Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a hands-on practice in which the practitioner gently tests how your muscles respond to light pressure, then uses touch or movement. You lie or sit comfortably, fully clothed, and it combines Western techniques with ideas from Eastern traditions. Practitioners believe muscle responses show where the body holds stress, but no reliable studies show kinesiology helps any health problem, and muscle testing should not be used to find allergies or intolerances: see “Kinesiology: what the research says”.
