Health benefits of Kinesiology:
Muscle testing or muscle monitoring: These are two names for the same and are interchangeable.
A limb (usually starting with an arm) is placed so that one of its muscles is in a contracted position. The kinesiologist applies pressure to that muscle and the client is asked to match the pressure. This is not a test of strength of the muscle but of how the muscle responds to the stimulus of the added pressure. The muscle will either remain in contraction or will unlock. At no time should the client experience pain or discomfort with the testing. How the muscle responds gives the kinesiologist feedback to determine what the priority stresses are and which is the best way to address this.
Muscle testing can show what affected the meridians in the first place and indicate what is the best way to deal with that stress be it emotional, physical, environmental, nutritional , mental or spiritual.
