Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a gentle, non-invasive approach to health care that evaluates the structural, chemical, and mental aspects of the body. It uses manual muscle testing, along with other standard diagnostic methods, to assess how well the body is functioning and to identify underlying imbalances.

The term Applied Kinesiology reflects the system’s foundation—using muscle function to gain insight into the health of the musculoskeletal, nervous, and biochemical systems. By observing how the body responds, AK helps guide personalized care that supports the body’s natural healing ability.

Treatment approaches may include gentle joint mobilization or manipulation, myofascial and cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture-based methods, clinical nutrition and dietary guidance, lifestyle and stress support, evaluation of environmental irritants, and specific reflex procedures. Each plan is tailored to the individual, addressing the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

Applied Kinesiology has become a respected and dynamic approach within holistic health care, valued for its comprehensive, integrative, and patient-centered philosophy.
