Kinesiology
Kinesiology is Mainly to Balance Muscle Function
One of the most characteristic of kinesiology is muscle testing, which is to bring out the weaknesses and strength of muscles and their reactions. This test is carrying a fixed order in advance and starting with the muscles called indicators. Depending on the response of these professionals will isolate and evaluate the various muscles to locate the problem. Also homeopathic practices are widely used both for diagnosis and for treatment of disease.
We have said that the doctors and physios are therefore also used the techniques of diagnosis and treatment of traditional medicine, taking into account medical history, physical examination and blood tests or other evidence. This combination of methods the physical therapist may establish the priorities of his patient, dealing first with the most important problems because the kinesiology is mainly to balance muscle function since, and serve as an example, if rights abdominal muscles weaken, the left tend to tense up too.
Like other alternative therapies, kinesiology has several strands, applied kinesiology is enjoying greater popularity and is practiced by medical professionals, while in specialized kinesiology few people have to his credit with medical studies, so I recommend that before going to consultation with the physiotherapist, or at least before starting any treatment, be sure that it has approved a kinesiology degree. You can also check with your regular doctor before resorting to kinesiology.

History of Kinesiology
The study of kinesiology, was born in Detroit, USA, when in 1964 a chiropractor, Dr. George J. Goodheart begins to analyze the interplay of physiological processes and anatomy of the human body in motion, which are the principles of kinesiology.
Applies muscle testing as a tool to diagnose and treat structural problems. It was also previously explored by Kendall and Kendall in 1949 to progress further by introducing other treatment factors.
Good heart worked alongside other chiropractors, as John Tie, who first reported in 1973 through the Kinesiology Touch for Healt (Healing Touch).
What Is Kinesiology?
That’s the question that most people do, especially when the meaning of the name (the science of movement) does not give a clear idea of what today kinesiology works. A definition may be that of a system using muscle testing as a mechanism of bio-communication, and seeks to correct any imbalances and since its inception has taken account of the overall body-mind. In kinesiology muscle is evaluated to see the level of stress consciously or unconsciously being stored. However, after enough years of working with her and later for reasons that are obvious, we prefer to say that kinesiology is to allow the entire being, including body, to develop awareness. The muscles can not respond similarly when subjected to stressful situations or when it is not. Try to remember the last time we live in a state of fear or fright. Our hearts began to beat faster and we almost had to sit because our legs are not kept us up. Thanks to the muscles we interact with the environment, and away we move, we take things we eat. Functions as basic as breathing, swallowing, blood circulation, are possible thanks to the muscles. Any “stress” is going to affect the functioning of muscles of one or another form. Normally when a muscle is subjected to a stressful situation can not maintain its contraction and weaker. Also opposite is true, that in situations of stress, muscle tension further so hard to relax later.

Kinesiology Muscle Test
In a kinesiology muscle test request that the person will contract, to strain, with a given muscle consciously. In this way we check if the muscle has a good answer or not, if she can maintain an average level of strength. When the body runs its entire compensation system intact, the slow activation of a muscle, or not perform at 100% is compensated by the rest and that small deficit is not a conscious thing. With the test isolate muscles and asked them not that they are healthy physically, which is often obvious, but if you have good communication neurologic, lymphatic, energy, etc.. In most cases there is a deficiency in muscle showing that. And so because we are always under stress, and as we said before, our carrying capacity of the stress is reflected in the muscles.
One of the systems we use is to connect the muscle to which we test with various imbalances possible and see how it reacts. This is what is known as an “indicator muscle. A muscle of stress indicator can tell us because almost anything with which he is associated. Some people from this have attempted to develop diagnostic methods. Per not have realized that we can hardly control all the circumstances that influence a person to be able to say that what we have isolated and separated from its context and that seems to generate some stress indicates the existence of some pathology.

