What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology (pronounced kin-easy.ology) was developed by Dr. George Goodheart in 1964. It is a way of identifying any imbalances a person has by monitoring their ability to hold their muscles against light pressure. Each muscle is related to an organ, and also to an energy pathway called a meridian.
Finding imbalances.
Together the muscle, organ and meridian form a circuit’. If there are chemical, emotional, structural or energetic stresses affecting the circuit, muscle tested will feel spongy, indicating an imbalance.
Once an imbalance is found the Kinesiologist uses the muscle test again to get feedback from the person’s body about what factors are aggravating the imbalance, and what will help to re-balance it.
Discovering what’s involved and what will help.
Each time a relevant factor is introduced the muscle’s response changes, a bit Like a switch. So imagine a spongy muscle as being off’; if the person then thinks of an emotional stress and the muscle is suddenly able to hold against the pressure, i.e. it switches on’, that indicates that particular stress is involved in that imbalance.
Similarly, if a particular nutrient, when placed in the mouth, causes the muscle to switch ‘on’, we know it will be helpful. The same process can be used to find related structural problems, and energetic factors that are involved.
Truly holistic treatment.
Based on this feedback the Kinesiologist and client can discover exactly what is involved in the imbalance and devise a treatment plan. It may include nutritional supplements, various emotional stress release techniques, Bach Flower remedies, acupressure, gentle structural realignment, Chakra balancing, light touch, firm reflex massage, suggested lifestyle changes and more. The exact treatment you receive depends on the feedback your body gives through the muscle test about what it needs to return to health.
There is no guess work with Systematic Kinesiology
Enjoy improved health.
You do not have to be a health nut, a food freak, or an exercise buff to take control of your life and to enjoy improved health and well-being.
Kinesiology practitioners are dedicated to prevention as well as to alleviating the condition. They are able to help clients much more effectively if each person commits to self-help and improving their own health regime.
How many sessions?
This depends very much on your complaint, how long you’ve had it, and how fully you participate in your own treatment, i.e. making the suggested lifestyle and dietary changes that often form part of the treatment plan. Usually, however, most people feel an improvement in three to six visits. It is then recommended that you have routine balances two to three times a year.

HOW TO GET WELL FAST
Brian H. Butler
First to pioneer Advanced Kinesiology in the U.K.
SPEEDING YOUR RECOVERY
Kinesiology gets people better fast. The vast majority of people who attend a qualified Kinesiologist find that the symptom patterns they originally had, quickly begin to disappear. This does, however, depend on one key factor. Those who get well fast are those who follow the “treatment plan”. What does that entail?
Treatment Spacing.
It is best to follow the advice of your own Kinesiology practitioner on when and how often you would be wise to attend for further treatments. A.S.K. Kinesiologists are trained to understand the need for closely spaced treatments at the beginning. This is to avoid the valuable progress that is usually made in the first sessions being lost. The body quickly reverts to its old patterns if the changes are not reinforced before they fade away.
This usually means visits once or twice a week initially, and as the symptoms and conditions are beginning to resolve, then perhaps fortnightly, three week or monthly spacing will ensure a complete recovery.
Health Problems are Lifestyle Problems
Your kinesiologist might suggest several lifestyle changes, such as assessing your sleeping position and habits, addressing some of the mental attitudes which might be holding you back, your exercise routines or lack of them, perhaps the ergonomics of your working position, Following these suggestions forms an important part of your treatment as they are the “homework” which will ensure you get maximum benefit from your sessions.
Nutritional Supplements
The tablets, capsules and other supplements that you might be recommended to consider taking, are an extremely important part of the overall treatment plan, and can be a major factor in your speedy recovery. Look upon them as being concentrated foodstuffs. Take them when you eat food, rather than on their own, they are absorbed better, and do you more good that way. You will often get more benefit if the tablets are chewed.
Certainly supplements are not cheap, and even when money may be a consideration, one might be tempted to skimp in this area, and that can be a real false economy.
The reason that it would be unwise, is the nutritional advice, including your avoiding certain foods, is another aspect of your “homework”. It helps you to capitalise on the benefit of your balancing treatment. Just as in schooldays, skipping homework usually meant lower grades or failed exams. In the case of nutritional support and dietary changes, if they are skipped, then recovery is slower, and you will undoubtedly need more hands-on treatments, which cost more in the long run.
