Applied Kinesiology (AK)
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a practice of
using manual muscle-strength testing for
medical diagnosis and a subsequent
determination of prescribed therapy.
According to followers of the theory, it
gives feedback on the functional status of
the body. Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form
of diagnosis using muscle testing as a
primary feedback mechanism to examine how a
person’s body is functioning. When properly
applied, the outcome of an AK diagnosis will
determine the best form of therapy for the
patient. Since AK draws together the core
elements of many complementary therapies, it
provides an interdisciplinary approach to
health care. |

In general, the applied
kinesiologist finds a muscle that tests weak
and then attempts to determine why that
muscle is not functioning properly. The
practitioner will then evaluate and apply
the therapy that will best eliminate the
muscle weakness and help the patient.
Therapies utilized can include specific
joint manipulation or mobilization, various
myofascial therapies, cranial techniques,
meridian therapy, clinical nutrition,
dietary management and various reflex
procedures. |

In some cases, the examiner may test
for environmental or food sensitivities by
using a previously strong muscle to find
what weakens it. Applied kinesiology uses
the - triad of health - chemical, mental and
structural factors - to describe the proper
balance of the major health categories. The
triad is represented by an equilateral
triangle with structural health as its base,
and the upright sides representing chemical
and mental health. When a person experiences
poor health, it is due to an imbalance in
one or more of these three factors. |
|
| |
The triad of health is interactive
and all sides must be evaluated for the
underlying cause of a problem. A health
problem on one side of the triad can affect
the other sides. For example, a chemical
imbalance may cause mental symptoms. Applied
kinesiology enables the practitioner to
evaluate the triad's balance and direct
therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides. |
