Kinesiology: What It Is & How It Helps You
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a gentle, non-invasive tool used to assess your body’s response to certain foods and environmental factors. It works by monitoring subtle changes in muscle tone when different stressors are introduced.
This feedback helps me understand which foods may be adding stress to your system and which are better tolerated.
Why I use Kinesiology?
I use kinesiology as a gentle, non invasive, quick tool to support my knowledge of food intolerances and allergies, which I have developed over a period of over 25 years. I have used this method successfully as a tool to confirm my findings , which I record based on a client’s symptoms, case history, diet habits etc.
The muscle testing is used at the second and subsequent sessions , to check for foods that may still be causing a reaction, while at the same time , confirming foods that are tolerated by the body.
It is a supportive tool only – it does not diagnose medical conditions and does not replace conventional allergy or intolerance testing.
What to Expect During a Session
- You’ll remain fully clothed and comfortable throughout
- I will gently assess muscle response using light reflex testing in your right arm while lying down.
- There is no pain or discomfort – it’s a very calm process and no needles or patches are used. It is a quick and non invasive method
- You’ll receive a summary of the foods we tested and clear next steps
Important to Know
- Kinesiology is not a medical test
- It should always be used alongside your personalised nutrition plan and any medical advice you’ve been given
- If you prefer not to use kinesiology, we can tailor your programme using other nutrition-based methods
FAQ
Is it the same as a medical allergy test?
No. Kinesiology is not a diagnostic or medical test and does not replace conventional allergy or intolerance testing. It is simply a complementary tool to guide your diet plan.
Is kinesiology accurate?
It works by detecting subtle stress responses in the body, which many people find helpful when making dietary changes. It is not a clinical diagnosis and should always be used alongside professional nutrition guidance and medical advice where necessary.
Do I have to do kinesiology?
No. If you’d prefer not to, your programme can be tailored using other nutrition-based methods.
Is it painful?
Not at all – it’s very gentle, with no needles, blood, or discomfort.
Will I have to wait for the results?