Capsicum (Cayenne Pepper)
Cayenne pepper is one of the most powerful herbs we use to help people back to health. It releases an enormous amount of vital energy, helps to clean out the blood vessels, stimulates circulation, heals stomach complaints, reduces indigestion and has many other benefits. However, cayenne pepper is hot stuff!
It is important to take it exactly as recommended. Cayenne pepper is encapsulated in gelatin capsules which dissolve in the stomach. To avoid any adverse burning feelings, or any impression of indigestion, it is imperative to take them in the middle of your meal. Imagine you are going to sandwich the capsules in between your food. Eat one third of your meal, then take a capsule or two, and then eat the rest of your meal.
You may get a feeling of warmth, and that is excellent. After a few meals, you will notice nothing from one capsule. That is the time to increase the dose to two or three capsules with each meal. Follow the ongoing advice of your Kinesiologist, but this way you can work up to taking as many as six or even more at each meal, without getting any burning sensation.
There are no contraindications against taking Capsicum in quantity. The only side effect is a temporary burning sensation if you do not follow the advice above, but even this is not harmful, just uncomfortable. Cayenne is used to help stomach ulcers to heal, even if it stings, it’s only doing you good!
The Lleo-Caecal Valve.
Over ninety percent of those who attend our clinic have an lleo-Caecal Valve involvement, regardless of their initial reason for coming to see us. This flap valve between the small and large intestine, when dysfunctional, can allow toxic fecal matter to “poison” the body by entering the small intestine, and then being reabsorbed. This is one of the primary causes of continued long-term poor health. Keeping this valve in fully functioning condition is one of the specialist treatments performed by Kinesiologists. Because this valve can be caused to malfunction due to emotional as well as dietary stress, it is imperative to make sure that it is “balanced” on a regular basis until your health patterns stabilise.
Please follow the dietary suggestions in the ICV leaflet. Avoid raw food, rough, and spicy foods for two or three weeks to give the habitual pattern of imbalance a chance to be resolved.
Dietary changes.
The few major dietary changes that most people have to look at in order to speed their recovery are not always easy to adjust to. We certainly realise that fact. And it is vital that you follow diligently any dietary suggestions that the muscle testing bio-feedback may indicate in your case.
We do realise just how difficult this can be, and you may even get some form of “withdrawal symptoms” when you stop eating certain foods like wheat, or drinking coffee. We ask you to “bite the bullet” and put up with these temporary unpleasant effects, so that your recovery might be as swift as possible. These effects do pass off after a week, or two, or three.
Wheat and Wheat Products
Once of the most difficult staple foods to avoid is wheat. It is now included in so many manufactured foods as a filler or a thickener. There is really a best way, and that is to avoid all manufactured foods for the time being, or at least read all labels very carefully. “Modified starch” can be another word for wheat. Rye bread invariably contains some wheat, unless it specifically says 100% rye, and even then, you may be wise to have it muscle tested. Brown Ryvita is usually all right.
We are always happy to test any food you are not sure about. Just bring it with you on your next visit. Because of ‘biochemic individuality”, everyone is different, and what is one person’s meat is certainly another individual’s poison. Many people are being “poisoned’ by the toxic wastes their body produces from common staple foods.
You may get mood swings when you first stop eating wheat products. If you do, the chances are that they were causing you to experience more anxiety, irritation, depression, or other types of negative feelings. This will soon pass as you get better.
Dairy products.
Milk, cheese, and other dairy products can cause all sorts of problems for some people. They are mostly to do with the skin and mucous. So eczema, acne, and other skin conditions, and “colds”, coughs, catarrh and other mucous related conditions are usually relieved when dairy products are eliminated.
It is usually found that goat or sheep’s milk and cheese can be tolerated when anything, except yoghourt, made from cow’s milk cannot. Most fermented or bacillus containing yoghourts are very beneficial. And it depends on the individual, so again, bring anything you want to check on your next visit.
Sugar, Your Energy and Hypoglycaemic Tendencies
Pure sugar does not energise you as much as it actually saps your energy. When you get tired, and take something sugary, certainly it may give you a momentary lift, but the downside is that your pancreas overreacts, and the excess insulin produced forces your blood sugar down. This then causes the release of adrenalin to get it back up again, so life becomes a see-saw of ups and downs of energy. The quicker you can wean yourself off sugar in all its forms except for occasional treats the better. By the way, sugar is “hidden” in many products as the British government in its wisdom does not require manufacturers to put sugar content on the label unless it exceeds 8%!
