetic, nutritional, emotional mental environmental and spiritual. A Kinesiologist helps identify stressors - eg past emotional trauma, or food sensitivity - and restore balance using appropriate techniques or education. In my own 3 year training we learned more than 300 health promoting healing Kinesiology techniques. They range from emotional release to acupressure, from energy balancing to muscle strengthening. We work extensively with people’s limiting beliefs which create low self esteem and an inability to create happy successful lives. Stresses are determined by muscle testing. Muscle tone changes under any kind of stress, physical or emotional and is widely used in America by many professionals including doctors dentists and chiropractors. Thus a Kinesiologist can determine the major stressors for a client and apply the appropriate remedy or technique. My own experience is eloquent testimony to the effectiveness of complementary therapies. In 1991 after 2 years of (largely ineffective) orthodox treatment for depression I recovered completely after just 2 sessions of Kinesiology. I wondered then, as I wonder now, why are people not informed of the effectiveness of these therapies? The NHS does a wonderful job in many cases. When I broke my leg I received excellent treatment including bone grafting pinning and plating of my tibia and fibula. But I also used complementary techniques to help my recovery (including taking the homeopathic remedy Arnica – a must for pre and post op patients). In the Book of Health there are many chapters. Orthodox western medical practice is only one of those chapters. If we really want to do the best for our patients, and especially if we want to empower them, we must inform them of the other chapters in the book and let them decide how they wish to be treated. Why not combine the best of all effective modalities and create a truly integrated approach to health care? Complementary Therapies are effective, they are cost-effective - - and they do no harm.
