A K, P K P, Touch For Health

“Kinesiology is the science of using muscle testing to assess the overall health of specific systems in the body and provide a means to correct any imbalances. By using muscles as a monitor of weakness or strength, Kinesiology provides a communication tool that allows us to detect areas in our bodies that may not be functioning properly due to physical injuries, emotional stress, improper nutrition, and learning problems. Once these imbalances are detected, the body system can be balanced and result in an improvement in a person's overall health and performance."

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is a natural, holistic approach to creating and maintaining optimal health and well-being applying structural, mental, nutritional, and energetic balancing techniques to help people alleviate pain, improve physical and mental performance, and enhance energy.

 What is AK - Applied Kinesiology?

Dr. George Goodheart, D.C., of Detroit, Michigan, a chiropractic physician and the founder of applied kinesiology, first observed in 1964 that the absence of skeletal deformity and postural distortion is often associated with muscular dysfunction. The distinguishing characteristic of AK, then, is the search for muscle imbalance so that it can be corrected. In general, the applied kinesiologist finds a muscle that tests weak and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. Headaches for example can be traced back to problems with the neck muscles. Therapies utilized can include specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management and various reflex procedures, in order to restore balance to the total being.

 What is TFH - Touch for Health?

The Touch for Health System, developed by Dr. John Thie, DC, is a practical guide to natural health that utilizes acupressure and massage to improve postural balance, and reduce physical and mental pain and tension. It is an approach to restoring natural energies that combines ancient Chinese energy therapies with recent Western developments in kinesiology. It is a very practical methodology for improving and enhancing health that utilizes the acupuncture meridian system to balance the body's 14 energy channels, thereby improving biological recovery.

What is PKP - Professional Kinesiology Practitioner

 The Professional Kinesiology Practitioner system was developed by Dr. Bruce Dewe, MD, from New Zealand, and from the research contributions of dozens of practitioners around the world. PKP is a system of addressing issues on the physical, energetic, mental, emotional, biochemical and spiritual levels based on a priority protocol.

 Relying on the body's wisdom and a thorough balancing procedure, the PKP system guides the practitioner to identify key issues and specific techniques that will gently and effectively release stuck patterns. Beginning with identifying any sabotage programs to a wide variety of corrective procedures, the PKP system offers over 300 techniques. It is a client based program that does not treat, diagnose or prescribe.

"The focus is not to come from technical brilliance so much as to communicate from the heart. This helps make the correction with greater self awareness of the link between your body, your thought processes, your emotional state and spiritual balance." Setting goals identifies specific energetic patterns that underlie reactive behavior patterns. Working primarily through the meridian system, the practitioner aims to balance the body's subtle energies, thereby stimulating the body's intrinsic healing ability.