Breaking this pattern of highs and lows in blood sugar is not easy if it has gone on for a long time. M.E. sufferers typically find this hard to correct, but Kinesiological balancing, taking the essential nutrients, like Chromium and Vitamin A can speed the process dramatically. Once your blood sugar begins to stabilise, you will be surprised at how much better you feel.
Eating something every two and a half to three hours helps to stabilise the blood sugar. Many people are afraid that if they eat so often, they will put on weight. This does not happen if the foods taken say at 8.OOam, 1O.3Oam, 1.OOpm, 3.3Opm, 6.3Opm, and 9.3Opm, are all small in quantity except for main meals, and consist mainly of protein, vegetables, fruit or some complex carbohydrates like whole grains. (But not wheat!)
Tea, Coffee and Colas
Drunk to excess, anything over one or maximum two cups a day, or even one glass of Cola can gradually erode certain aspects of your health over a long period. They are all very dehydrating, the tannin and the caffeine and other chemicals they contain can have a powerful effect on the nervous system.
If you find it hard to “kick” a caffeine habit, drink a glass of water in between each coffee you take. Gradually reduce the number of cups you drink, as stopping suddenly can certainly cause headaches, shakiness and other withdrawal symptoms.
Water
Establishing the habit of drinking at least four, to six to eight glasses of water daily (away from food!) will result in an improvement in your overall health. The body is 70% water, and needs that replaced regularly. All the electronics of the nerves, the meridians of the body, and the gastrointestinal tract can only function properly and efficiently when we are not dehydrated.
Adrenal or Endocrine “boost”
In this fast paced world, most people are exhausting their nervous system and endocrine glands. These ductless glands control our metabolism, our energy, our reactions to stress; also emotions like depression, “nerviness”, and anxiety, need specific feeding to restore their balance. Kinesiology can pin-point the Endocrine gland which needs specific support.
Take: One gram of Vitamin C, 500mg of Vitamin B3, one B- Complex, and chew the selected glandular, three times a day for a month. This in addition to any other supplements.
Hormone Balancing Drink
This is for P.M.S., menopausal symptoms, breast congestion or
pain, uterine fibroid, mood swings, bowel/skin problems, etc.
For hormone imbalance, make this “shake” in your blender:
Chew the mixture as you drink it.
Four ounces of organic tofu. One small pot of live yoghourt
Half a small pot of soya yoghourt, any flavour
Two tablespoons of whole linseeds (chew these too)
Two tablespoons of flaxseed (or linseed) oil
Two pieces of soft fruit (Banana, pear, strawberries, plums,
peaches etc)
Plus a dash of fruit juice or water to make it a drink, blend all.
This is best be taken for two weeks on and two weeks off.
Maintenance Treatments.
The absence of symptoms does not necessarily mean the problems are no longer there. Most conditions, like back ache, for instance, can “lurk’ in the form of some unrealised muscle imbalances, which can be a potential cause of sudden pain. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can also slowly but surely, take someone off balance to the point of symptoms returning.
However carefully we live, we are constantly exposed to stress which puts us out of balance. These imbalances, if ignored and unresolved, can lead to compensations, which can ultimately lead to symptoms and disease.
The solution to this is “Maintenance” treatments. Those who decide to allocate time and funds to maintaining their health on a monthly or hi-monthly basis find their health continues to improve. Attending monthly as a routine has enormous health benefits. Certainly it costs in time and money, anyone who has done it for a year or two will attest to its effectiveness as a preventive measure. Your health is your most important asset. It is worth a lot to preserve it. |
TESTIMONIAL
Not just skin deep
I have at different times in my life suffered from sudden out breaks of painful rashes. During my childhood these where diagnosed as food poisoning which I was told later was not the case (although you could say an allergic reaction to food is poisoning). When I was in my early twenties my skin broke out in Uticara which I suffered from for the next 15 years. I was prescribed Anti Histamines by my GP and went to an Allergy Clinic but nothing control it. Then a friend told me about Kinesiology and a gentleman she had seen. It was for me amazing, suddenly I had met someone who had the understanding and time to help. The first thing his tests showed up was that I was milk intolerant, then he worked out that my body was not dealing with the lead in the atmosphere. As a child I suffered from sore throats for which GP prescribed antibiotics, which I then started to react against. He believed these had worn away the lining to my gut which allowed the lead to pass through into my body. This he solved with what for me was a magic potion and for the next 23 years I was free from any sort of rash.
