Applied Kinesiology
At A Lebro Center For Wellbeing, we specialize in Applied Kinesiology, a holistic approach to health and wellness that integrates principles from chiropractic, biochemistry, and other disciplines.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a unique method of assessing the body's structural, chemical, and emotional aspects using muscle testing. Let's dive into what muscle testing is and how it plays a vital role in our practice.
What is Muscle Testing?
Muscle testing, also known as manual muscle testing (MMT) or applied kinesiology muscle testing, is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to evaluate the body's overall health. It is based on the principle that muscles are connected to the central nervous system, and their strength or weakness can indicate underlying imbalances or stressors in the body.
How Does Muscle Testing Work?
During a muscle testing session, the practitioner will ask the patient to hold specific positions or resistances while applying gentle pressure to certain muscles. The response of the muscle provides valuable information about the body's condition.
Indicator Muscle: The practitioner will identify a strong "indicator" muscle, often the arm or leg, to establish a baseline strength for the patient.
Testing Procedure: Various tests are then conducted by the practitioner, who applies light pressure to the indicator muscle while the patient holds a specific posture, thinks about a particular issue, or is exposed to a substance. If the muscle weakens or "unlocks," it suggests an imbalance or stress related to that specific condition or substance.
Interpreting Results: The responses are interpreted to identify areas of weakness, nutritional deficiencies, structural misalignments, energy blockages, or emotional stressors.
Treatment Planning: Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This may include chiropractic adjustments, nutritional supplements, dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, or emotional release techniques.
What Can Muscle Testing Assess?
Nutritional Deficiencies: Muscle testing can identify deficiencies in essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients crucial for optimal health.
Allergies and Sensitivities: It can pinpoint food allergies, environmental sensitivities, or reactions to substances like pollen, dust, or chemicals.
Structural Issues: Muscle testing can detect misalignments in the spine, joints, or muscles that may contribute to pain or dysfunction.
Emotional Imbalances: Emotional stressors or traumas can manifest as physical weaknesses in muscle testing, allowing for a holistic approach to healing.
Toxicity Levels: Testing can reveal the body's ability to handle toxins and pollutants, guiding detoxification protocols.
Organ Function: The technique can also provide insights into the functioning of organs and systems within the body.
Why Choose Muscle Testing?
Non-Invasive: Muscle testing is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for individuals of all ages.
Personalized Care: Results from muscle testing guide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Holistic Approach: AK looks at the body as a whole, addressing underlying causes rather than just symptoms.
Complementary to Traditional Medicine: It can be used alongside conventional medical treatments to enhance overall health and well-being.
