Kinesiology

This therapy, developed in 1964 by an American Chiropractic doctor, stems from the theory behind the knee-tapping test of reflexes. Each set of muscles is thought to be related to different parts of the body, and when the muscles are working well so is the body as a whole. Having isolated imbalances, deficiencies or physical problems, the practitioner will attempt to redress these by gentle fingertip massage on pressure points on the body and scalp. Kinesiology can also be used in a preventive capacity.

Notes: Kinesiologists claim to be able to treat many conditions, especially effective allergies and food sensitivities. Also digestive problems, chronic fatigue, ME, back pain and phobias.