I then had eczema break out on my shins, my GP prescribed steroid cream and a moisturizer which contained it for nine months when it then exploded onto the rest of my body. My GP then prescribed steroid tablets, by the end of the course of tablets the eczema was a lot worse and I was in a very bad place. I then decided to try Kinesiology again and went to see Hilary. Over the next five months during which I had five appointments the eczema slowly improved. It was a little like peeling an onion, each visit uncovered something else until my skin became totally clear. What a relief to go from wanting to rip my skin off, to not being embarrassed about the sight of my skin and feeling comfortable in it again. I can not stress enough how much better it feels.
I have followed up with an appointment to keep my body in balance and plan to do so again next year.

To wheat or not to wheat
It has been 3 years since I made a conscious decision not to eat wheat. Not doing so has in short revolutionised my whole life. I know that sounds extreme, but it’s true.
For as long as I can remember, since the age of 15, I have had a headache every day, by the afternoon of that day. I tried ascertaining what the problem was and, as you would, turned to conventional medicine first, I consulted my General Practitioner, but all she said was that it was stress and that I should just take painkillers/paracetamol.
The headaches went on for many years and over the years I have consulted a number of complementary medicine specialists including Traditional Chinese Medicine (Chinese herbs and acupuncture) and homeopathy, none of which seemed to work.
I am a qualified solicitor and have been in formal education since the age of four and been in paid employment one way or another since the age of 16. I have, at times in the past, held as many as three jobs at one time in order to make ends meet, so the concept that stress was the cause of my headaches was not implausible, as I have worked hard to achieve what I have wanted my whole life.
Being a solicitor and having studied Information Technology including computer programming, I would say that I am logical, rational and sceptical and do not accept things without a reasoned argument. Although over the years, I have consulted various specialist, I would say that I was not easily persuaded to their discipline of medicine as I felt that I need to be convinced first, rather than just jumping on the bandwagon and accepting their form of medicine just because it was en vogue/fashionable.
I then considered consulting a kinesiologist. I must confess as with all the other specialists that I had consulted over the years; I was sceptical and did not hold out much hope as I had lived with daily headaches for 25 years. However, it was in 2006 after Hilary Frances provided some treatment that she discovered what no one else had, that I had an intolerance to wheat.
At first, when I tried to give up wheat, it was a half hearted attempt as I still ate wheat, but when I realised during the course of my treatment on Saturday 11 November 2006 that the wheat was affecting the myelin sheath (the lining that covers the spinal cord, extends along its length and up to the brain) and that my brain function was being affected, right there and then I made a conscious decision to take the matter seriously and use my best endeavours to exclude wheat altogether from my diet.
I will not deny that it was difficult and there were even times where I thought that I would rather go without food than eat wheat.
By taking the matter so seriously, I realised that by not eating wheat, my headaches disappeared, I felt less tired, (I was always feeling absolutely drained even when I slept a lot, similar to how one feels when they are anaemic, not just a normal level of tiredness, but tired to the point of feeling sluggish and always having that overwhelming desire to sleep), my eyes did not ache anymore when driving in bright sunlight even when wearing sunglasses, this often lead to headaches as well and I found if I drove long distances, I would need to do this at night rather than during daylight hours.
I also felt a strange feeling within myself, as though a weight had been lifted from me, almost like my blood was now flowing more freely within/through my body. I felt energised and for the first time in my life I did not feel sluggish and tired and the overwhelming urge to sleep all the time.
I can honestly say that not eating wheat has made a huge difference to my life.
It has now been 3 years since I gave up wheat. As I said, it was difficult to find alternatives to wheat at first. This has required a re-education on my part, to seek out alternatives, but it can be done and I have done it. Eating rice, potatoes and other cereal crops and being creative, imaginative and organised, making sure you have wheat free lunches (as there is usually nowhere that will provide wheat free food) and snacks with you at all times (as, if you are out shopping for instance, most people may choose to stop at a coffee shop and the usual coffee/tea accompaniments are biscuits and cakes all of which I used to love).
