Applied Kinesiology: Muscle Testing
Take the Holistic Approach
What is Muscle Testing?
Applied Kinesiology, also known as muscle testing, is a non-invasive, holistic approach to evaluating your body’s health and function. At True2Form Chiropractic, we use manual muscle testing (MMT) to assess how well your nervous system and muscles are working together. By applying light pressure to various muscles, we can identify weaknesses, imbalances, and areas of tension in your body.
This method is an essential part of our natural diagnostic process, as it helps us pinpoint not just the symptoms but the root causes of your discomfort. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, nutritional deficiencies, or muscle weakness, muscle testing provides critical insights into your overall well-being.
Kinesiology has been shown to help with:
- Chronic muscle weakness and imbalance.
- Nervous system disorders.
- Stress-related muscle tension.
- Poor posture and alignment.
- Nutritional deficiencies and sensitivities.
- Headaches and migraines.
- Joint pain and stiffness.
- Muscle tension and fatigue.
Comprehensive Evaluation for Optimal Health
How Muscle Testing Works
During an applied kinesiology session, we evaluate the strength and resistance of different muscles in your body. Strong muscles indicate balance and proper function, while weak muscles indicate the muscle is being inhibited by an underlying issue which may not be apparent through traditional exams. These muscle responses offer biofeedback, helping us understand how your body responds to certain stressors and movements.
This process is highly personalized, allowing us to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your body’s needs. Whether used alongside chiropractic adjustments or as a standalone therapy, muscle testing is an invaluable tool in promoting long-term healing and balance.
