WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY?

What is kinesiology?

This is the question I get asked the most!

​

There are different types of kinesiology, one of which is PKP Kinesiology. PKP stands for "Professional Kinesiology Practice," which is a form of kinesiology that uses muscle testing to identify imbalances and blockages in the body's energy systems.

​

In PKP kinesiology, we use muscle testing to assess the client's physical, emotional, and mental health. By identifying areas of weakness or imbalance in the body's energy systems, we can then develop a treatment plan to restore balance and improve overall health and wellbeing.  

​

PKP kinesiology is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and incorporates elements of other holistic healing practices, such as nutrition, acupressure, aromatherapy, and emotional release techniques. Kinesiology is used to address a range of health concerns, including physical pain, stress, anxiety, and emotional trauma. It is also effective in helping clients to gain clarity and set goals, and we frequently work with clients to expose and clear unconscious patterns that may be blocking them from achieving these goals.

​

PKP kinesiology practitioners are trained and certified professionals who work with clients to help them achieve their goals, whether relating to health, family, career, relationships, sport or any other area of life.

​

PKP kinesiology is a form of complementary therapy and is often used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.

What can I expect in a session?

Sessions are conducted at Ease Wellness Clinic in Summer Hill, in Sydney's Inner West.

 

A typical session goes for an hour, and begins with a discussion around what you would like to achieve from the session.  We establish a clear goal for the session and then move on to muscle testing.  We use muscle testing to confirm the goal we are working with, to identify the 'imbalance' or stress, and then to determine the treatment.  

​

Most clients leave a kinesiology session with a feeling of calm, clarity and lightness.

​

What is muscle testing?

Kinesiology muscle testing is a method used to evaluate the function of muscles and the integrity of the nervous system. During muscle testing, the practitioner applies light pressure to a muscle while the client resists. The muscle response is then assessed to determine its strength or weakness.

The practitioner typically asks the client to hold their arm or leg in a specific position while applying pressure to the muscle. The pressure may be applied in different directions, and the client's response to each direction is evaluated to determine any imbalances.

​

Muscle testing is based on the principle that the body's muscles are connected to the nervous system, and changes in muscle strength can indicate imbalances or dysfunction in other areas of the body. By identifying imbalances through muscle testing, kinesiology practitioners can develop treatment plans to address the root cause of health issues.

​

Kinesiology muscle testing is used to evaluate a wide range of health issues, including physical pain, emotional stress, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and more. It is a non-invasive and gentle approach to healthcare that empowers clients to take an active role in their healing process.

​

Who can benefit from kinesiology?

Kinesiology's fundamental premise is that the body has an innate healing system that strives for balance or homeostasis. However, factors like injury, emotional trauma, poor nutrition, or stress can hinder this process. Kinesiologists aim to restore balance to the physical, biochemical, and emotional aspects, referred to as the triangle of health, to help clients heal.

 

Kinesiology is not limited to treating ailments; anyone can benefit from it. It can enhance all aspects of life and help you to achieve your goals whether in the area of career, family, health, sports, relationships, learning, or life in general.

​

What types of problems are solved by kinesiology?

The results clients achieve from kinesiology vary widely.  Here are some of the common observations by clients:

• I was able to release anxiety and feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders after my kinesiology sessions

• It helped me to identify and overcome roadblocks in my life that I had been struggling with for years