As the years have gone by, I have found that it has become easier, as the supermarkets are stocking more and more wheat free food e.g. pasta, a variety of biscuits, crackers and bread. The products taste better and better to the point where many of my friends who do not have wheat allergies/intolerances say that they do not taste any difference in the wheat free products such as pasta.
When I have lapsed and eaten wheat, I have found that even after all of this time, it still affects me. My kinesiologist, Hilary says that it weakens me, so e.g. if I have a cold/flu coming on and I eat wheat it will make it worse and sometimes if I stay away from the wheat and eat well, as I usually do, get some extra rest, then the cold/flu does not come on at all or is much milder an infection than it would have been. I also try to avoid any beauty products, body creams and lotions containing wheat.
For those who say that it is all in the mind, then I would say that the change to my life is as different as night and day and I am glad that I sought out the expertise of a kinesiologist as she gave me a solution when no one else could.
If you have any of the symptoms described above or anything else that you have suffered with for a long time, then I would urge you to be persistent, to find an answer/solution as there may be one out there, it’s just that conventional medicine may not have the answer. Be careful, but adventurous in what you consider, it may just hold the key to you feeling wonderful or realising that you never have to feel the way you have been feeling again or anywhere near as bad as you have been.

I’ve lived with the pains and the inability to walk properly, to run or to ride a bike for nearly 30 years ever since I was hit by a car as a child. My right leg stopped growing but the rest of me carried on and I ended up seriously misaligned. In the end I had major surgery to shorten my kIt leg, by 3 ½ inches, and to prevent it growing any further. A bit of a slip with the knife during one operation severed the nerves in my knee which tended to mean that hands on the leg resulted in both of us screaming. me in pain, the toucher from where I had lashed out. Not many have touched my knee and walked away unscathed. But, as surgeons had forecast life in a wheelchair by the time I was 20, at 40 1 considered myself lucky and was content to put up with it. even though over the years my body has taken a bit of a hammering in one was or another.
This year. I whacked my knee on the door of a camper van whilst holidaying in New Zealand. By the time I got home three weeks later. I was nearly crippled with pain, I couldn’t walk without a stick and stairs completely defeated me. After two months of this, I was discussing knee replacements. Not only was I in a lot of pain, I was exhausted from dragging myself around. I was bad tempered, stressed at work, at home and I didn’t go out at all. I looked Grey and everyone let me know it.
I was booked in to see Hilary with a friend who was having a session as a birthday gift. I had vaguely heard of Kinesiology. I’d been to Chiropractors, had reflexology, Reiki and all sorts over the years so I was ready to give it a go.
I had been through some sort of muscle testing before and had used Bach remedies on previous occasions, but I had never experienced something so all encompassing as this. It was astonishing to see the results immediately and to feel so much better as we went on. So many things made sense. The wheat intolerance. the need for minerals and fish oils. OK, some of the hands on stuff was “uncomfortable”, to say the least, but for the first time in nearly 30 years, I willing let someone not only touch my knee, but massage the scars. I was nearly in tears but the release when it was ov& was astounding.
I didn’t limp out of the treatment room nor did I walk — I bounced. After getting home, I walked unaided into town, up and down 40 steps, no stick, no handrail, no pain. I haven’t touched the stick since. I was wobbling a bit just before my second treatment but that visit re-aligned what was out. By my third visit, all was in line and Hilary starred work on some other areas in need, a damaged kidney and an old whiplash injury — I told you my body had been through the wars. I have been having a monthly stress-go massage at work for nearly 2 years Following my first visit to Hilary, the masseur touched my neck and said “where’s it gone?”, the knots that she worked on each visit for 20 minutes had disappeared.
Over Christmas, we walked miles and miles each day, inc — who wouldn’t walk to the end of the road ! I have tons more energy and will be started at the gym and in the pool this week. My skin has cleared up, my face looks fresh and the terrible bloatedness has gone. I had to detox after the Christmas intake of mince pies and cakes but I’m back on the wheat free diet and feeling better for it.
And calm ? I got through the trials of Christmas without a blink I never raised my voice at all over the holiday period and when faced with two family crises this week, not a thing. .1 was rational and composed
and dealt with them.
So, has Kineisology changed my life? Undoubtedly.
Would I recommend it ? I have, to all my friends.
Will I be going again? Absolutely.
