What Is Kinesiology?
Listening to what the body already knows.
Applied Kinesiology is a treatment that uses muscle testing to evaluate imbalances in the body’s structural, chemical and emotional energies. These imbalances can be caused by physical injuries, negative thoughts and emotions, or dietary and environmental factors.
Our practitioners use a range of techniques, including acupuncture, nutrition and emotional release, to restore balance and improve overall health and wellbeing, working with the body’s own natural healing abilities to identify and correct what’s out of balance.

What A Consultation Entails
Understanding your imbalances.
During a consultation, your practitioner will ask about your medical history, diet and lifestyle to better understand any imbalances in the body. They’ll also perform muscle testing, applying gentle pressure to specific muscle groups to assess their strength and balance.
From there, your practitioner works to address and clear these issues, developing a treatment plan tailored to help you reach the emotional, physical or nutritional state you want to move towards, or move away from.

How It Works In Practice
Why muscle testing gets to the cause.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Applied Kinesiology uses the body’s own feedback to find where stress is being held, and works to release it at its source.
For stress, anxiety and low mood
Emotional stress leaves a physical signature in the body. Through muscle testing, your practitioner locates where a past event or ongoing worry is still being held, then uses gentle techniques to clear that charge, so the same triggers stop setting off the same reactions.
For digestion, hormones and energy
Fatigue, bloating and hormonal swings often trace back to how the body is handling food, stress and nutrients. Testing helps pinpoint the foods, deficiencies or systems that are struggling, so your plan supports the areas that actually need it rather than guessing.
For pain, posture and old injuries
Persistent pain is often a compensation pattern rather than the original problem. By testing which muscles are switching off, and why, your practitioner can address the structures truly driving the pain, for relief that tends to last longer than treating the sore spot alone.
As with all treatments at Selph Health Studios, your therapist can see and discuss your past and current treatments with any other Selph practitioners you are seeing, keeping your wellness plan cohesive and collaborative across all disciplines.
