What is kinesiology
(Pronounced - Kin-easy-ology)
Kinesiology is a way of identifying imbalances within you by monitoring your ability to hold a specific muscle against light pressure. Each muscle is related to an organ via an energy pathway called a meridian, therefore there is the stomach meridian, liver meridian, large intestine meridian etc.
During the treatment, you lie clothed on a table and one of your arms/legs is placed in specific, easy positions to isolate a particular muscle. You are then asked to resist gently applied pressure by me for a few seconds, it will then be released.
This is not a test of physical power or strength, if effort is involved to hold the position it means your muscle isn't firing optimally thereby reducing the energy efficiency for that muscle and the related meridian feeding the organ. A treatment plan is devised specifically for you and correcting the imbalances may include a combination of Firm Reflex Massage, Mental Goal Balancing, Accupressure, Chakra Balancing, Gentle Structural Realignment, Nutritional Supplements and Bach Flowers. Food intolerances may also be indicated through muscle testing and therefore a change of diet for a period of time may be required. Life style changes may also be encouraged.
What is Massage?
Massage is the manipulation of tissue using a variety of pressure generally used with oils, wax or balms to help work your skin, tissue and muscles. It can have a powerful impact on the health and functioning of your body and has beneficial effects on virtually all body systems: Cardiovascular system, Lymphatic system, Nervous system, Muscular system, Respiratory system, Digestive system, Skin tone and also many Psychological benefits.
During the treatment, you are undressed as is appropriate for the massage (underwear is left on) and are kept covered and warm with towels apart from the section of your body being worked on at any specific time. The pressure of the massage may be light or deep depending on your health requirements. Organic blended oils or wax/balms will be used in accordance to your symptoms.
What are Homoeobotanicals? (what a word!!!)
Homoeobotanical Remedies (Hbs) are a synergistic blend of potentised liquid herbs. These remedies work with your body's own immune system, stimulating it into action to treat specific areas of the body.
Hb's main actions are at a cellular level. First they purify your system by opening up the body's own natural drainage channels. Then the components of the selected herbs target the problem area to activate and commence healing. They then enhance the body's level of assimilation of nutrients, thereby speed the healing process and boost energy levels towards vibrant health. They can relieve many acute and chronic health conditions.
