subject: Dr. Lou Granirer Renowned New York City Chiropractor Explains Kinesiology Muscle Testing [print this page] A New York City Chiropractor Explains Kinesiology Muscle Testing by describing how diagnosing and treating weakness or imbalance in the muscular system is achieved without guesswork. Kinesiology is defined as the study of anatomy relative to human movement mechanics. Muscle Study is defined as the study of the body's movement.
Dr. Granirer is a holistic chiropractor practitioner with expertise in Kinesiology Muscle Testing. The information that follows is a description of this method. Dr. Granirer states that "Kinesiology muscle testing is based on the idea that your body knows what's wrong with it". He further describes how healing treatments and remedies are developed through testing the strength and responses of muscles.
The test is "... Designed to access...(and measure)... Energy via specific anatomical points using a muscle response". All of our muscles, as well as our organs, respond to and are controlled by the nervous system which is the body's master control and communication system. The body's energy is communicated by chemical and electrical signals which are sent back and forth from the brain via the spinal cord and the nervous system.
When muscles are healthy and strong, they will resist most interference between them and the other systems. (You have heard of "resistance training"?) When these electrical signals, or messages, are somehow interfered with, a weakened muscle will be the result. This test challenges the strength of any chosen set of muscles.
Different access points, (A. K. A. Contact or reflex points), on the body are associated with different muscles, organs or systems. The practitioner determines the access point according to the patient's complaints or symptoms. When the selected access point is pressed upon, a "circuit" will be created between it and the muscle. The test is designed to challenge and show the energetic balance between an access point and muscle, for example between the fingers and the deltoid muscles.
A strong response will indicate that the muscle's connection to, or circuit within, the nervous (neuromuscular) system connection is strong. A weak response will indicate a circuit that is shorting out, in a manner of speaking. When the nerve-to-muscle connection is weak, there is indication of a weakened balance of energy. If this is the finding, the practitioner will begin a process of selecting the best remedy to restore balance to that area of the neuromuscular system.
That treatment, or remedy, will strengthen, support and restore the energy balance in the circuit between the access point and the muscle. Different remedies will be tested, using the same kinesiology muscle tests which had diagnosed the problem, until the correct agent is found to restore maximum strength to that connection - in other words, until a "match" is found.
This method of muscle testing is an excellent tool to take the guesswork out of diagnosis and treatment. Homeopathic or botanical treatments, as well as corrective nutrition regimes will be specifically and appropriately formulated to offer the patient an accurately customized and personal remedy.
Dr. Granirer offers free consultation to all new patients. He welcomes the opportunity to "show you a quick, easy, personal and manageable plan of health...(with) the results your body needs".
