Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a system of natural health care that combines manual muscle testing with with the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine and energy balancing. It is a way of actually talking, and listening, to your body and allowing it to tell you why it is having problems and also how to deal with them.

Kinesiology is based on the principle that muscles are related to certain meridian energy lines that run through the body. Each meridian line has its own path, relates to a certain muscle group, and contains the life force energy, often called Chi. For a body to be healthy, energy must flow correctly around the body – any blockages in the flow will cause health problems.

Kinesiology testing is done by putting a muscle in a certain position and then applying light pressure at a certain point. If the muscle and related meridians etc are working correctly, then this muscle will remain strong (locked) and resist the pressure. If however there is a problem with the muscle or any parts related to it, then it will be weak (unlocked). This is an indication that the body is not functioning as well as it could be. The Kinesiologist will then use various methods working on lymph glands, spinal reflexes, Neurovascular points, meridian energy lines, etc, to try and balance the body. When that part of the body is balanced again, then the muscle will remain strong (locked).

For a person to be in perfect health, a body needs to be balanced and have three things working in harmony - the Anatomical (structural/physical makeup), the Psychological (mental/emotional makeup) and the Physiological (Nutritional/chemical makeup). These three items form a health triangle and if any part of the triangle is out of balance then it affects the others.

Kinesiology works by getting to cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. Once the cause is known the body can work towards getting well again.

During a treatment various items could be used, such as homeopathy, crystals, flower essences, testing for toxins/allergies, colour, vitamins, minerals etc. There are many things that can be utilised by the body in its recovery journey.

Even if you have no health problems at present, a Kinesiology balance will give you more energy and will strengthen your body to enable it to be more resistant to possible future illness.

It can also improve posture as it helps the muscles to support the structure correctly.

Stress release – Stress occurs in all our lives, and could be caused by something as simple as the amount of traffic on the road on the way to work. When we are stressed our brain does not function as it should. Kinesiology can help with this by releasing the stress and enabling us to deal better with it on the next occasion. Stress is something that we cannot completely avoid, but we can learn to cope with it in a different way.
The technique can also help with a simple mental block, such as exams, interviews etc.

The Lymphatic system is part of our overall circulatory system. It acts as a drainage system, cleansing the body of toxins and also supplies hormones, proteins, fats and lymphocytes to all cells. Lymph produces a quarter of the white blood cells that fight infections.

Neurovascular points – There are several reflex points, mainly on the head, which relate to the cardiovascular system. Holding the relevant point increases blood flow to specific organs, muscle and glands.

Meridians – meridians run up and down the body and carry the life energy.

Spinal reflexes are on the spine with relevant points relating to each muscle. Most of our nerves radiate from the spine. The relevant reflex point being rubbed will help to clear a blockage in the system

Cost is £50 per session

Testimonials

Diane has been working her magic on me for over 10 years. I remember the first time I saw her she taught me how to breathe properly using my diaphragm, up until then I had been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks and shallow breathing. This technique really helped me.

Since then I have benefitted in many ways and whenever I am feeling out of balance or unwell I know who to see. It is incredible how Diane can communicate with my body far better than I can and I am still fascinated by how kinesiology works. I am forever thankful that I met Diane. She is one of the kindest, most wonderful, talented, caring people that you could ever hope to meet. There have been times when I have felt so out of sorts yet a session with Diane leaves me balanced, calm, contented and peaceful. Diane you truly are an angel on earth and a beautiful soul. Thankyou for helping me heal and feel balanced and smiling on both the inside and outside .