Muscle Testing is not a Test of Strength
Moreover, by focusing on the diagnosis of the problem, have stopped paying attention to the body, the subconscious and the conscious actively involved in the interrogation, showed through the muscle test, which needed to be in balance. So it’s an educational system, in which our personal views and concepts are secondary.
Importantly, muscle testing is not a test of strength, not a competition, is a collaboration. The person conducting the test must always perform the same pressure and monitor the person that makes him not compensate with other muscles or body parts. Nor should it be painless. Actually, Kinesiology muscle testing is in quality and in quantities different from that used for example in physiotherapy. In our tests do not measure the intrinsic strength of muscle fibers are able to develop. What is valued is the quality of response.
So, for example, can move an arm, not enough that each muscle is strong in itself. It must be emitting the proper information about your position and status and should receive accurate information to indicate the neural fibers that must be activated and to relax. In addition, you must have a proper blood supply, lymphatic drainage, etc.. It is the quality of all this bio-communication that is valued.
The muscles alone are also associated with various functions, organs and meridians. We can test these muscles and see if any of them not responding properly, this will give us an idea of the level “energy” of its organo-associated function, which is why we call them “associated muscles. Using the test of the anterior muscles as well as acupuncture alarm points, we can develop a fairly accurate map of balance / imbalance of the person at that time
Kinesiology is the Science of Biomechanic Research
Kinesiologie is based on research into the bio mechanic anatomy and physiology to the locomotion of the human body to evaluate:
- how the body moves, functions and performance, and to people who move in, operation and performance falter this as much as possible to restore or improve the daily functioning such as recreation, for work or sport.
- Kinesiologist’s may act as a consultant, research or policy development in the field of human physical performance, ergonomics, or otherwise improving working conditions. Knowledge of kinesiologie can be used in the fitness industry, in hospitals, or in workplaces. Ergonomics knowledge in kinesiologie is used to evaluate and create a better working environment.The term “kinesiologie” is also used in a manner that is applied in the alternative medicine
- regarded as quackery.
- The difference is then used the term applied kinesiologie.
Kinesiology, movement therapy
The scientific study of human movement is known as kinesiology, the word comes from the Greek kinesis means movement and logos is meant as a treatise or study.
The science of movement, as some call kinesiology, is a natural therapy that rebalances and strengthens the vital energy and health improvement with therapy based on the application of muscle testing.
In practice is to identify the factors that are crippling the health of the body, conducting a test in which gentle techniques are used to analyze the different muscle reactions, which will identify in which area or organ is the blockade affects physical or emotional health organization.
This test asks the patient muscle to contract, straining a muscle consciously determined to see if the muscle has a good response or not.
Important to note that this kinesiology muscle test is a test of strength, does not measure the intrinsic strength of muscle fibers are able to develop, what is valued is the quality of the response.
For us to move a body part is not enough that each muscle is strong, it is necessary to give correct information regarding their position and state, must also be stimulated nerve fibers to indicate that they should activate and relax; in addition must have a sufficient blood supply, lymphatic drainage, etc.. It is the quality of all this biocommunication what is valued.
Kinesiology is important in maintaining the approach of treating the individual not limited to curing the disease. Everyone is different and therefore treatment must be adjusted.
Once you have located the muscle is weakened, the physio to look through the point of body therapy that strengthens the weak muscle. This point will not only help strengthen the weak muscle, but also allow the therapist to find the source of the problem. From here there is only reinforce that point with appropriate therapy, confirming the recovery in strengthening the weak muscle.
The Kinesiologist is a specialist in the maintenance of the physiological capacity of the individual and preventing its deterioration. Her training allows her to intervene in psychomotor recovery and rehabilitation through the application of techniques and procedures of physical nature, under medical advice.
Kinesiologic knowledge are applied in certain medical specialties such as Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Kinesioterapia, ergonomics, physical education and athletic training. The advantage of these applications can be therapeutic, preventive, or high performance.
Additionally, the study does kinesiology specialist can go beyond muscle testing, some currents are integrated early March acupuncture energy meridians and to establish guidelines to follow therapy.
If you’re in the mood for this kind of therapy, kinesiology is an option which can be used to harmonize body and mind.
