Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a specific form of diagnosis that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing as a primary feeback mechanism of body function. AK, a gentle, non-invasive approach to the healing arts, has become a dynamic movement in health care since its inception in the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart.

Dr. Goodheart found that by evaluating the musculoskeletal system combined with various stimuli of the senses such as touch, smell, taste, etc., a functional evaluation of the nervous, vascular and lymphatic systems, nutrition, acupuncture, cerebrospinal fluid function and many other controlling or disturbing factors that influence health could be obtained.

Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counselling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.

The triad of health lists the three basic causes of health problems. They are structural, chemical, and mental, with structure as the base of the triad. Literally, all health problems, whether functional or pathological, are involved with one part or all parts of the triad. AK enables the doctor to evaluate the triad's functional balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides. The physician who is aware of the triad of health, and evaluates every patient for all three sides, increases his ability to find the basic underlying cause of a patient’s health problem.

AK skills are developed and approved by the International College of Applied Kinesiology Board of Standards. These skills are refined from many disciplines including Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Medicine, Dentistry, Acupuncture, Biochemistry, Psychology, Homeopathy, and Naturopathy etc. Members of these professions share knowledge through the publications and conferences of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).

How do emotions affect my health?

Emotions such as fear, anger, grief and many others can negatively affect us long after the original event that caused them. When our body fails to "let go" of these emotions we can find ourselves with unexplained aversions, self-sabotaging behaviors, destructive beliefs, phobias, and many chronic physical problems!

We use an approach called Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) to identify, and help you let go of, "stuck" emotional patterns.

If we are in a weakened state due to poor nutrition, stress, or physical trauma, everyday emotions may not resolve naturally. Later in our lives when we experience a similar situation, the old emotional response kicks in.

We rarely see the link between the past event and our present situation. NET can help identify the unresolved real (or imagined) event and help your body release its lingering emotional charge. For good.

Our emotional reality can dramatically affect our health.

People used to think emotions resided entirely in their brain. Now we know other parts of the body can hold emotions too. Ever felt butterflies in your stomach before a speech, referred to something as a "pain in the neck" or felt a "lump in your throat"? Clearly, emotions happen in our body, not just our brain.

Using NET, we find these stuck, negatively charged emotions stored in your body and help you release them. It's fast. It's fun. And it can dramatically improve your health.

Finding and balancing these stuck memory loops is done with the help of simple muscle testing. This helps determine if your body is in harmony with a particular concept or idea which is linked to an unresolved emotional event.

You'll form a mental picture, or "snapshot," of the original triggering event. Your body will assume an emotional state similar to the way it originally reacted. Then, we'll contact, or ask you to contact, a specific body point storing the emotion. This helps your body release the unresolved emotion linked to the event. It's simple.

After the correction, many patients report feeling that a heavy weight has been lifted from their shoulders. If things become too personal or uncomfortable, just say the word and the session can safely end. You are always in control.

NET is safe, effective and a natural way to instantly resolve long-standing health problems that have an emotional component.

Muscle testing the strength of your arm can reveal your congruence with the statements that we pose.Muscle weakness is a sign your body is harboring an unresolved emotional response in your body.

Questions and Answers about Neuro-Emotional Technique / Emotions:

1) Does everyone have stuck emotional patterns? Yes, we've found this to be true. While our emotions bring richness to our lives, many times they don't fully resolve on their own. When they don't, their residual charge can diminish our health, affect our relationships and sabotage our success.

2) When are stuck emotions stored in the body? No one knows for sure. It seems emotions don't resolve properly at times when our body's resistance is compromised. Our job is to find these unresolved emotions and help you finally discharge them in a healthy way.

3) Does this take the place of psychotherapy? No. Locating and resolving theses emotional snapshots from the past does not take the place of counseling, analysis or other types of therapy. Actually, many psychotherapists use NET in their practice. Rest assured that we make appropriate referrals as necessary.

4) Why are homeopathic remedies sometimes recommended? Since emotional patterns are stored in the body, long standing negatively-charged emotional patterns can often deplete or weaken affected tissues. The remedies we use help promote healing and the return of balance and harmony. Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is based on a proven combination of the latest scientific research and centuries-old techniques used in Eastern healing.

By acknowledging the relationship between the body's emotional health, environmental toxicity, nutritional balance and structural integrity, appreciative patients around the world enjoy better health and well-being.
