Muscle Testing, also known as Applied Kinesiology, is a non-invasive practice of gathering biofeedback using the muscles of our body. Muscle testing is used to ask the body questions that will help us uncover imbalances within the body. It is said that 95% of our brain is used for subconscious thought. I believe that muscle testing can help us tap into the subconscious brain giving us access to a huge amount of helpful information.
In a world that has many opinions about all things nutrition, muscle testing has been an invaluable tool in helping clients figure out what THEIR body actually wants and needs.
The way that I typically Muscle Test is called the Sway Test. I stand up straight, ask the question, and if my body sways forward, that is a “yes” answer. If my body sways backwards, that is a “no” answer.
