Systematic Kinesiology is a way of identifying imbalance a person has by monitoring their ability to hold their muscles against light pressure.  Each muscle is related to an organ and also to an energy pathway called a meridian.  Together the muscle, organ and meridian form a “circuit”.  If there are any chemical, emotional, structural or energetic stresses affecting the circuit, the muscle tested will feel “spongy” indicating an imbalance.

Once the imbalance is found the Kinesiologist uses the muscle test again to get feedback from the person’s body about what factors are aggravating the imbalance and what will help to rebalance it.  Each time a relevant factor is introduced the muscle’s response changes, a bit like a switch.  So imagine a spongy muscle as being “off”; if the person then thinks of an emotional stress and the muscle is suddenly able to hold the pressure, ie it switches “on”, that indicates that particular stress is involved in that imbalance.  Similarly if a particular nutrient, when placed in the mouth causes the muscle to switch “on” we know it will be helpful.  The same process can be used to find related structural problems and energetic factors that are involved.

Based on this feedback the Kinesiologist and client can discover exactly what is involved in the imbalance and devise a wellness plan.  It may include nutritional supplements, various emotional stress release techniques, Bach Flower remedies, acupressure, gentle structural realignment, Chakra balancing, light touch, suggested lifestyle changes and more.  The exact treatment you receive depends on the feedback your body gives through the muscle test about what it needs to return to health.
