How Applied Kinesiology Works
Applied kinesiology is a science that, through the application of muscle tests and the contribution of all other medical knowledge, allows the physician to better interrogate the human body, to receive adequate answers and to provide the right means for the treatment of any diseases.
In applied kinesiology, a muscle, in order to be tested, must be validated as normotonic muscletherefore with normal resistance to a force against its action. It must not be neither hypotonic, i.e. weak, nor hypertonic, i.e. too strongbecause both of these conditions already indicate a pathological state in themselves.
How to assess whether a muscle is normotonic?
To find out if a muscle is normotonic, a magnet is applied to its belly. If the tested muscle yields, it means it is normal, otherwise it is hypertonic. What is the action of the magnet on the muscle? In this case, electromagnetic energy causes an alteration in the conduction of the impulses in the neuromuscular complexthus the loss of strength of the muscle itself.
Any stimulus to which the organism is subjected reaches the brain through the nerve structures and causes changes in the pre-existing state; the stimulus must be recognised, evaluated and an appropriate response must then be devised. Performing a muscle test means evaluating how the body is affected by the stimulus itself. The contraction of skeletal muscles, when stressed, occurs gradually. The strength of a muscle at the moment of contraction is proportional to the number of activated fibro-cells.
How is the muscle test performed?
Muscle testing comprises several stages that can be summarised as follows:
- the appropriate POSITIONING of the patient
- ISOLATION of the muscle to be tested
- STABILISATION of the muscle to be tested
- the performance of the test
What are scarring disorders?
Any scar can create a disturbing field and emit anomalous electromagnetic signals. The abnormal electromagnetic signals emitted by the scars stimulate the central nervous system. These reach the hypothalamus, which processes them and sends them back to the body in any of its districts, producing a dysfunction. This mechanism may be at the root of postural dysfunctions. Through this mechanism, any disturbed tissue can cause disease anywhere in the body, so a scar on a finger of the hand can, for example, cause headaches.
We must pay attention to our body's needs and question it whenever we have the opportunity. This is the only way to prevent or treat certain disorders and improving one's health. If you want to learn more about the world of wellness, we recommend reading The tools of well-being
