Applied Kinesiology: Muscle Response in Diagnosis, Therapy, and Preventive Medicine

by Tom Valentine, Carole Valentine, Douglas P. Hetrick D.C. (Primary Contributor)

A practical and reliable diagnostic tool that has emerged over the past twenty-five years, kinesiology is the study of the mechanics of bodily motion, especially muscle movements and their relationship to our body systems. Viewing the body as a balanced triad of structure, chemistry, and mentality, applied kinesiology gauges muscle response to pinpoint underlying physical problems. Within 30 minutes, a competent kinesiologist can evaluate bodily functions and provide a readout on the workings of the glands, organs, lymphatic system, circulatory and nervous systems, circulation, and muscle-bone structure. Applied Kinesiology demonstrates how this technique can be of practical use for everyone.

If you're already familiar with the basics about the structure of the body, how it moves, muscle testing and chiropractic you will probably find this book as boring and dry as I did. AK does wonders for me and I was looking for a book that would give a little more insight into its development and basic practical applications that I could use at work in a massage session. This book is too dated (written in mid-1980's) and too basic for me to really enjoy it. 2 stars
