These same rigorous principles apply to Professional Kinesiopractors®. We never reduce muscle testing to a simplistic 'yes/no' tool or rely on mere intuition. Our PKP™ courses offer an in-depth, holistic, and broad-based education because learning the true science and technique behind proper muscle testing is absolutely crucial. Be mindful of the oversimplified and inaccurate representations of muscle testing you often see online!
From Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr.
"Applied Kinesiology IS
A diagnostic tool that uses the neuromuscular system and other measurable parameters to aid in evaluating what is wrong and what to do for a patient.
An applied kinesiology examination depends upon knowledge of functional neurology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and biochemistry and is combined with standard physical examination procedures, laboratory findings, x-rays and history taking.
The different procedures developed by Dr. Goodheart and others in the International College of Applied Kinesiology are derived from many disciplines including chiropractic, osteopathy, medicine, dentistry, acupuncture, biochemistry, etc..., and are currently being used by doctors of chiropractic, osteopathy, homeopathy, dentistry and medicine.
An expanding body of knowledge that covers in depth the structural and chemical imbalances that are at the base of most patient’s problems.
Is based on chiropractic principles and requires manual manipulation of the spine, extremities and cranial bones as the structural basis of its procedures.
APPLIED KINESIOLOGY IS NOT
A simple yes/no, radionics or pendulum type of testing system.
Testing bottles in the hand or pills on the skin.
Testing using mental telepathy.
Using crystals or magnets as treatment modalities.
Touch for health or any of the other forms of evaluation using muscle testing as a simple yes -no answer.
A simplistic, cookie cutter approach to treatment."
