In recent decades, modern medicine has advanced greatly and is now able to treat the vast majority of conditions. Here at Aesthetic Anti-Aging Center in Macon, GA, we believe that such concerns are often caused by emotional trauma and can be addressed by a holistic approach such as Kinesiology. The word describes a type of treatment that combines muscle testing with a specific kind of massage. Your practitioner will test your body for imbalances, using biofeedback to find issues that could be the root cause of your health concerns.
Once these problems have been identified, the relevant area is gently massaged to remove the tension and allow your energy to flow once again. The method is relatively new, with the first muscle testing system emerging in the s thanks to the work of the orthopedic surgeon R. It was refined over the next few decades and has been practiced in its current form since , when a chiropractor named George Goodheart started massaging the beginning origin and end insertion of muscles to strengthen them.
He later founded the ICAK, which is an organization that regulates this field. Today, practitioners must be certified by this institution if they want to hold the title of Applied Kinesiologist. Thus, it is better regulated than many other bodywork techniques and you can be sure that your provider is well-trained and professional.
At your initial treatment, your Kinesiologist will first take your medical and lifestyle history, then address the concerns that brought you to us. Unlike with other types of massage or treatments, patients will also be fully clothed, which can make some people feel more comfortable with the process. Your specialist will simply use gentle touch and biofeedback to figure out where your imbalances are and how to release them.
While some of our patients come to us without a specific issue in mind, it helps to have a focus, so your Kinesiologist has a clear starting point. During your session, we will use muscle testing to make decisions about how to proceed, so you have to feel comfortable with this kind of treatment. There is strong evidence that it works well for many people, but not everybody is equally happy to try alternative medicine.
