"True Healing will only occur when we are acknowledging every aspect of ourselves and treating ourselves accordingly."
- Kate Reardon
The word Kinesiology is pronounced kin-easy-ology. It is simply the study of muscles and the movement of the body. Kinesiology makes use of “muscle monitoring” – holding a muscle against light pressure – as a method of getting feedback from the body. This enables a Kinesiologist to identify what is causing imbalances within the body’s system and how best to re-establish that balance. The human body is naturally a self-healing and self-regulating system and is designed to be in balance on all levels (physically, mentally, and emotionally).
Specialised Kinesiology is a very gentle, non-invasive yet powerful therapy, and at its core is the fact that the human body has its own innate healing ability – but it is not always able to access this ability. The main aim of Specialized Kinesiology is to assist the body in being better able to heal itself and be more in balance.
Sometimes, however, we find ourselves in a state of “dis-stress” or “dis-ease” – either physically, mentally or emotionally. This is our body’s way of indicating that we have gone “off track”. Symptoms are our body’s way of communicating to let us know that we are “off track”, not living to our full potential, or not coping in one or more aspects or areas of our life.
Kinesiology offers a very powerful means to re-balance ourselves by allowing us to identify and balance the underlying cause of a complaint rather than just treating or suppressing the symptoms. Kinesiology looks at the whole person in order to find out what is behind the symptoms.
A Kinesiologist uses various balancing techniques and protocols such as light touch or pressure to specific points or reflexes to re-establish balance and activate the body’s intrinsic healing process so that the body can heal itself more quickly and effectively. It does not diagnose, nor does it focus on treating symptoms.
Kinesiology is a holistic healing modality that complements professional healthcare. It can help speed up recovery and improve quality of life.
