Kinesiology: A Wonderful Healing Art

The word 'kinesiology' derives from the Greek word kinesis, which means 'motion'. In more academic usage kinesiology is used to refer to the science of the study of muscles and the movement of the body. Holistic Kinesiology goes deeper than definition. It is healing tool.

Dr George Goodheart, an American chiropractor, first used the word 'Applied Kinesiology' to denote the system of applying muscle testing to both diagnose and treat health disorders.
There are different branches or systems of kinesiology, and Applied Kinesiology now refers to the parent system as taught by the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK) in U.S.A. and other parts of the world. A very useful definition of kinesiology, in its holistic sense, is one given by The Kinesiology Federation in the United Kingdom:

The same method can identify factors which may be contributing to such imbalances. The body's natural healing responses are stimulated by attention to reflex and acupressure points, and by use of specific body movements and well-being. Kinesiology, as a therapeutic tool, is highly effective, gentle and non-invasive, it is completely devoid of iatrogenicity; apart from that, is very affordable, and can be classified among those therapeutic tools whose wonderful results are usually unbelievable when first mentioned to those who have never experienced it. The great beauty of kinesiology is that it finds healing applications in a wide variety of health disorders, both physical and non-physical. Kinesiology is not only a tool for healing, it is also a tool for self- actualization and goals-realization. This is not surprising in view of the fact that these pursuits rely on life-energy. Many world-class athletes and sportsmen and sportswomen who have been fortunate to have kinesiology balancing before their events went on to break their own records. In business and academic life, kinesiology is finding increased application in maximizing potentials, stress management, and enhanced learning. We're not surprised that in its short years as a healing modality more and more people are turning to it either as an adjunct to other therapies or as a stand-alone health discipline.
