Here at ‘THE SPRING’ we use muscle testing along with the client interview, a comprehensive health questionnaire and any necessary blood work to help us provide the best plan of care for our client’s optimal health journey.
We are here for you so ask us any questions. Our goal is YOUR BEST HEALTH!
WHY MUSCLE TESTING?
What is muscle testing?
Muscle testing is a diagnostic tool that uses the body’s own nervous system — a form of biofeedback — to uncover hidden problems. The human body knows what is wrong with it, but unfortunately it cannot give you a sticky note or email you with a list of what is not working correctly. It can, however, communicate through the turning on or off of muscles.
How does it work?
The body turns muscles on and off all the time; this allows us to move, speak, digest food, circulate blood, and breathe oxygen. This is basically the language of the central nervous system (CNS). By using muscle testing, a properly trained doctor can access an enormous amount of information about the patient that is unavailable through other means.
What sort of conditions can muscle testing help identify?
A weak muscle might be caused by trauma to the muscle. A weak muscle might be caused by an infection in the large or small intestine. A weak muscle might be caused by estrogen dominance and low progesterone. There are many internal imbalances that will show up on the outside of the body as a weak muscle.
What exactly is the role of the central nervous system?
When you test a muscle with applied kinesiology, you are examining the CNS, since it is in control of when muscles turn on and off. A muscle turning on or off is the final output of many different pathways — hormones, toxins, hydration, sleep, stress, nutrition, electromagnetics, and so on. Muscle testing is able to pick up on disturbances in all the different body systems.
What is the connection between muscle weakness and a food sensitivity?
During a muscle test, if a strong muscle weakens when a patient puts gluten or dairy in their mouth, it indicates that the body treats these foods more like toxins. This is how the CNS responds to something that is “negative” for the body. Any weakness you see on the muscle test is caused by the CNS answering the question “Is this food good for me?” It can only answer yes or no, “on” or “off.” If that food is neither good nor bad for you, the muscle will not weaken.
What, if any, safety issues are there to consider?
Manual muscle testing is safe. The only contraindication is to avoid testing areas of the body that are injured, as this will always yield inaccurate results from the CNS. You can’t muscle test accurately if the person is in pain while doing the movement.
Practitioners sometimes test two different supplements at varying distances from the body. Is the body’s energy field involved here?
The nervous system doesn’t stop processing information at the edge of our body: We take in information from our environment. Our CNS looks at the horizon, the sky, people walking toward us; it scans the room for threats and can identify them from a pretty long distance.
It is the same system we use with muscle testing. The CNS sensory processing that gives you goosebumps when someone stares at you from across the street is able to discern if a supplement or substance is effective from a distance. The greater the distance, the greater the positive (or negative) reaction.
