About Professional Applied Kinesiology
You know that you are unique. No body is exactly like you.
You deserve health care that is specific to your particular needs.
Applied Kinesiology recognises this, and enables doctors to identify what is unique about you and your health problems, and find a solution that is specific to your needs. It recognises the body's innate ability to heal itself, and realises that sometimes it needs help to function optimally and be in the best position to achieve this healing.

Professional Applied Kinesiology, a new examination method
Dr George Goodheart Jr. developed Applied Kinesiology, a new system of evaluation in Chiropractic, in the 1960's. Through his remarkable observation skills and analytical mind, Dr Goodheart found that normal and abnormal body function could be evaluated using muscle tests.
Dr Goodheart is part of the International College of Applied Kinesiology, an interdisciplinary organization of doctors dedicated to providing an eclectic approach to health care. You can visit their website at www.icakusa.com
What is Professional Applied Kinesiology?
Health is dependent upon a balance between structure, body chemistry and mental well-being. These factors are evaluated using Professional Applied Kinesiology to determine a specific treatment programme.
Professional Applied Kinesiology draws on complementary therapies of treatment, including: chiropractic, nutrition, meridian, cranial, rehabilitation, neurology, functional health care, and others.
Muscle testing
By using muscle testing as an indicator tool, the Applied Kinesiologist reveals imbalances in the body's structural, chemical or emotional factors, and identifies how well a person's body is functioning. It also allows the body to specify its preferences for treatment, and to prioritise certain issues or problems.
In general, the doctor finds a muscle that tests weak and attempts to determine what is causing the muscle to function ineffectively. The practitioner then evaluates and applies the therapy that will cause the muscle to test strong and best help the patient.
The triad of health model
Applied Kinesiology uses the triad of health model to explain health problems. The triad of health is represented by an equilateral triangle with structural, chemical and mental health as its sides. When one or more of these factors become unbalanced, a person experiences poor health.
