Applied Kinesiology is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment that utilizes manual muscle testing to determine the underlying factors responsible for somatic dysfunctions. Each muscle in the body has been correlated with a specific organ or gland, acupuncture meridian, Chapman’s reflex, Bennett’s reflex, nutritional need, cranial stress receptor, or other significant treatment modality. A protocol is taught that systematically seeks out the specific therapies needed by the patient to achieve a healing response. Applied Kinesiology began over 60 years ago and has continued to evolve as a powerful force in the healing arts. The founder, Dr. George Goodheart, Jr., expanded upon classic viscero-somatic concepts to include the major muscles of the body in addition to traditional neuro-anatomical spinal-level relationships.

The benefits of learning Applied Kinesiology are numerous. First, students learn to artfully test all of the major muscle groups in the body. This helps find specific inhibition patterns underlying patient complaints (e.g. shoulder, knee and back complaints). On the more advanced level, the Applied Kinesiologist acquires a powerful algorithm for working through patient presentations. This algorithm integrates novel concepts of holographic neurology with the treatment techniques of numerous other healing arts. Applied Kinesiology is quite helpful in working with chronic and recurrent somatic dysfunctions.
