Kinésiologie

Kinésiologie is a complementary health practice that uses muscle testing to assess the body's responses. Developed in the 1960s by George Goodheart, a chiropractor, it combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine, anatomy, and physiology. The core principle is that muscles can indicate imbalances in the body's energy systems, which can be physical, emotional, or nutritional.

The process typically involves a practitioner applying gentle pressure to a muscle, usually in the arm, while the client attempts to resist the pressure. The strength or weakness of the muscle response is interpreted as an indicator of stress or imbalance. Based on these findings, a kinesiologist may suggest various interventions, such as specific nutritional supplements, postural corrections, acupressure points, or gentle massage techniques. The goal is to identify and address these underlying imbalances to promote overall well-being and facilitate the body's natural healing abilities. Kinésiologie is not a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis or treatment.
