What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology encompasses holistic health disciplines which use non-invasive 'muscle-testing' as a monitor to gauge a person's wellbeing. It uses the premise that our bodies have inherent wisdom to heal themselves, we simply need to tap into this wisdom/intelligence. Kinesiology is a unique form of holistic therapy as it combines Eastern medicine philosophy with Western understanding of anatomy and physiology and works to promote physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Kinesiology identifies the factors blocking the body's natural healing processes such as stress, allergies, nutritional deficiencies and specific emotional issues.

This introductory course developed by American chiropractor Dr John Thie in the 1970’s, introduces you to the ‘grass roots’ of kinesiology. Touch for Health has been taught to over 10 million people worldwide, in over 100 countries and translated in some 26 languages. Level I introduces the basics of Touch for Health (TFH) for both lay-people and professionals. You will learn the core techniques of muscle testing for the primary 14 energy meridians based on Chinese Medicine and be able to perform the standard 'fix-as-you-go' techniques for balancing the body's energies. The theory of TFH and the acupuncture meridians are introduced with the western reflex techniques that are used to restore balance for dramatically improving posture, alleviating pain and stress, and for enhancing vitality and mental performance.
