Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
During a consult manual muscle testing is used, with client fully clothed, to evaluate whether a muscle is in balance.
This involves applying gentle pressure to the muscle whilst the client resists the pressure, not to determine if someone is strong or weak, purely whether the muscle switches on or not.
If the muscle doesn’t switch on there’s an imbalance and various techniques can then be used to restore balance & function:
Neuro-vascular & neuro-lymphatic points – points in the body that relate to the lymphatic and vascular system, massaged to clear and boost circulation, lymphatic drainage & improve muscle function.
Emotional Stress Release techniques (ESR) – emotions and stresses have a huge impact on muscle function and in turn our overall health and often found to contribute to the root cause of imbalances in the body.
Tapping, Visualisation and affirmations are used to restore balance and relieve stress and held
Nutrition support – dietary & lifestyle changes often need to be made with supplementation to support the body healing and rebalancing itself.
Meridian clearing – Meridians are energy pathways through the body according to Chinese medicine when these become blocked or energy stagnant, imbalances can form within the body. Meridians are rebalanced through light touch.
Acupressure point massage & holding – these are specific points along the Meridians to stimulate energy flow that are held or gentle pressure applied whilst the body responds and adjusts itself.
Each muscle relates to a Meridian and in turn to an organ so specific imbalances can be identified and rebalanced bringing overall.
What to expect from treatment?
During a treatment you can expect a personalised, approach specific to your exact needs, there is no one size fits all treatment as every body is different with different needs.
At your initial consult we talk through your health history taken from the health questionnaire you are asked to complete prior to your consult and we run through your 7 day food diary where bespoke diet and nutrition advice is given. Your current symptoms and goals are also discussed and we tailor the session to exactly match your needs.
At follow up consults we will have an initial chat to see how you have been since the last treatment and agree on what your goal is for the session and the treatment is then tailored exactly to your needs.
You will spend the majority of the treatment on the treatment table, fully clothed and under go gentle muscle testing & various techniques are used to bring the body back into balance .
Allow up to 90minutes for your consults. the investment for your initial consult is £125 and each follow up consult is £95.
You will leave each consult with:
Bespoke diet, nutrition and lifestyle advice tailored exactly to your needs.
Supplementation advice to support your nutritional needs whilst your body comes back into balance.
Empowerment in taking back control of your health by having more understanding & knowledge of your body and how to move forward in a positive way to bring your body back into balance..
What can Kinesiology help with?
So many elements of modern day living can send the body out of balance.
Due to this, the main areas I work with are:
Digestive issues, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux, candida, parasites & more
Immune building & resilience including post viral recovery support
Energy imbalances, chronic fatigue, burnout & sleep issues
Food testing for allergies, intolerances & sensitivities
Hormonal imbalance - irregular periods, peri/menopause, thyroid issues, migraines
Nutrition & Lifestyle support
Stress & emotional issues
Structural, postural & muscular issues
What is Kinesiology?
Kin - easy - ology is a holistic form of natural health care, where the whole person is treated not just fire fighting symptoms. Gentle muscle testing is used to read the energetic bio feedback system from the body to find where health issues stem from. For a muscle to switch on and fire it needs blood flow, lymph flow, nutrition, hydration, structural support and for emotions & stresses to be balanced. IF any one of these aren't in balance the muscle won't switch on and this is where we gain the knowledge of what your body needs to get back into balance.
When we experience symptoms, such as acid reflux or headaches for example these are the body's way of giving us a nudge or sometimes shouting loud to get our attention that there is an imbalance & energy drain affecting our wellbeing. The headache could simply come from needing to hydrate more or tight neck & shoulder muscles, or it could indicate higher levels of stress from a situation or person.
Once found and fully addressed during the treatment, the imbalances are able to be cleared and work on preventing them from returning with bespoke advice given on diet, nutrition, lifestyle and movement.
Sometimes this will take a course of treatments and this will always be discussed and agreed
Kinesiology is beneficial for everyone and usually people feel the difference from the first session and your treatment plan will always be discussed fully and agreed upon at your initial consult.
