What you'll experience
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a diagnostic system that uses muscle testing to assess structural, chemical, and emotional imbalances in the body. Developed by chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart in the 1960s, AK is based on the principle that muscle strength reflects the functional state of related organs, glands, and systems.
Practitioners test specific muscles while the patient holds or is exposed to various substances, thinks certain thoughts, or has pressure applied to reflex points. Changes in muscle strength indicate underlying dysfunction, deficiency, or sensitivity. AK views the body as an integrated system where structure, biochemistry, and emotions interact, and muscle testing provides a window into all three.
AK is used to identify food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, organ dysfunction, structural imbalances, and energetic blockages. While controversial in conventional medicine, many practitioners find muscle testing to be a valuable tool when used as part of a comprehensive assessment. It allows for rapid, non-invasive screening that can guide further testing and treatment.
What's included
Testing of specific muscles to establish baseline strength
Sequential muscle testing while introducing various stimuli (foods, supplements, thoughts)
Comparison of strong vs. weak muscle responses
Identification of substances, emotions, or areas that weaken muscle response
Recommendations based on testing findings
Possible retesting to confirm effectiveness of interventions
Who this is for
People seeking alternative diagnostic approaches
Those with multiple unexplained symptoms
Individuals wanting to identify food sensitivities without lab testing
People interested in holistic assessment methods
Those who haven't found answers through conventional testing
Anyone exploring integrative or functional medicine
Key benefits
Rapid screening for food sensitivities and nutritional needs
Identification of hidden structural imbalances
Non-invasive assessment tool
Holistic view of structural, chemical, and emotional factors
Personalized treatment recommendations
Can complement conventional diagnostic methods
Evidence & safety
Applied Kinesiology is controversial with limited research supporting its diagnostic accuracy. Some studies show muscle testing can identify specific conditions, while others show poor reliability. It's considered alternative medicine and not accepted by mainstream medicine. When used by trained practitioners (often chiropractors, naturopaths, or integrative physicians) as part of a comprehensive assessment, it's completely safe and non-invasive. Should not replace conventional diagnostic testing for serious conditions.
