Essential Element Kinesiology

What is Kinesiology?


Kinesiology (Kin-easy-ology) is a non-invasive, holistic and complementary therapy that uses muscle feedback to access information about one's health and well being. The Kinesiologist identifies imbalances within the body which could be due to structural, emotional, nutritional or spiritual causes and then works with the client to reset these imbalances. By correcting the imbalance, this enables the body to heal itself and assists one in achieving their maximum potential. For me, the process is like pressing a reset button on your body's internal computer.


Kinesiology is known as the art and science of energy balancing. Grounded in the study of anatomy and physiology, it combines muscle monitoring with the principles of Chinese medicine. It recognises that there are flows of energy within the body that relate to muscles, tissues and organs. These energy flows are assessed by testing the function of the muscles as these reflect the body's overall state of balance.

Triad of Health

When Kinesiologists refer to a state of balance, they think in terms of a triad of health. Represented as a triangle, this incorporates mental, emotional and spiritual factors on one side, chemical and nutritional factors on the second and structural and exercise factors on the third. Equal emphasis is placed on all sides of the triangle as muscle testing has revealed that when all aspects are balanced, the best results follow. Anything that is said or suggested by a Kinesiologist in a session is aimed at restoring this balance and creating harmony. Restoring the flow of the client's natural energies assists them to achieve their maximum potential as a human being.

Kinesiologists do not diagnose, prescribe or treat medical conditions or named diseases. Instead, they look beyond symptoms and focus on resetting the body's energies so that its healing opportunity is maximised. A good example is a client that would like to improve their asthma. Instead of focusing on the symptoms of asthma, the kinesiologist would look at what it is that the client would be doing if they were not experiencing these symptoms. The client may want to be able to easily play two basketball games each week, so this is what their sessions would be focused on. The outcome that would most likely follow is that their symptoms would improve to allow those two games to be played each week. Additionally the client may notice a positive "flow on" effect to other areas of their lives as their body's energies are now working in harmony as opposed to causing some kind of resistance.

When the cause of a problem has been understood and one's perception has changed, the mind instructs the body to let go of the physical ailment as it has no reason to remain. Becoming more self aware and seeing things from a wider perspective is exactly what Kinesiology is all about.

It is important to note that Kinesiology is suitable for all ages and is not limited to dealing with ailments. It is a complementary therapy that can be used in conjunction with any treatment or therapy. Energy balancing is a holistic approach that brings a person closer to achieving any goal of their choice whether it is improving health and lifestyle, sporting abilities, better relationships, enhanced learning, increasing self confidence or dealing with life in general - the possibilities are limitless. Sounds interesting doesn't it?

The adventure begins

What can you expect from a session?


Each session is individually tailored to meet your needs. The session begins by discussing the aims of what you hope to achieve and muscle testing is used to determine what the body wants to attend to as the priority.

You will usually lie down on a massage table, fully clothed and with shoes removed. Generally the muscles of the arms are used for a majority of muscle testing however leg muscles are also used at times, so wearing comfortable pants is recommended. Muscle testing can also be conducted sitting or standing if you prefer.

As I am mobile, I will come to you in the comfort of your own home and will bring all the necessary tools and equipment required. All you need to provide is enough room for a massage table to be set up and willingness to change for the better. We will work together to identify and clear any stressors, internal sabotages or conflicts and then come up with a personalised program that will assist you on your journey forward. The personalised program may include correction activities such as massaging or tapping certain points on the body, visualisations, affirmations, vibrational medicines, specific exercises or nutritional recommendations tailored to your needs.

Each session is different, tapping into your own healing potential according to what is required along with what is best for you on the day. As each individual is unique, so too will be your experience and responses. Generally, I find clients finish the session feeling more relaxed, clear, positive, and have less or no physical pain. Some individuals will notice changes immediately while others may take a few days before full integration and differences are observed. Long term or more in-depth issues may require follow up sessions, so it is suggested to allow for 3-4 sessions to experience the full benefits of what kinesiology can offer. Consultation packages are available to help you save costs and get the most out of your kinesiology experience.

Overall, you can expect to leave each session with new insights and awareness and ultimately be empowered into making positive changes in your life. Essential Element Kinesiology supports you through your own journey of self discovery and responsibility whilst providing a safe, nurturing and non judgemental environment. All sessions remain 100% confidential.
