ABOUT KINESIOLOGY

MyRa uses several healing modalities including Kinesiology.  Here is a background to this amazing therapy.

Kinesiology encompasses holistic health disciplines which use the gentle art of muscle monitoring to access information about a person's well-being. Originating in the 1970's, it combines Western techniques and Eastern wisdom to promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Kinesiology identifies the elements which inhibit the body's natural internal energies and accessing the life enhancing potential within the individual." (Definition approved by the Australian Kinesiology Association in 1999.)  Kinesiology began in the US in the work of 1930's 'human movement' or Kinesiology academics. Chiropractors soon found the muscle monitoring techniques useful and began to apply them when working on muscle function in their patients.

In the early 1960's, a Detroit chiropractor Dr. George Goodheart made the breakthrough that pushed Kinesiology to a whole new threshold. He found that muscle monitoring could also access the functional status of other physiological systems.  Goodheart researched further, exploring the subtle energy pathways described in Chinese medical literature. He found this premise held true. Goodheart had discovered a valid entry pathway into the information held as energetic patterns within the human body. He could quickly access the same information the Chinese had deciphered.

Muscle Monitoring gave them a way into evaluating the integrity of many different systems. As research progressed, the techniques grew to include the meridian system (for energetic flow), Reflex Points (for vascular and lymphatic function).

At this point Kinesiology entered a totally new paradigm.  Kinesiology included a mechanical approach which has now expanded to include ‘Chi’ or energy pathways and anatomy, creating a holistic approach to this therapy. Kinesiology now serves as an umbrella-term for a rapidly expanding suite of specialized modalities. It is now practiced in over 50 countries. What ties the different modalities together is still a reliance on muscle monitoring as the basic feedback mechanism into the human "bio-computer".

The remarkable efficacy of kinesiology lies in its ability to specifically trace the imbalance, identify where and why function is blocked and then to facilitate a release that honours the person's own healing process.
