Health Kinesiology (HK) is best described as an advanced
and integrated system of BioEnergetic Kinesiology (the general term for all types of kinesiology, coined
by Dr. Scott in 1997). HK is also a type of Specialized
Kinesiology,
although we prefer not to use that term. HK does use systematic
manual muscle testing or muscle monitoring with a light touch,
and includes concepts from acupuncture and acupressure as part
of its procedures. HK is part of Complimentary and Alternative
Medicine (CAM), as a holistic health, or healing
modality. HK focuses
on health and wellness. Energy
Psychology fits within the HK framework
very well, as HK, when still a new method of kinesiology, developed
an extensive system of procedures to work optimally with people
psychologically and spiritually, physically and emotionally, biochemically
and nutritionally, environmentally and ecologically.
HK is not Applied
Kinesiology or Touch for Health, TFH (or its more recent name, Touch for Health
Kinesiology, TFHK). As HK pre-dated them, neither is it Applied
Physiology, Edu-K, Edu-Kinesthetics or Educational Kinesiology,
Brain Gym, NAET, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), Clinical Kinesiology,
Three-In-One, One-Brain, Professional Kinesiology Practitioner
(PKP), Neural Organization Technique (NOT), Behavioral Kinesiology
(BK), nor any of the other dozens of variations and schools of
kinesiology. HK also works with animals, although HK is definitely
not veterinary medicine.
HK is frequently
used to work bioenergetically with people who complain of: Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD, or ADHD), hyperactivity,
learning disorders, dyslexia, various types of brain dysfunction,
Autism and
its variants such as Asperger’s Syndrome. Allergies and intolerances
to foods, pollens, dust, animals, organic chemicals, drugs, and
other toxic materials. Geobiology and Geopathic Energies,
including electromagnetic fields (EMF) and various earth energies.
So-called “autoimmune
diseases” such as Arthritis, Multiple sclerosis,
Hashimoto’s.
Metabolic and nutritional problems, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities,
Environmental Illness, addictions, like drug, alcohol or other substance
abuse, infections. Eye and vision, ear and auditory, and other sensory
function issues. Psychological and Emotional Stress, phobias and
fears, relationships, and other psychic issues. Almost everything. |
