Kinesiology
Kinesiology, or muscle testing, is a powerful tool that allows the practitioner to engage in a conversation with your body’s inner intelligence. Applied kinesiology is widely practiced by chiropractors, massage therapists, and energy medicine practitioners. Developed by Dr. George Goodheart, the technique has become a standard tool for locating blocked energy in the body, identifying what is causing the energy blockage and restoring energy flow, which results in healing! Muscle testing is not used to diagnose or treat medical conditions.

At Crystal Bridge, Barbara uses muscle testing to do this and more:
- locate and clear areas of stress in the body that cause pain or dysfunction
- determine what foods support your health or detract from it (we are all different!)
- find out which nutritional supplements bring our bodies into balance, and what dosages we need
- find mental and emotional stress issues and clear them
- balance our acupuncture meridians and chakras
- locate and clear limiting beliefs
Simply put, your practitioner uses light pressure on a muscle in your body to verify simple yes/no statements. Your muscle, responding to your inner intelligence, will not be able to stay strong when an untrue statement is made.
For example, “My body can easily digest and process milk.” If this is true, your indicator muscle stays strong. If false, it goes weak. Using this simple technique, one can identify food sensitivities, emotional blocks, best exercise regimes, and much much more!

What happens in a Kinesiology Session?
In a kinesiology session, the practitioner uses light pressure on a muscle, usually on your wrist, to verify simple yes/no statements. The client meets the practitioner’s pressure, lightly resisting having her arm pushed down. When the practitioner makes a statement that is not true, your muscle will be unable to resist, and will drop to your side. A kinesiology practitioner is trained to know how to ask questions to discover energy imbalances and treat them accordingly. Once an imbalance, also referred to as a weakness, is identified, and the location of the imbalance in the body has been determined, the practitioner applies energetic corrections to bring your body into balance. An energetic correction might include:
- Gently stimulating energy points in the aura around your head.
- Restoring harmonious energy meridian flow by tracing energy meridians. The practitioner holds her hand about 2 inches over your body and traces the meridian, stimulating (or sedating) the flow.
- Instructing you to massage specific acupressure points on your body for 20 to 60 seconds to release blockages.
- Applying the energy of a color, sound, vibrational frequency, gemstone, flower essence, homeopathic remedy, fragrance, to name a few common energetic modalities that your body might call for.
- Test your body for sensitivity to foods, pollens, molds, environmental toxins, and more, and reset your immune system to handle substances you are sensitive to.
Sensitivities to Foods, Pollens, Dust, Environmental Toxins
Did you know that kinesiology can identify and help relieve sensitivities to pollens, foods, and environmental toxins, molds, EMFs and more? The simple protocol involves the client touching a small glass vial containing the energetic vibrational signature of a substance, or the substance itself. We then use kinesiology to test a muscle. If the muscle cannot retain strength, the client is showing sensitivity to the substance. Note that a sensitivity is different from an allergy. A food sensitivity may create unpleasant symptoms, such as gas, bloating, sneezing, or headache. Some allergies are very serious, and require immediate medical attention.
When we identify a sensitivity, it is often possible to clear the sensitivity using kinesiology techniques. Once cleared, the immune system is free to heal the affected areas of the body. This means that instead of having to avoid a substance for life, you can consume (or be exposed) to the substance in moderation without having a negative reaction. With foods, adding a digestive enzyme often resolves an issue. We test using kinesiology to see whether an enzyme or other supplement will assist the body in processing the food in question.
