 APPLIED KINESIOLOGY can be defined as the clinical application of the study of movement and function.

 Functional Neurology

 Diagnostic of the body‟s central integrative state through the detection of direct or reflex manifestations within the structure or function of the muscular system. 4  These functional aberrations may pertain to the:

 Muscular  Neurological  Vascular  Osseous  Lymphatic  Respiratory  Digestive  Endocrine  Acupuncture / Meridian systems. 5 Therapies to induce or restore individual normal function include but are not limited to:

 Chiropractic adjustive therapy  Cranial techniques  Therapeutic massage modalities  Reflex therapies  Acupuncture techniques  Exercises and stretches  Nutritional supplementation  Emotional support or modalities Disease  Lifestyle changes Health With the aim of decreasing cumulative noxious stimuli below threshold and allowing the body to heal itself 6

 Applied kinesiology (AK) is a continually evolving system which provides the doctor with the skills and knowledge to purposefully, systematically and logically ascertain the optimal treatment of the patient.  AK embraces the work of all individuals and disciplines who endeavor to diminish the suffering of humanity. AK attempts to unify such diverse knowledge and techniques into a usable scientific system for one purpose:

To bring patients to a higher level of health and help them to actualize their potential. 7 APPLIED KINESIOLOGY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE SESSION 7

1. Approximate the origin and insertion. 2. Avoid bony contacts. 3. Adequately stabilize the patient. 4. Instruct the patient in which direction to push or pull. 5. Do not overpower. Initiate patient‟s contraction with your test, then steadily increase your pressure for three (3) seconds. You are measuring the ability of the muscle to “lock”. 14 KEYPOINTS OF MUSCLE TESTING

6. Be aware of operator prejudice 7. Observe if the patient is trying to change the parameters 8. Observe if the patient is holding breath 9. Keep the patient‟s hands off body 10. Coordinate timing so that doctor and patient initiate test simultaneously ACUPUNCTUREGAIT PULSE ANALYSIS POINT ANALYSIS 15

 In AK there are four objective criteria 1. Postural Analysis 2. Temporal Sphenoidal (TS) Line 3. Gait Analysis 4. Acupuncture Pulse Point Analysis

 Along with a thorough history and standard examination procedures  Muscular dysfunction may be due to specific Meridian imbalances 16

AMC CSF 17 THE MERIDIAN SYSTEM

 5th factor of the Intervertebral foramen (IVF)

 An encompassing energy arrangement within the body  Along with the 7 major Chakras comprise the “Aura”

 Chiropractors have been accidentally influencing the meridians since the first recorded adjustment in 1895

 “A good doctor restores health; a great doctor prevents illness from occurring.” 18 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

 Acupuncture philosophy - humans are one with the universe and all life is permeated with a differentiated, but Single Life Force. (Chi, Prana, Spirit)

 Chi circulates along pathways called Meridians  Balanced energies = Health  Imbalances = Disease

 Trauma, stress, improper nutrition can cause imbalances  Treatment includes stimulating certain points along the Meridian to direct the flow of Chi and restore harmony. 19 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

 Acupuncture has been used for several thousand years  All temporal experiences have opposites that merge and compliment each other to create balance. I.e. hot/cold, day/night, male/female...  These complimentary opposites are known as: Yin (female, moon, negative, deep) & Yang (male, sun, positive, superficial)

 1960‟s Mao Tse Tung invited Western doctors  1966 Goodheart introduced acupuncture into applied kinesiology 20

BASIC CONCEPTS OF ACUPUNCTURE

 Primary intent is to prevent disease  Oldest reference is the Nei Ching written around 2650 BC  Four Basic methods of treatment: 1. Stimulation of points to balance energies 2. Dietary changes and use of herbs 3. Spinal Manipulation 4. Meditation and introspection 21

THE LAWCRANIAL OF FIVE IMBALANCES ELEMENTS

 Everything in the world and the human body is broken down into five elements.

1. Fire 2. Earth 3. Metal 4. Water 5. Wood

 Certain elements give rise to others; some elements destroy different elements. 45

THE LAWCRANIAL OF FIVE IMBALANCES ELEMENTS

 Each of the 12 meridians are on one of the elements.

1. Fire - Small Intestine, Heart, Triple Warmer, Circulation Sex 2. Earth - Stomach, Spleen 3. Metal - Large Intestine, Lung 4. Water - Kidney, Bladder 5. Wood - Liver, gall Bladder

The elements relate to different colors, seasons, emotions etc. 46

CRANIALCOMMAND IMBALANCES POINTS

 Every meridian has five Command Points that correspond to each of the five elements.

 These points are used to balance energy between muscles / organs with regard to the Five Element Law.

 Treat the element point of the excess element on the deficient meridian. 47

 Axons of Sympathetic and Parasympathetic motorneurons give off collaterals which synapse on alpha-motorneurons and go to muscles at the same segmental level.

 Skeletal muscle motor neurons can be affected by stimulating afferents from the viscera.

 Therefore, through specific manual muscle testing we can functionally examine and influence the Endocrine System. 67 APPLIED KINESIOLOGY PROCEDURES FOR FUNCTIONALCRANIAL IMBALANCES ENDOCRINE

 We can influence the somatovisceral pathways by stimulating mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors through Cranial techniques, Acupuncture, Chiropractic Adjustive Therapy and Nutrition.

 September 18, 1895 first recorded chiropractic adjustment restored hearing.

 Endocrine system can be thought of as a symphony. Pineal is the time keeper, Hypothalamus is the composer, Pituitary is the conductor, etc. 68 PINEAL

 July 1965 Scientific American discussed Pineal and its function.  Goodheart wrote in 1979 about changes in muscle function with the lights off.

 Is the regulator of circadian rhythm.  Darkness appears to cause the release of its hormones.

 Produces Melatonin from Serotonin from Tryptophan.  Check on patients having timing problems (I.e. Menstrual, waking up and feeling bad, jet lag etc.) 69 PINEAL Applied kinesiological approach

1. Test an Endocrine related muscle - Teres Minor, Latissimus, Sartorius, Gluteals. 2. Cover the eyes and forehead. Be certain that no light is getting to the area. 3. If inhibition occurs, challenge Gustatory receptors with Pineal Extract, Zinc, Tryptophan or Tyrosine. 4. Spread apart the ramus of the Mandible,Cruciate suture, and the pterygoid processes of the Sphenoid. 70 PINEAL Applied kinesiological approach
