Applied Kinesiology is a method that evaluates how your muscles respond when gently tested against resistance. A weak muscle response can signal dysfunction or stress in a related system. Through this feedback, we can pinpoint priority areas to address and create a care plan based on what your body is telling us.

AK is a functional neurology test, meaning it evaluates how well your nervous system is working, rather than simply looking at structural issues.

During an AK session, we use muscle testing to assess how well the brain and nervous system communicate with different parts of the body. If a muscle tests weak, it often reflects a disruption in function, communication, or energy flow. We identify a potential root cause and apply a correction, then retest the muscle to confirm improvement.

Corrections may include chiropractic adjustments, nutritional support, lifestyle changes, or other gentle interventions.

Applied Kinesiology is used to support and identify root causes of a wide range of health concerns:

• Fatigue and burnout

• Digestive issues such as bloating or food sensitivities

• Headaches and migraines

• Hormonal imbalances

• Stress and nervous system overload

• Unexplained pain or inflammation

• Recovery from illness or trauma

• Support with immune resilience

• Functional or energetic imbalances

AK is suitable for adults, children, and even babies. It is especially valuable for people who:

• Are looking for personalised, holistic care

• Want to understand the root causes of recurring health issues

• Have tried conventional options without getting full results

• Prefer natural, gentle approaches that complement traditional healthcare

• Need guidance with prioritising dietary or lifestyle changes

Applied Kinesiology is safe and effective for infants and children. During assessments, a parent or caregiver acts as a surrogate by maintaining skin contact with the child, allowing accurate evaluation. It can help identify stressors, food intolerances, or imbalances that may affect development, immunity, digestion, or sleep.

AK appointments begin with a thorough health history and symptom review. Dr. Adriela Jones will then perform muscle testing to detect stress points or imbalances in the body. If needed, corrections are applied and retested for effectiveness.

AK can be used alongside chiropractic adjustments to improve their precision and effectiveness, supporting faster results.

AK fits seamlessly within our chiropractic philosophy. It provides deeper insight into how your nervous system is functioning and helps tailor care specifically to your body. When combined with chiropractic adjustments, AK helps improve outcomes by ensuring each correction is highly targeted and effective.
