Holistic Kinesiology

The therapy that lets your body talk.

By Charles Lightwalker

. What is holistic Kinesiology? It is a wonderful, exciting, life changing system of promoting growth, healing and beneficial change into your life. Wow! Is it really? Yes. How do I know? Well, from my own personal experience and my clients... When I went to see a Holistic Kinesiologist, I went into the room feeling like I was low on energy, & stressed out. I came out of the room feeling like I had been plugged into a battery charger. That was the start of my Holistic Kinesiology (HK) journey. Is this typical? Well, yes and no. Yes, people make wonderful changes, but not everyone does so instantly. People respond to it at the pace, which is right for them.

How does HK work? HK is based on the premise that your body knows what is right for it. It works in the body's energy system. To discover exactly where in the body's system changes need to take place, a gentle pressure is applied to the muscle and the response is monitored. This indicates where the stress on the body's system is located, and is used by the practitioner to identify the required treatment. There are no set treatments, so if you and your friend both come with the same set of symptoms you would go away having completely different treatments. Why? If we went to the doctors we would probably get the same prescription. Yes, but HK treats the person not just the symptoms.

What do you mean? Well, take for example you and your friend, both experiencing migraine headaches. Well you are both different people, what has happened in each of your lives which has led you both to develop migraine is different, so the treatment you both require will be different. Oh, I see, I'm not a migraine headache going to the surgery; I'm me coming to see you, as an individual not just a set of symptoms. Yes, exactly, with the added benefit of it being your body that decides what it wants so that each treatment is personalised. What kind of things does HK treat? Well anything really as it treats the person not just symptoms. It's probably best if I give you two examples. For instance one woman came to see me with panic attacks. Now you would think that her problem would be emotional, stress of some sort. I suppose so. Well, when I tested her two thirds of the cause was emotional and psychological, but the other third was due to a physical cause. She had an allergy to cows milk, and cheese. This was in effect the last straw for the body and it tipped her over into having the panic attacks.

HK identifies the allergy or intolerance problem and then does something about it; which is what we did in the first session. When she came back for the second session 3 weeks later, she had lost the bloating and puffiness associated with having an allergy. Additionally, she had been complimented for loosing weight and looking so well. Wayne, a truck driver, had broken his wrist badly and it had not healed and instead had developed Sympathetic Reflex Dystrophy. In consequence, two or three months after the break, his driving wrist was still swollen, stiff, painful and mottled. He came to see me to identify supplements to support his body's healing. His body wanted me to tackle the problem more directly. We completed one energy correction and he phoned me the next morning to say it was 95% better overnight.
