What is Applied Kinesiology?
Applied Kinesiology or AK is a diagnostic tool developed by George Goodheart, DC in the 1960's. The technique uses manual muscle testing to diagnose subluxations and their chemical, structural, and emotional causes. AK is extremely valuable to wellness doctors because it can identify the underlying causes of stress and disease in the patient's body and give the patient guidance on how to eliminate or correct these stresses.
AK uses several different techniques to help remove subluxations and their causes. These techniques include: spinal adjustments, meridian therapy, cranial adjusting, manual treatment of reflex points, extremity adjustments, manual soft tissue techniques, nutritional testing, emotional techniques, brain balancing, gait correction, and more. Every patient will not require every technique, and it is part of the doctor's job to decide which techniques fit the needs of each individual patient, as well as educating the patient about how the technique works.
