A pseudoscience that promotes the idea that muscular imbalance is a major factor in most diseases, kinesiology.<\/p>\n
A diagnostic and therapeutic approach to health care that focuses on neuromuscular problems. Kinesiology is the study of human movement, and applied kinesiology is a relatively new form of holistic medicine derived from that study. Applied kinesiology is based on chiropractic principles and assumes that muscles are associated with internal organs and glands in such a way that weakness in a muscle, for example, indicates a problem in the associated organ. Manual manipulation of the spine, extremities, and bones of the skull is associated with applied kinesiology. The goals of applied kinesiology are to restore postural balance, improve normal neuromuscular function, achieve balance among internal bodily functions, and prevent degenerative muscle diseases. However, there are no clinical studies yet verifying that applied kinesiology is effective or safe.<\/p>\n
A form of bodywork that combines elements of chiropractic and acupressure in kinesiology, the art\/science of muscle testing, as a means of diagnosing and treating physiological conditions and anatomical problems. Applied kinesiology was developed by Dr. George Good-heart, a chiropractor who had come to believe that every human disease has a structural manifestation in a specific muscle weakness. As early as 1964, he first suggested that a misaligned spine was caused by a weak muscle and that, in response, the same muscle on the opposite side of the spine tightens. He also suggested that, rather than attempt to loosen the tight muscle, the weakened muscle should be strengthened. A weak muscle would tend to affect a particular organ.<\/p>\n
