Applied Kinesiology (AK) is an examination method using standardized tests for individual body muscles. By measuring the “changes in strength”, a diagnosis of the muscle’s reaction to stimulation, substances and emotions can be gained.
About 35 years ago, the American chiro practitioner George Goodheart D.C. discovered that this muscle test can produce a functional diagnostic statement about the patient’s responses. These may include positive factors (remedies, medicines, manual therapy, acupuncture) as well as negative factors (allergies, incompatible and toxic substances, negative emotions, malpositions, jaw joint disorders, etc.).
