Muscle testing in which the person holds the substance in question while being tested for muscular resistance responses.

The science or study of muscles. Also, the testing of muscles to get answers or guidance for mental, emotional, or spiritual needs.

The study of human movements as a function of the construction of the musculoskeletal system.

the branch of physiology that studies the mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement

An investigation of the muscle-gland-organ link for an indication of the cause of illnesses. Practicioners of applied kinesiology believe muscles reflect the flow of ch'i and that by measuring muscle resistance one can determine the health of bodily organs. Once a problem has been identified, various treatment techniques are used to strengthen the muscles involved and restore health.

This refers generally to the study of human movement as it relates to health and disease. Applied Kinesiology more specifically observes and tests body movement and muscle strength to diagnose imbalances in the body and monitor the effectiveness of corrective treatments.

The science of movement, especially of the therapeutic use of physical movements.

Self-help therapy technique for improving general well-being. Includes kinematics, nutrition and mental training. Using massage and contact points, Kinesiology helps with emotion/anxiety, specific personal dietary intake and energy blocks. This method balances the whole person, which enhances health and well-being and is described as truly preventive in order to maintain good mental and physical health.

The art and science of testing the strength of certain muscles to determine areas of vertebral subluxations, neurological deficits, and certain types of nutritional deficiencies. Also known as Applied Kinesiology.

a technique in which muscular strength and balance at distant points is used to determine the site and nature of a local impairment.

The study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement. Also known as "muscle testing," it can be used to determine the root cause of a condition. Practitioners view the body as an intelligent computer that knows exactly what is wrong and what is needed to restore balance. Using certain methods, a practitioner can identify the problem area and treat it effectively. It is very effective in treating sports injuries, as they are often the result of an imbalance in the muscle structure. There are several branches of Kinesiology, including Applied, Clinical and Educational.

The study of muscle structure and movement.

The use of testing muscle strength to find products which disturb the patient's well-being. Can be used to find which foods are most conducive to health and those which may cause unwanted symptoms. It is also used to find the appropriate natural medicine such as a homoeopathic remedy.

Can determine health imbalances in the body's organs and glands by identifying weaknesses in specific muscles. By stimulating or relaxing these key muscles, an applied Kinesiologist can diagnose and resolve a variety of health problems.

The study of muscles and their movement. Applied kinesiology is a system that uses muscle testing procedures, in conjunction with standard methods of diagnosis, to gain information about a patient's overall state of health. Practitioners analyze muscle function, posture, gait and other structural factors in addition to inquiring about lifestyle factors that may be contributing to a health-related problem.

Kinesiology is primarily defined as the use of muscle testing to identify imbalances in the body's structural, chemical, emotional or other energy, to establish the body's priority healing needs, and to evaluate energy changes brought about by a broad spectrum of both manual and non-manual therapeutic procedures. It is a system of natural health care which combines muscle monitoring with the principles of Chinese medicine to assess energy and body function, applying a range of gentle yet powerful healing techniques to improve health, wellbeing and vitality.

Muscle reflex testing that identifies cosmetic or food allergies.

uses the triad of health - chemical, mental and structural factors - to describe the proper balance of the major health categories. The triad of health is interactive and all sides must be evaluated for the underlying cause of a problem. A health problem on one side of the triad can affect the other sides. For example, a chemical imbalance may cause mental symptoms. Applied kinesiology enables the practitioner to evaluate the triad's balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides. In alternative medicine, a system of muscle testing that reveals and corrects musculoskeletal imbalances and identifies food sensitivities.

Applied Kinesiology is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis.

The study of how and why human muscles move specifically during sports and structured physical activity.

Study of muscles and their movements.

Kinesiology is a system for diagnosing muscle weakness originating from mineral or vitamin deficiencies or food allergies.

The scientific study of man's movement and the movements of implements or equipment that he might use in exercise, sport or other forms of physical activity. Kinetic Energy The form of energy associatedwith the speed of an object. Its equation is: KE=1/2mv2(squared); or kinetic energy= ? mass x velocity squared. (It is obvious from the formula that increasing clubhead velocity has more potential for producing distance than increasing the clubhead weight.)

The study of the movement of body parts.

Use of "muscle testing" to determine how the body responds to physical or emotional nuances. One technique used in Kinesiology is to understand how a person responds to common allergens, such as shell fish, dairy products, mercury, and others. This is usually done by having the patient touch the allergen, and then the patient resists the pressure exerted by the practitioner by attempting to restrain the arms from being pulled down. If the allergen makes the patient weak, then he or she cannot resist the pressure. However, if element strengthens the patient, then he or she can resist the pressure

Kinesiology involves the testing of various muscles and nerves of the body in order to determinethe strength or weakness of various muscles and organ systems. It can also be used to determine how receptive the body is to various remedies and therapies, thereby assisting with the restoration of optimal health.

the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement.

Used to diagnose food allergies and other conditions using acupressure massage and testing muscle strength to check energy flow.

Diagnosing and treating a disease through muscle testing. Virtually any disease state of the body will have a structural manifestation, a specific "body language," represented by specific muscle weakness patterns. This system restores the structural, mental and chemical balance of the body through strengthening weak muscles, stimulation of meridian points and diet.

ways to obtain information from the position, movement, and tension of body parts, especially from the nerves, muscles, tendons, and joints. A diagnosis of a physical ailment can be obtained by naming the ailment, tensing a body part and noting whether or not the tension remains when the body part is depressed. kirlian photography (corona-discharge photography, electrography) : Purported means of recording one's aura. Soviet electrician Semyon Davidovich Kirlian and his wife, Valentina, developed Kirlian photography in the early 1940's. orean medicine :Oriental medicine that encompasses acupuncture and moxibustion.

a field of study that focuses on the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement.

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement. It should not be confused with the pseudoscience Applied kinesiology (AK). While an understanding of kinesiology is fundamental for the analysis and treatment of problems in the musculoskeletal system, it is not - unlike "applied kinesiology" (AK) - a stated method for the treatment or diagnosis of illness.
