Kinesiology: Applied kinesiology is based upon the fact
that body language never lies. The opportunity of understanding body language
is enhanced by the ability to use muscles as indicators of body language. It is
an elaborate system of ostensible diagnosis and treatment whose basis and focus
is on muscle testing.
Detroit chiropractor George J. Goodheart, Jr., developed the
first application of Kinesiology (the origin and insertion technique) in 1964.
He theorized that muscle groups share "energy pathways" with internal organs
and that, therefore, every organ dysfunction is discoverable in a related
muscle. Testing muscles for relative strength and tone supposedly taps the
body's "innate intelligence" and enables practitioners to detect specific
dysfunctions. Application of kinesiology encompasses: "clinical nutrition";
Craniosacral Therapy; "dietary management"; homeopathy, including classical
homeopathy; meridian therapy, especially acupressure and acupuncture; and
reflexology.
