Definitions of Kinesiology and a Kinesiologist
Kinesiology:
Kinesiology is a non-invasive, client centred, holistic and integrative modality which requires utilising the skills of muscle monitoring (as a verification or biofeedback mechanism) for anatomical, physiological and psychological stressors within the person.
Kinesiology Practitioner:
The Kinesiologist obtains feedback from the client via muscle monitoring and identifies the non-invasive strategies, applying these as required for the client. This enables the client to reduce their physical, emotional, energetic and mental stressors and to positively affect their health and well-being. Practitioners may be self-employed as independent practitioners or work in a professional centre with other practitioners of different qualifications.
