Kinesiology | Personal Training | NLP | Pellowah

It sounds too good to be true. How does it work?
By using muscle feedback, a Kinesiologist will ask your body what the underlying stress or issue is that is blocking your progress.

Similar to a polygraph, a kinesiologist will use your muscles to tap into your brain and uncover what is going on beneath even what you may be consciously aware of.

What is kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a natural therapy that uses a process called muscle monitoring to ask the body what it needs to heal.

How does a kinesiologist do that?
A kinesiologist will place your muscles into a range of positions and ask you to hold your muscle in that position while they place a light pressure on the muscle feeling the response of the body in relation to the pressure.

The light pressure used is not a strength test, it is only a way of gaining feedback from the body as to what is going on within the body.  Hence a muscle imbalance is just as useful for the Kinesiologist as no muscle imbalance, as the response of the muscles are used to direct the treatment, allowing the Kinesiologist to understand what is going on within the body.

How often should I see a Kinesiologist?
Since every person is different from the next there is no set rule for this. Treatments for one person for a similar issue may relate to very different issue for another person, although the presenting symptoms may be identical.

Also as one person may be able to integrate a learning in one session, another person may not wish to deal head on with an issue that is currently in their life and so may take several sessions to find a way to integrate a learning into their life.

The plan of treatment and session frequency will be discussed with you in your initial consultation.  Be aware there is no right or wrong way to structure your kinesiology sessions and wellness plan.

It is however a good idea to see a Kinesiologist to maintain a forward momentum in your health and wellbeing routine.

How does your body heal itself, you may ask...

One of the main premises of Kinesiology is that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, the thing that is stopping us from being in full health is us.

I know you are asking yourself. Is this guy for real?

Ok, it sounds like a far stretch but hear me out, if all the cells in your body get replaced every 3 months to every 7 years why then do we have disease and chronic illness? There is stress stopping us from changing the patterns of the dis-ease or illness and therefore re-creating it, what if we could find out what that stress was and get rid of it so the body could heal itself. Well that's where kinesiology comes in. By literally asking your body what it needs to heal and where the stress is in your body we can help you to de-stress your illness or dis-ease.

When you come to see me I take a holistic approach to your health and well being. Also with your treatment, the work that I do helps to free up your body's natural response to illness and disease and helps your body to deal with whatever aliments are causing you distress or pain, Kinesiology or another therapy I tailor my approach to you! ...all my clients leave feeling more balanced and energised.

When you book with me, know you are in good hands, it comes down to the quality that shows though in my approach, attitude and knowledge. The way I work, every helpful detail adds to the experience making sure you are feeling relaxed and more at peace than before you arrived, from my basic fitness intake or assessment to the more advanced Kinesiology Treatment ... You are in good hands.
