Question
I currently receive counselling from a psychologist – can Kinesiology help me when I’m already receiving treatment.
Answer
Kinesiology can make a session with your psychologist more effective as it enables you to connect with the awareness and insight behind the conditions that you’re currently experiencing. Kinesiology is a complimentary therapy and when used alongside another treatment can improve the quality and progress of the treatment.
Question
Many people ask how Kinesiology works. Firstly, what does muscle monitoring mean?
Answer
Muscle monitoring or testing is just the ‘tool’ used to determine if the energy in a muscle is flowing correctly or if there is a blockage. While not a strength test, if there is a blockage, the muscle will demonstrate a weakness. Each muscle in the body is a part of a greater system – the meridian system according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Kinesiology can be understood as a combination of ancient wisdom and the more recent Western approach to health. Another great thing about Kinesiology is that it can access the energy flow in all muscles in the body. Think about that lower back weakness, the tight shoulders, you sometimes experience.
Question
Kinesiology claims to help many conditions such as physical pain, stress, depression, digestive problems – how can this be?
Answer
The physical, mental/emotional and chemical/nutritional aspects of our bodies are all intertwined and Kinesiology works on all of them at the same time. As an example, consider the extremely busy lives we tend to live these days balancing work, relationships, family etc. There never seems to be enough time. While many may thrive on the ‘busyness’, it usually comes at a price – Stress.
If we are experiencing stress, we generally feel tension begin to tighten shoulder and neck muscles. Our emotions may become less than happy or constructive. Tightness in muscles may eventually throw our posture out of alignment, trigger headaches, and sleep problems and/or adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalance. Has a relationship – work, partner, family, time management, overload or all of the above contributed to the stress? Digestion problems can ensue as we can begin to skip or rush meals, grab fast food and/or otherwise be eating while feeling far from relaxed.
Question
I feel like I need some help with an issue causing me anxiety – how many sessions would I need.
Answer
Generally speaking, four sessions. You could expect to feel the benefit of a Kinesiology treatment after one session. However, it’s important to continue, as while some issues may be resolved in the first session, there will be more underlying issues feeding into the current condition. Think of an onion and the layers being peeled from the top. To get to the source of the issue, there will be a few more layers to take care of. Remember, we can carry issues for many years.
