Kinesiology is life coaching and consciousness coaching. What is Kinesiology? What does Kinesiology do? How can Kinesiology courses and consultations help you to improve your life, health and wellness.

From its early beginnings in Chiropractic in the 1960’s Kinesiology has evolved into an extraordinary complementary healthcare modality, one which combines Western techniques with Eastern wisdom. Stress can be defined as what we feel when the limits of our endurance (mentally, emotionally or physically) are being severely tested. Stress can be helpful and good when it motivates people to accomplish more. For example, competing in a race or accomplishing a task by the stated deadline but stress becomes a burden when we feel increasingly overwhelmed and out of control. In our busy modern day lives we all carry stress, often not consciously realising just how damaging it is. Stress can show up in physical symptoms and we become ill. Stress has a direct effect on the gut, the immune and hormonal systems, the brain and liver function. We may experience aches and pains, an inability to sleep, anxiety, a feeling of anger and frustration, indigestion, fatigue, an inability to cope, skin disorders, frequent colds, apathy, depression, feelings of hopelessness, dis-ease; the range of problems caused by stress is endless ! When we are under stress, either mentally, emotionally or physically, our body talks to us through symptoms or dis-ease. All these symptoms are a messenger telling us that something in our life is out of sync and that we are not coping. Treating the symptoms is like killing the messenger for bringing bad news. It is important to find out what the message is and what area of your life it is telling you about! Undoubtedly stress is an inevitable consequence of modern life; fortunately, the downstream damage caused by it is not. The body is designed to adapt to stressors to help maintain equilibrium and healthy functioning and Kinesiology can help to find out what our body is trying to say and why we are not adapting appropriately. When we are unable to respond to our stressful lifestyles in an appropriate way the signals between body and brain become unclear. This shows up as a change of muscle response that is abnormal via muscle testing. A Specialised Kinesiologist is able to detect this muscle response in a person and in so doing is able to find out where the person is not coping in their life. Once imbalances or blockages in the systems are identified, muscle testing can also identify the best way of correcting the imbalance specific to the individual. Kinesiology a uses a wide variety of techniques that activate the body’s natural healing ability to create positive change and self-healing leading to new perspectives and a more meaningful, healthy and fulfilled life. Kinesiology works gently to resolve the underlying cause or issue that created the problem, as opposed to treating or suppressing the symptoms. Specialised Kinesiology is a participatory process involving the client in making changes to regain control of their life and the ability to make informed choices. Kinesiologists help their clients to recognise and adapt to stressors in a way that is safe and effective. They support the health and well-being of their clients to help prevent the vast array of health issues that are associated with chronic activation of the body’s stress response.
