What Is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is a natural, holistic approach to creating and maintaining optimal health and well-being. This system understands that we are energetic beings living in a sea of energy. Bioelectrical energy flows through various pathways throughout the body. When this energy flows unobstructed, we feel our best physically, mentally and emotionally.

Every aspect of our life, including our diet and environment, our lifestyle and exercise, our relationships and career, our thoughts, attitudes and beliefs, as well as internal and external toxins either enhances or impedes our energy flow. In Kinesiology we use manual muscle testing as a biofeedback indicator to determine where energy is blocked and what to do to restore our bodies to optimum energy flow and balance. A muscle tests weak when there is stress blocking energy flow and it tests strong when energy is flowing.
We all possess an innate intelligence that knows how to keep us in peak health. When you experience physical or emotional symptoms or disease, the way you are living, eating or thinking is not allowing your innate wisdom to carry out its function to create perfect health. In our programs we teach how to use muscle testing to tap into this innate wisdom and get direction as to what changes you need to make to restore yourself to optimum health and balance.

There are many forms of Kinesiology that are applied to many different areas including physical and psychological health, learning and educational development, sports performance and spiritual development. All forms have their roots in Applied Kinesiology (AK), which was founded by chiropractor George Goodheart in the mid 1960’s, along with Touch For Health, a refinement of AK developed by another chiropractor, John Thie.

A Kinesiologist applies structural, mental, nutritional, and energetic balancing techniques to help people alleviate pain, improve physical and mental performance, enhance energy, balance body chemistry and emotions and enhance their overall health and well-being. Used all over the world by a variety of different health professionals, it is one of the most advanced forms of holistic health care.

How Does it Work?

Through the art and science of muscle testing you can locate energetic and structural imbalances in the body. When energy is flowing, a muscle tests strong. When energy is blocked, a muscle tests weak. Further, you can determine which approach will be most suitable to bring the individual back into balance. Muscle testing also gives you immediate feedback to confirm your corrections have been effective.

As mentioned above, our bodies are run by an innate intelligence, which is connected to universal intelligence. Through muscle testing you can tap into the body’s wisdom and get information as to what aspect of your being needs to be addressed (the physical body, diet, thinking, lifestyle, environment) and what changes need to be made to bring the body back into balance.

How Does the Client Benefit?

Because Kinesiology deals with the whole person, the client will experience a wide range of benefits from the simple, yet powerful techniques. You'll have many effective tools to rapidly alleviate acute and chronic pain, increase energy, and enhance performance.

"I had a shoulder pain for eight months which I was unable to get rid of with numerous therapies. John Maguire worked on me for sixty seconds using Kinesiology procedures and totally alleviated the pain. After three years the pain has never returned." Marcus Shaw, PT – Pasadena, CA

Some of our graduates have worked with world-class and Olympic athletes to help them achieve state, national and even world records, as well as reduce their chances of injury.

Kinesiology is one of the quickest and most effective ways to help children and adults with learning difficulties. Joint conditions, including knee and hip problems, frozen shoulder and carpal tunnel, are often easily corrected. With Kinesiology you can discover which foods are depleting your energy and which foods and supplements can enhance your health and vitality.
