What are kinesiologists actually doing when they push on all those arms and legs?
To the untrained eye, kinesiology can look like we're simply pushing on arms and legs.
But there's actually a structured process happening.
We use muscle testing to identify how the body is responding, establish a goal, explore the stress associated with that goal, and identify what may help bring the system back into balance.
Here I'm demonstrating part of a much longer foot and ankle balance with Cathy.
The gastrocnemius initially tested unlocked. After applying the indicated correction, we retested — and the muscle tested locked.
This is just one small glimpse of the process students learn to use throughout the KSA Diploma of Kinesiology.
