What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a form of complementary medicine developed by a chiropractor named George Goodheart in the 1960s. It is based on the concept that health problems can be identified through one's muscles and can be treated through muscle testing. Kinesiology uses the muscles in our body to check for imbalances and symptoms, allowing kinesiologists to work out what may be causing pain or symptoms. This information then informs appropriate treatment and advice on lifestyle choices that support good health and eliminate disease altogether.
What Conditions Can Kinesiology Help With?
Kinesiology has been used for many years by athletes, personal trainers, health professionals and doctors, among others, as it offers a wide array of benefits, including relaxation, improved energy levels and increased muscle strength. A kinesiology treatment may be helpful for a number of health issues such as:
- Digestive disorders
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Menstrual cramps
- Back pain
- High blood pressure
- Fatigue
- Sinus problems
- Headaches and migraines
- Stress
- Injuries
- Chronic pain
- Respiratory issues
