What is Applied Kinesiology?

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system using muscle testing for evaluating areas of dysfunction within the body.
It uses the principle that the body is a self-maintaining, self correcting mechanism.
Assessing neuromuscular function provides additional information about the regulation of structure, chemical and mental physiology.

The use of manual muscle testing to evaluate body function was introduced by George Goodheart in 1964. Since then research into and knowledge of AK has expanded considerably, providing additional dimensions to the diagnosis of bodily dysfunction.

Even in the early days of AK it was apparent that the use of many basic treatments such as Osteopathy, Acupuncture, homeopathy etc produced immediate improvement of neuromuscular function which could be directly measured using manual muscle testing.

The development of AK has resulted in the modification of these techniques along with the introduction of some new procedures unique to AK.
