IT ALL BEGINS WITH MUSCLE TESTING.

Why Muscle Testing?

Muscle testing, also known as applied kinesiology, is a technique we use to assess the body’s imbalances and needs by evaluating the strength of certain muscles in response to various stimuli.

Muscle Testing is Essential to Our Practice
  • Holistic: Muscle testing is based on the premise that the body is an interconnected system where physical, chemical, and emotional factors affect health. By assessing muscle strength in response to specific substances or thoughts, we can gain insight into the broader state of the body’s health and its imbalances.

  • Early Detection: Muscle testing helps identify imbalances or dysfunctions that may not yet have manifested as full-blown clinical symptoms. This early detection can be crucial in preventing more serious health issues from developing.

  • Customized: By using muscle testing to assess the body’s responses to various stimuli (including nutritional supplements, Bach flower remedies, and more), we are better able to tailor treatments to your specific needs.

  • Non-invasive & Safe: Muscle testing is a non-invasive and safe method, including for those who may not be able to undergo more traditional forms of testing due to age, pregnancy, or health conditions.

  • Integrative Diagnostics: Muscle testing can be integrated with other modalities and helps determine which areas of the body to focus on during reflexology or acupressure, or what type of energy work could be most beneficial.

  • Immediate Feedback: Muscle testing provides immediate feedback. This real-time interaction enhances our therapeutic relationship and allow for dynamic adjustments in the treatment plan.
