Kinesiology is a holistic therapy that balances the mind, body, and soul. It encourages the natural flow of energy and aids in healing by pinpointing stress within the system, which can manifest as muscle ailments over time.

A kinesiologist will assess your postural patterns using techniques like foam rollers and trainer-assisted stretching to help you gain more mobility. This is essential in reducing back pain and increasing range of motion.

Muscle Testing

During muscle testing (also known as applied kinesiology), your practitioner can ask your body “yes/no” questions and evaluate the response through the strength of a specific muscle. A muscle will remain firm when the question rings true but falter with weakness when the answer is false.

Muscles in your body constantly turn on and off to help you move, speak, digest food, circulate blood, breathe, and so forth. Muscle testing allows the kinesiologist to access this communication channel between the body and your nervous system.

A kinesiologist can also test for food sensitivities using this technique. If a particular food is being ingested and hurting the body, it will be reflected by a weakening of a particular muscle. This is an excellent tool for those trying to change their diet and become healthier. The kinesiologist will recommend changes to your nutrition to support you in this process.

Emotional Release

Kinesiology therapy Warwick RI is holistic and looks at the body as a whole-physical, emotional, and energetic. The kinesiologist will ask many questions about your lifestyle, nutrition, habits, thoughts, and feelings to understand what is causing you pain, low energy, or other symptoms.

Kinesiologists use static (long holds), dynamic, and trainer-assisted stretching techniques to increase the flexibility of your joints and muscles. By doing this, you can avoid injuries and enable your body to move freely through its range of motion.

Kinesiology can also help with reducing emotional stress. By pinpointing imbalances in the body, kinesiology encourages the natural flow of energy and promotes self-healing. Suppose your kinesiologist finds that you are holding on to stress from the past. In that case, they will use gentle muscle monitoring to access your subconscious mind and address the issue using motivational interviewing. For example, if you have shoulder pain, your practitioner may release the muscles around it, massage the meridian and then look at how to deal with the emotions that make you feel stressed, anxious, and sleepless.

Reflexology

A kinesiology practitioner will also balance your body using various techniques and exercises. These may include stepping on unstable surfaces such as wobbly exercise balls or foam pads, balancing on one foot, or shifting weight to build core strength.

Reflexology involves applying pressure to particular points on the feet, much like acupuncture. There are several theories on reflexology, but the most common is that pressing a point on the foot sends a message to the brain, which then transmits to the corresponding organ or muscle.

This allows the body to become aware of emotional stress, which can be addressed. Stress is the root of many conditions that have a physical origin. Unchecked, it can weaken the body, affect sleep and energy levels and eventually cause illness. Reflexology can help to alleviate this and help you to live a healthier life.

Nutrition

The kinesiology balance process goes underneath the conscious symptoms and identifies the original cause of your health issues. Holistic kinesiology uses muscle monitoring to find and correct the stressors, releasing blockages in the body’s energy flow so that it can truly heal.

Your kinesiologist will use techniques like nutritional supplements, removing food types or chemicals from the diet; reintroducing healthy foods in new ways; balancing your energy through energy reflexes (using gentle acupressure on specific points of the head, body, and feet); flower essences; stress release; visualization and positive goal setting.

The main aim of a session is to help you to get back to a state of optimum health. Your body is naturally designed to self-heal; as long as you are balanced, most health problems will resolve. Stress can manifest as a physical, emotional, or biochemical problem and interfere with your body’s ability to function and repair itself.
