Kinesiology Kinesiology fuses Eastern ideas of energy flow with Western principles of posture and muscle testing. Through muscle testing the kinesiologist gathers information from the body regarding the flow of energy or “chi” through the meridians. The meridians are channels that run through the body and provide vital energy to all the organs and cells in the body. If the energy is blocked it manifests into physical, emotional and mental stress, affecting posture, energy and attitude. The muscle test monitors the integrity of the electrical pathway from the brain to the muscle fibres and the flow of energy through the meridians. Our body's energy system, or meridian system, is finely tuned to respond to stimuli, and is naturally inclined towards finding a balance, so that we may experience free-flowing energy and vitality. Unfortunately we do not always experience this natural state of being, due to the stresses and demands we place on our bodies and minds. The kinesiologist will use muscle testing to assess the flow of energy in the body by asking the body questions and monitoring how the muscle responds. The kinesiologist listens to the body's information and will employ various correction techniques to facilitate the natural flow of energy and re-establish your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual equilibrium. These correction techniques may consist of: Massage Massage therapy is a beneficial physical therapy that can assist the body in restoring and maintaining range of motion in joints and reducing joint and muscle pain. It is also an excellent treatment for headaches and tension, insomnia, and emotional and mental tension. Massage encourages the circulation of blood and lymph throughout the body, bringing oxygen and nutrients to areas of the body that may have a build-up of toxins due to over-exertion, pain or injury, or a sluggish lymphatic system. In this way massage is also beneficial for detoxification, and can aid the recovery process from exercise. Types of massage available: Remedial massage: For injuries, chronic pain and tension, this massage is specifically tailored to your condition, using a combination of deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy. A trigger point is often called a "knot" which forms in the muscle and can cause pain and restriction of movement. Relaxation massage: For those who are stressed out, whether due to mental or emotional stress, this type of massage will relax the nervous system, allowing the body and mind to rest and revive. Pregnancy massage: A pregnancy cushion may be used, allowing you to lie face down with space for your belly, or if you prefer, you can lie on your side and be supported with extra cushions. The massage will address all the aches and pains associated with pregnancy, such as lower back pain, sciatic type pain, swollen legs and feet, breathing difficulties and headaches. Massage throughout pregnancy may benefit the birth process, as it relaxes both mother and baby. Reiki Reiki is a form of energy healing whereby the practitioner channels universal (Rei) energy (ki) through to the recipient. The energy is channelled through the hands as the hands are laid on various parts of the body, such as the head, neck, chest, stomach, legs and feet. Reiki works on a very deep and subtle level of the body's energy system, and goes to where it is needed the most. It is beneficial to everybody, especially those who are too physically or emotionally frail to receive another type of treatment. It is a completely safe and non-invasive treatment that can be used in conjunction with any type of therapy.
