Applied Kinesiology Facilitates A Truly Holistic Approach
by Brian Butler B.A., D.O.
In 1964, Dr. George Goodheart, D.C., a chiropractor stumbled upon a remarkable discovery. Using some standard kinesiological muscle tests to analyse a patient's postural problems, he noted one muscle was particularly tight, and that other muscles opposing it tested weak. The man had suffered from long-term back pain which had not resolved after much treatment.
Kinesiology - an integrated approach for complementary therapists
by Maggie la Tourelle
Kinesiology, as well as being a complete system of natural health care in its own right, can be applied with very positive results in any therapy or walk of life. Kinesiology spans the full spectrum of health and healing from its application in the more physical therapies such as chiropractic to the more subtle domain of healing and energy work.
Kinesiology and its Applications
by Pam Bracken
The history of kinesiology, the study of muscles and body movement, is as old as Aristotle (384-322 BC). It takes in Leonardo da Vinci (1429-1519) and Galvani who, in 1780, discovered that muscular contraction was caused by electrical impulses. Then to 1964 when Dr George Goodheart, an American chiropractor, used muscle testing which dates from the 1930s to evaluate his treatments.
Kinesiology: Not Just An Allergy Test
by Johnathan Stewart
The basis of kinesiology is the use of muscle testing – holding a limb in a certain position and noting whether that position can be maintained, or not, when pressure is applied. It is incredibly simple to learn to elicit a change in muscle response but that alone does not necessitate that one is 'practising kinesiology.'

The approach using LEAP can be very effectively applied to specific learning difficulties in children and adults with consistent success, where previously medication was the most common intervention with very limited success.
LEAP for the Assessment and Correction of Specific Learning Difficulties
by Susan J McCrossin
Learning disability is an emerging problem, one that is not always apparent until the last years of school. Using the criterion of being two or more years behind on standardised tests, only 1% of 6 year olds and 2% of 7 year olds would be classified as learning disabled; however, by age 19, 25% of the population would meet the criterion.
