The therapy of Kinesiology is derived from the connection between the 'subtle' energy (as mentioned in the Introduction) and the muscles of the physical structure. This energy flows along specific pathways within us called meridians - as acknowledged in acupuncture. There are fourteen meridians, each one being responsible for carrying energy to particular organs or systems of the body - for example, the heart, the intestines, the stomach, and so on.

In addition, it has been discovered that each meridian is also directly connected to one or more particular muscles of the physical structure. Therefore, by applying gentle 'muscle testing' to any given muscle of the physical frame, we can establish which meridians are not working to full potential. Once we find such a meridian, we can then determine which of the major components of health are causing its malfunction or imbalance, thus giving information on the condition of the structural, chemical or emotional imbalances related to that muscle and its associated organ and meridian. From there, we can provide the body with whatever correction techniques are applicable.

A whole variety of correction techniques can be applied depending on the nature of the imbalances discovered. For example:

Note: Muscle testing is used to establish what supplements (vitamins, minerals etc.) are specifically needed by the individual in order to restore nutritional deficiencies, clear out toxins, or encourage improved function of an organ or system of the body. This ensures that any supplement given will be effective in doing the work required for that particular person. What suits one person will not necessarily work for another!
