This ensures you get the most Benefit out of your sessions with your kinesiologist and start really reaching your potential.
How does Kinesiology work?
Each of us is special, unique and different. We all have our own personal bio-computer that has been programmed by both our genetic make up and our life experiences. That bio-computer tells our body how to function. Body posture, for instance is a reflection of muscle activity which is depicted by this bio computer. The way we stand, the way we walk, how tense and uptight our shoulders are or the down-turn of the lips, speak louder than any words about our life experience.
The holistic nature and connection of the different parts of our body also gives further insight into an individuals life experience.
The function of the muscle testing that we use in Kinesiology, is to obtain a specific readout of an individual. This allows us to identify where there are particular stressors that are causing the system to work less effectively and find the factors that will improve it’s function.
For example, unequal muscle activity Usually expresses itself as pain or a knotted-up muscle.
Instead of working directly on the knotted up muscle, the Kinesiologist tests all muscles opposing the tight muscle and strengthens any weak or unlocking muscles, reinstating the equal pull between the muscles. The techniques used may include reflex points, nutritional support, exercise, or an emotional component. These aspects will bring the body back into a balanced state where everything is again working synergistically.
When all aspects of our lives are balanced, we feel well, everything flows and we achieve our potential with ease.
What will I experience?
Although a PKP practitioner follows a protocol, the techniques used to reinstate your body’s balance are specific to your needs.
All kinesiology sessions are carried out fully clothed usually lying face up on a massage table. Many Kinesiologists will give you a preference as to whether you prefer to have your session sitting, lying or standing.
A PKP kinesiologists tool kit has a varied range of techniques. You may experience techniques that focus on mental/emotional aspects of your wellbeing, including your subconscious, perceptions and thoughts. You may also experience techniques that reinstate the structure of the body eg. posture and flexibility. You may experience techniques that use nutrition or environmental factors to help reinstate your bodies balance. As Kinesiology is based on TCM concepts and balancing the meridian system you may experience techniques that may work on these subtle energy fields of the body to improve energy, vitality and clarity of mind. The entire process is an active process, where you as the client may have to discuss aspects of your life, do an exercise, rub a point or take note of the changes in your body and mind.
Will you heal all my health conditions?
A kinesiologist does not diagnose treat or prescribe any known condition. Our aim is to reinstate the bodies own innate process of healing and homeostasis. we focus on reducing the stressors that are causing the imbalances in an individual. At subtle levels, the body is already aware of what is needed to facilitate healing. What kinesiology is able to do, in a therapeutic sense, is to access that information in order to assist the natural healing process. Many people have experienced profound improvements in their health that they were not expecting due to the life changing sessions they have experienced with a practitioner.
