Amid the hum of a bustling city, every stride and gesture reflects the intricate harmony of muscles, joints, and nerves at work. This is the essence of kinesiology, the art and science of human movement. By unlocking the secrets behind how we move, this field enhances athletic performance, heals injuries, and restores balance to our bodies. Through its lens, even a simple step becomes a testament to the resilience and strength within us all.
Kinesiology is the world’s fastest growing natural therapy. It is a highly effective and versatile healing modality suitable for addressing a wide range of health care problems in people of all ages.
Discovered in the 1960’s by a group of chiropractors in the States, Kinesiology offers an wholistic approach successfully dealing with the multitude of health issues.
Kinesiology combines traditional oriental principles (similar to those used in acupuncture and shiatsu) with a modern western health discipline called muscle monitoring to assess and correct imbalances in the body.
An American Chiropractor, George Goodheart D.C., began to use muscle testing to evaluate muscle function, posture and general body imbalances. George Goodheart realized the connection between muscle (body) and meridian (physical/etheric body) – and with that the body/energy connection was made.
In the early 1970s, John Thie D.C. systemized Kinesiology for the layperson; Touch for Health. Touch for Health became a fertile ground for many different branches of kinesiology to develop from.
Yamuna is an experienced Kinesiology practitioner and instructor. She taught Touch for Health since 1993. In 1999 she traveled to Tuscon Arizona to study with Richard Utt to include the Hologram Series of Applied Physiology (AP) into her Training schedule. She now offers Introductory courses and training in the Hologram Series of AP.
Her background includes extensive training in Deep Tissue Massage, Reflexology, Ayurveda as well as Touch for Health, N.O.T (Neural Organization technique), Applied Physiology and Neuro Energetic Kinesiology.
She has a great interest in natural lifestyles based on Ayurvedic and Yogic principles. Her personal and professional life are dedicated to personal and spiritual development.
Yamuna has found Kinesiology a valuable and effective tool, often in conjuction with other modalities or medical support, to help herself and others on the journey to wholistic health.
“We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease but rather as the process by which individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense that life is comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function in the face of challenges in themselves and their relationships with their environment,” says pioneering researcher Dr. Rollin McCraty of the Heart Math Institute.
If you are new to kinesiology you must have a lot of questions. For your convenience, we have gathered the most frequently asked questions about our studio and the kinesiology experience.
Kinesiology will help to support the body’s healing ability by identifying the factors that are blocking it’s healing process. This could be from a range of different occurrences ranging from an emotion around an event to the effects of an accident. Often, we hold on to certain emotions like anger or resentment and we may not be aware of doing so. Kinesiology will help to identify the exact emotion causes any form of blockage and helps to clear the way for the body to release the emotion and allow the healing process to take place naturally.
When you have had stressful experiences in the past whether physical or emotional at whatever level, that emotion can get stuck in the system and in response, puts the body into fight/flight mode and limits the body’s ability to heal. Even when you are structurally aligned and the related emotion has not been cleared, healing is less effective or blocked.
Through Kinesiology, a language to communicate with the subconscious can be developed. Through muscle testing the level of the body’s stresses can be analysed, simply by doing corrections using sound, flower essences, using colour and the pulsing of correct acupuncture points.
Healing can take place with progress in the situation to help the body learn from the situation and move forward- freer, lighter and with more energy. Kinesiology can also help with any physical trauma effecting your body from past experiences. The longer the trauma has been there; the longer it may take to heal.
The Physical level is the densest level of energy and the body will develop certain compensations around the imbalance e.g. calcification and inflammation. The more it has manifested on the physical side of the body, the longer it may take to reverse and to complete the healing process.
Kinesiology can help with anything that is experienced as an issue/difficulty/problem by the person.
Pain, headaches, hormonal imbalances, lack of energy, achieving your goals – investigate what blocks you from doing it.
Beliefs are a form of protection, defending ourselves, in childhood we respond to traumas with certain beliefs that later in life block us to develop our full potential in adulthood. Beliefs can be limiting.
The result of feeling lighter and less heavy, feeling less pain and hopeful about being able to change the current situation of how you fell can be felt after the first session.
After about 3-5 sessions your body will be showing sufficient results, depending on how chronic the problem is and the energy that the person puts into healing process.
Over time our body’s do deteriorated but yes, we can always improve the quality of our life.
As the body becomes responsive to the treatments less medication will be required (speak to your doctor about this first) and will make the changes to our body’s capacity to heal easier.
Kinesiology is also great for kids and animals, as well as helping with post-traumatic stress after giving birth.
For the best results it is ideally working on a trauma or stress as soon as we realise that it has been stressful and getting the support to release the stress before it becomes a disease or cause degeneration.
We can identify when the body has stress in utilising certain nutrients. Stressful experiences can block glandular function in the body and/or effect digestive processes.
We can help identify which foods the body has a reaction to and which will help to nourish the body’s healing process.
General feeling of feeling stuck and showing some sort of physical condition like being cold, having headaches or just not being able to move the way you did before. Often people come when they have tried other modalities and the issue is not resolved.
Kinesiology can work on whatever level you are at, identify what is missing to resolve trauma and release any blockages.
Kinesiology can help with the prevention of surgery and other drastic interventions and helps the body to heal after medical treatments. Providing improved healing and recovery on all levels by looking at the person as a whole and offering a very individual approach to help in the healing progress.
