Welcome to the premier kinesiology specialist in Beverly Hills. If you know you want a muscle testing practitioner, or kinesiologist, just contact us now, to make your appointment.
Muscle testing is the term people use to describe applied kinesiology. It’s a series of easy-to-do muscle performance tests. One way applied kinesiology muscle testing can be used is to investigate nutritional aspects of your health. Applied kinesiology can help us assess root aspects of many health problems, with greater insight. A muscle testing practitioner combines that insight with other assessments about your condition, including your health history.
Applied kinesiology specialists
Not all kinesiology specialists or applied kinesiologists near Beverly Hills are using the same methods. Our precise kinesiology method differs from many muscle testing doctors. Compared to other applied kinesiology specialists, none have a method more repeatable and consistent than ours. That’s why previous experience with other kinesiology doctors, or chiropractic kinesiologists has no bearing on predicting your success with us. Even if you’ve “been there, done that” with muscle testing or chiropractic kinesiology, our testing method is unique. Now, with our help, your return to health could be attainable.
What is the purpose of muscle testing?
It is not to test muscles. It is to assess nerve pathway function between your body organs and brain.
Unique Chiropractic Kinesiology Method often called “muscle testing”
Our goal is not to test a muscle’s strength, but instead to observe you ability to precisely control your muscles. Our method is precision kinesiology. It’s an intent-based, isometric, muscular task of neural-control, but nobody calls it by that kind of descriptive language. We observe an intentional muscle response, which means you are trying to control it as best as you can. Control is your task, not strength. It is simple and easy to do. It’s not what you would usually picture with the terms “muscle test,” “arm test,” or “muscle response testing.” Those descriptions used by chiropractic kinesiologists, usually connote strength testing.
What’s an arm test?
We’re not testing your arm. The arm response is just the way into the nervous system. Consider that a blood test (drawing blood through a vein) isn’t called a “vein test.” Likewise, with our kinesiology muscle testing method, precise control of your arm position matters in relation to the body areas we are investigating. So an “arm test” could be called an associated arm steadiness test.
Let’s clarify what makes us unique from most “muscle testing,” “nutrition muscle testing,” or kinesiology nutrition practitioners.
Muscle testing practitioners
Our testing system incorporates Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), or what you could call nutritional kinesiology, or nutritional muscle testing. We are proud to be the top-of-the-line expert for nutrition response testing near Beverly Hills.
In applied kinesiology, the starting point for any muscle testing practitioner is observing if your body can respond correctly. This crucial distinction is the foundation stone. The usual measure is based on the strength of the response. But with our precision method, the testing is based on your ability to control your responses. It’s like how well you can write words vs. how big you can scribble. Neural control is very precise, and much more accurate than testing brute strength.
In other words, it doesn’t matter how “strong,” or “weak” you are. Trying to outsmarting the test with force doesn’t work. Optimal responses show immediate stability. Can you hold your arm or leg still against a minimal, varying force?
Standing with your arm held out (trying to hold your arm still) should be easy for you to do, right? However, if I stomp on your foot, could you still hold your arm still? No way! In our experience, up to 80% of people with chronic fatigue, IBS, migraines, or leaky gut can’t hold their arm still either!
Why we prefer to observe response delay (latency)
Measuring relative strength is inaccurate compared to observing a response delay. It’s like trying to pick the heaviest melon at the supermarket by comparing their weights in both your hands. When you finally put them each on the scale, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. A 50/50 chance of getting it right is not acceptable for a muscle testing chiropractor in a clinical setting.
Muscle Testing (for strength): Which One Feels Heavier?
So, we analyze your control response. Is your response fully controlled or not? A slightly delayed response is clear. There’s no relative scale of strength we are trying to decipher. No guessing! We are evaluating a neurological event seen through muscle performance tests. We observe your muscle responses to assess nerve pathway function between your body organs and brain.
By making one change with each subsequent iteration of the testing, we see if there is a different response. Remember, it is a series of tests. A single test is not enough. Delayed responses may indicate some underlying dysfunction needing more investigation.
Whole Body Nutritional Kinesiology Chiropractor
Applied kinesiology chiropractors may do muscle testing for a localized problem with a muscle, or your spine. We do that too. However, we start by testing for delayed responses that will be evident regardless of which muscle group we use. This is an integrative, whole-body approach for safe natural solutions.
Done correctly as part of your health assessment, muscle response testing can give us key information. It is a way to get greater insight about your whole body, and the body systems that need attention. Even previous blood tests may be seen in a new light. We use all the clinical information to develop a model of the mechanisms underlying your condition. That’s called functional medicine. Please note: there are very few functional medicine doctors who integrate applied kinesiology into their assessment, but we do!
Muscle testing near me
Our precise kinesiology method is a powerful evaluative tool. We can use it to observe your body’s response when foods, allergens, or environmental toxins contact your body.
Through a series of sequential, repeatable muscle responses (clinical kinesiology nutrition), the insight we gather about the underlying causes of your health problem (basic functions of your body like digestion, elimination, immune function, spinal function, brain function, etc.) can be profound. Applied kinesiology muscle testing is a necessary part of any high-performance health-promoting program.
