Applied Kinesiology $36.72 This book introduces the principles and philosophy of applied kinesiology (AK), as it is used by medical professionals all over the world. Written for both the professional and the curious layman, APPLIED KINESIOLOGY is a detailed, well-researched account of the technique by someone who studied closely with its originator, George Goodheart. AK uses muscle stress testing to determine the weakness or strength of a muscle group, which, according to its originator's beliefs, directly correlates to the function of specific organs and bodily functions. AK introduces the reader to basic practices, as created by Dr. Goodheart, and to 33 muscle tests with simple-to-follow instructions for the beginner. While this book isn't a textbook, it is used for various training programs and is often on required reading lists for kinesiology students. Robert Frost has done an excellent job of condensing the complex information into a pocket-sized book -- such a good job in fact, that George Goodheart himself elected to write a forward. |

What is bodywork?
The term bodywork is an umbrella term used to describe a massive range of tens, if not hundreds, of alternative medicines and therapies. These range from manipulative therapies (such as massage), to breath work (such as that used in yoga and meditation), through to energy medicine (such as Reiki). Bodywork therapies work with both energy fields and the physical body, and promote a mind-body connection.
Bodywork therapies can be broken down into two types:
Non-touch bodywork: which includes yoga, Reiki, Tai Chi and breathing exercises
Manipulative techniques: including massage therapy, Alexander technique, Applied Kinesiology, Bioenergetics, Bowen technique, Chiropractic, Reflexology and Shitasu (among many others).
Bodywork practices aid both mental and physical ailments, and treat the whole person rather than solely the problem area. Bodywork practitioners focus on releasing stress, anxiety and negative emotions through various techniques, be it a relaxing massage, a session of yoga or through breathing exercises. It is often stated in bodywork circles, and in bodywork books, that emotions are behind common ailments; signs of ‘dis-ease' manifest themselves in aches, pains and illnesses in the body. Treating the emotions through non-touch and manipulative techniques therefore can create a healthier client, and an enhanced sense of well-being.
Common bodywork practices include:
Yoga: The holistic exercise system that stretches the body and renews the mind. Requires balance, strength and flexibility
Tai Chi: A Chinese system of slow meditative physical exercise designed for relaxation, balance and health
Massage: Long, smooth strokes, kneading and other movements focused on superficial layers of muscle, relaxes body and mind
Acupuncture: Treatment of pain or disease by inserting the tips of needles at specific points on the skin
Aromatherapy: Practice of using plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being
Less well known bodywork practices include:
AMMA therapy: Amma, which means to push-pull, is an ancient Asian word to describe massage. Amma therapy is a different type of massage that pays attention to the more subtle vibrations of the human body. It focuses on the balance and movement of energy
Berrywork: A combination of corrective stretches involving the fascia, cartilage, and joints. Berrywork was created by and named after Lauren Berry, a physical therapist
Cranio-Sacral: A session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which allows them to tune into what is called the craniosacral rhythm, gently working with the spine and skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. Helps treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines and TMJ Syndrome.
Kahuna healing: energy healing system based upon ancient Hawaiian shamanic wisdom and methods.
Rolfing: Technique of manipulating the body's connective tissues in order to release stress patterns within the human form
Stimulation of specific points on the body surface, or a person's energy fields, with the intention of obtaining specific therapeutic result is a technique that has been used for thousands of years in many traditional healing systems. As we can see from the previous examples, there are numerous ancient and modern bodywork techniques available with the purpose of influencing the functional capacity of the body to correct physical and energetic dysfunctions; and even today this field continues to grow.
