Kinesiology: The study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement. Also known as “muscle testing,” it can be used to determine the root cause of a condition. Practitioners view the body as an intelligent computer that knows exactly what is wrong and what is needed to restore balance. Using certain methods, a practitioner can identify the problem area and treat it effectively. It is very effective in treating sports injuries, as they are often the result of an imbalance in the muscle structure. There are several branches of Kinesiology, including Applied, Clinical and Educational.

CHIROPRACTIC

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” says a law of physics. When a vertebra becomes misaligned (subluxation) due to an external pressure, the Chiropractor can restore the alignment by applying an opposite pressure in the appropriate manner to correct the misalignment.

Subluxation of the vertebra can cause pressure on spinal cord nerve tissues, interfering with the nerves’ ability to conduct impulses to other tissues and organs, thus directly affecting one's overall health. See also below Chiropractic-Network and Kinesiology.

Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA): Variation of applied kinesiology cofounded by Dick A. Versendaal, D.C., author of Contact Reflex Analysis and Designed Clinical Nutrition.

According to Contact Reflex Analysis theory,

(a)           the surface of the human body has about seventy-five reflex points that serve as windows to numerous conditions, and

(b)           (b) the back of the hand is electronegative, the palm is positive, and the fingers are neutral.

The practitioner pulls downward on the patient's outstretched arm while he keeps part of his hand on a reflex point. Arm weakness indicates an incipient or full-blown health problem whose identity depends on the reflex point.

BODYTALK

Developed by chiropractor/ acupuncturist Dr. John Veltheim, BodyTalk is based on bio-energetic psychology, dynamic systems theory, Chinese medicine, and applied kinesiology. It has been extensively tested and used in clinics and hospitals in the United States, Europe, and Australia.

By integrating a series of tapping, breathing, and focusing techniques, BodyTalk does not require diagnosis and therefore is within the scope of practice of LMTs and bodyworkers. Its intent is to help the body synchronize and balance its parts (organs, endocrine, lymph, brain, meridians, etc.) so they communicate effortlessly and heal themselves. It strengthens the body’s innate knowledge of how to repair itself.

BodyTalk is used to address a range of health problems including fibromyalgia, infections, parasites, chronic fatigue, allergies, addictions, and cellular damage.
