Applied Kinesiology (AK) is an integrative health care system that views the body’s good health as a balanced Triad. The three components of interest are the Physical, Chemical, and Mental. Through it’s use we are able to evaluate and address your current state of health.

These principles were discovered in 1964, and were refined over the past 45 years by the late Dr. George Goodheart, DC, and the dedicated group of healers whom he inspired.

By drawing on the strengths of various methods of healing, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and naturopathy, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of your body and it’s needs. This lets us avoid the trap of symptom-chasing and address the underlying cause.

Therapies utilized may include:

•Specific Joint Manipulation/Mobilization

•Myo-fascial release/ART

•Meridian Therapy

•Cranial Techniques

•Clinical Nutrition

•Homeopathy

In general, the applied kinesiologist finds a muscle that tests weak and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. The practitioner will then evaluate and apply the therapy that will best eliminate the muscle weakness and help the patient.

Therapies utilized can include specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management and various reflex procedures.

In some cases, the examiner may test for environmental or food sensitivities by using a previously strong muscle to find what weakens it.

Applied kinesiology uses the - triad of health - chemical, mental and structural factors - to describe the proper balance of the major health categories.

The triad is represented by an equilateral triangle with structural health as its base, and the upright sides representing chemical and mental health. When a person experiences poor health, it is due to an imbalance in one or more of these three factors.

The triad of health is interactive and all sides must be evaluated for the underlying cause of a problem. A health problem on one side of the triad can affect the other sides. For example, a chemical imbalance may cause mental symptoms. Applied kinesiology enables the practitioner to evaluate the triad's balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides.
