TREATING LEARNING DIFFICULTIES

Kinesiology works to address an over-active stress response system where the body is in a constant state of high alert. Children can be stuck in this state which decreases the ability for the brain to receive the signals it needs for optimal learning. Kinesiology switches off this unwanted energy pathway, inhibiting retained neo-natal reflexes and allowing for a calmer, more effective learning experience.  Michael has a keen interest in helping children with learning difficulties and his stills in this area are highly regarded by his peers.

CHRONIC PAIN IN THE ELDERLY

It is Michael’s belief that everyone can benefit from kinesiology from the very young to the elderly. As they get older, people often suffer unnecessarily from chronic pain associated with the natural process of aging. Common ailments such as aching joints and back pain can be effectively treated using kinesiology. Kinesiology can also help the elderly with focus and concentration. Michael uses specialised, advanced kinesiology techniques to provide the foundation and the basis for everyone to perform at their peak ability.

STRESS RELIEF

Humans are wired to protect themselves in dangerous situations where they feel fear – the heart rate increases, blood is sent away from the digestive system to the limbs and higher-executive thinking is swapped for fight or flight. The modern world is full of perceived threats and we can become stuck in overdrive. Kinesiology techniques balance the nervous system, correct the energy flow and enable calm to return.

KINESIOLOGY IS ALL ABOUT BALANCE

An imbalance in one part of your body creates imbalances elsewhere and any pain from past traumatic experiences is often stored somewhere inside you, blocking vital energy flow. Kinesiology is the science of energy balancing and is grounded in the study of anatomy and physiology. When neurological messaging is functioning correctly and when the physical, mental, emotional, chemical and electrical systems are balanced, the body’s natural energy systems create a healthy, well being.

HOW DOES KINESIOLOGY WORK?

Kinesiology practitioners undertake years of training to be able to assess the movement of energy – or what the Chinese call Chi – around the body and brain. They use a series of muscle monitoring techniques that bypass conscious thinking processes to isolate the source of imbalances and then draw on a breadth of therapeutic aids to address the issues they find. Using these monitoring techniques, it is possible to assess babies and pets using mum or the owner as a surrogate.

WHAT TO EXPECT 

Your kinesiologist will assess your body’s movement in different positions – sitting, laying and standing –so it is best to wear shorts or loose fitting trousers to your appointment. 

How many sessions, or how long it takes the body to heal, is up to the individual and depends on many factors such as the depth of the emotion and the disharmonies involved. It will be your willingness to release trapped, stagnant energy, grow with your new knowledge, and perhaps make certain lifestyle changes that will encourage the healing to progress.

KINESIOLOGY IS ALL ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE
