WEST COAST KINESIOLOGY

Kinesiology is the science of energy balancing that clears mental, emotional, physical and spiritual stress in the body, helping to remove negative patterns, self-limiting beliefs, emotional stress and physical pain.​

​

While functional kinesiologists do not treat or diagnose, they are able to assist in detecting and correcting neuro-physiological imbalances in the body; physical, chemical, emotional or memory/trauma related.

 

Using muscle reflex testing (bio-feedback), the body communicates the location of imbalance in the body system, then using Traditional Chinese Medicine and other correction techniques, kinesiology assists in clearing energy blocks to restore balance.​

 

Some of the techniques used in kinesiology include acupressure stimulation (non-invasive), neurolymphatic and neurovascular activation, sound therapy, Emotional Stress Diffusion, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Chakra balancing and flower essences.

​

Kinesiology can help with common ailments and address disorders such as:

• Adrenal health/Fatigue

• Allergies

• Autoimmune issues

• Chronic or acute pain

• Digestive issues (bloating, intolerances, reflux etc)

• Dyslexia and other learning disorders

• Emotional stress

• Fears and Phobias

• Goal setting/Confidence Boosting

• Hormonal imbalances

• Immune support (coughs, colds, sinus)

• Limiting beliefs/Personal development

• Mental health (Anxiety, depression, PTSD)

• Muscular issues (ligaments, tendons and cellular repair)

• Nervous system support

• Nutritional support

• Physical pain (neck, shoulder, back, hips, ankles, migraines, etc)

• Reproductive health (men and women)

• Skin issues (rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc)

• Sleep issues

• Speech disorders

​

How can kinesiology help?

When our emotional being perceives threat or danger, our physical being embodies the experience and can alter, physiological, biochemical, muscular and postural function to help protect and shield oneself from the perceived threats. Kinesiology helps to restore balance in the body by addressing and processing the emotional aspects that may have contributed to the physical manifestation. Our amazing bodies have the natural ability to heal, kinesiology just works to unlock and awaken that healing process.

​

Stress

 

Stress is a natural response to a perceived threat or challenge. It is a state of mental or emotional strain that can be caused by a wide range of factors, such as work pressure, financial worries, or relationship conflict.​

 

While stress is a normal and necessary part of life, chronic stress can have a negative effect on your health and well-being, and can lead to a range of physical and mental health problems.

 

Chronic stress can also lead to changes in the brain and nervous system, including decreased brain volume, changes in the structure of neurons, and impaired cognitive function.

​

Symptoms of stress can manifest in the body as: headaches, fatigue, poor sleep, teeth grinding, anxiety, depression, muscle tension, digestive issues, decreased immunity and more.
 

If you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or feeling like your body is out of balance physically or emotionally, kinesiology can help you to process emotions and reset homeostatic settings to restore your health.

 

Physical Ailments and Muscular Pain
 

'Our physical being is an embodiment of our emotional state.'

​

Our muscles, much like our emotional mind, retain memories. These memories of stress and past traumas stored in the body can result in decreased neurological integrity (breakdown of communication between brain and muscle). Symptoms of pain then emerge as the body’s crisis response to these imbalances, resulting in aches, pains, inflammation, tissue damage, joint misalignment, calcification, or other physical deviations.

​

Think about how your mood affects your posture. If you feel confident and happy, you often stand taller with your head held high, shoulders back and chest open. However, if you are feeling defeated, this might lead you to walk with slumped shoulders and a rounded spine as your gaze travels downward toward your feet. Similarly, a state of fear or stress might make someone more tense and rigid, causing muscular tension in the neck, shoulders and back with elevated shoulders.

​​
Addressing the emotional root cause can help alleviate pain and inflammation with these common issues and more:

​

• Neck and shoulder pain

• 
Postural imbalance

• Back pain

• Frozen shoulder

• Tennis elbow

• Knee problems

• Joint pains

• Limited range of movement

• Scoliosis related pain
