“The body heals itself in a sure, sensible, practical, reasonable and observable manner. ‘The Healer Within’ can be approached from without. The opportunity to use the body as an instrument of laboratory analysis is unparalleled in modern therapy; if one approaches the problem correctly, making the proper and adequate diagnosis and treatment, the response is satisfactory to both the doctor and to the patient.” Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr., founder of Applied Kinesiology.
Applied Kinesiology is a unique diagnostic and therapeutic system used by healthcare practitioners. This technique listens to the patient’s body and uses the patient’s own nervous system to address neurological imbalances that are specific to the patient. Applied Kinesiology uses manual muscle testing to evaluate the body’s structural, chemical and mental/emotional health. This technique is effective in finding the root cause of issues rather than merely addressing symptoms.
