Aims of Applied Kinesiology
To restore the balance of structural, chemical and mental factors which together unite to form the 'triad of health'. Health is composed of structural, chemical and mental factors which must be equally balanced producing the 'triad of health'. When a person has ill health, at least one of these factors is involved and often two, or all three.
The principle of Applied Kinesiology (AK) is to analyse and check all three factors and treat any or all that are disrupted. An example of this is a person suffering with a long-term intestinal irritation. Nutritional balance in the body will be severely disrupted due to malabsorption problems and possibly long term use of antibiotics. Low back pain will be evident due to the dual nerve supply to the low back and intestine and there will be stress-related elements that further exacerbate symptoms. |
What to Expect when Going for a Treatment
A wide variety of muscle tests on the patient in order to establish areas of dysfunction. AK gives a detailed insight into body function but it must be emphasised that it is used in conjunction with standard diagnostic tests whenever relevant - X rays, physical diagnosis, history, blood tests etc.
Treatment may involve any combination of manipulative work, guidance in self-treatment, nutritional support, homeopathic remedies and treatment to aid stress-related problems.
In addition, an AK practitioner may be able to address many other functional and systemic disorders from which people increasingly suffer in modern day society:
Applied Kinesiology is used to treat individuals rather than diseases, and so each treatment programme is unique for that particular person.

In addition, an AK practitioner may be able to address many other functional and systemic disorders from which people increasingly suffer in modern day society:
- allergies, including asthma, eczema and hay-fever
- recurrent ear, nose , and throat infections
- hormone related disorders
- symptoms of PMT and menopause
- irritable bowel syndrome
- post viral syndrome/ME
- food intolerances
- sleep pattern disorders
- childhood disorders including dyslexia and behavioural problems
