What is 'Touch for Health'?

'Touch for Health' is the most widely used system of Kinesiology in the world. Kinesiology refers to the study of muscles and movement in the body. It is a holistic therapy treating the person as a whole.

		Muscles are the monitors of imbalances within the body. 'Muscle testing' is used to detect and correct various imbalances in the body which may relate to stress, nutrition, learning difficulties, dyslexia, pain, injuries and so on. 'Muscle Testing' can therefore, help with a wide variety of health problems that affect the body's mental, chemical, structural and electromagnetic systems.

How does it work?

'Touch for Health' draws on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and can evaluate body function through the muscle-meridian relationship. It can also establish connections between imbalances, put them in order of priority and determine the most effective treatment. The correction methods can be very different from individual to individual and session to session. Treatment may vary from stimulation of acupressure points, exercises to integrate the brain, to removal of certain foods from the diet. It is equally useful for physical, mental and nutritional health.

Kinesiology applies a wide range of gentle yet powerful techniques. These restore balance and create and sustain health, well-being and more effective functioning. Kinesiology also draws on and integrates other therapies and healing modalities that can be used as an adjunct to any therapy.

'Touch for Health' at Clere Health

		What happens in a consultation? The principle tool of Kinesiology is muscle monitoring. The Kinesiologist applies pressure to a contracted muscle and the client is asked to match or resist that pressure. The Kinesiologist evaluates the functioning of the muscle in response to a specific stimulus. The response of the muscle, whether it is able to remain in contraction or unlocks, gives the Kinesiologist feedback.

The feedback is used to determine what the priority stresses are and, the best way to address them.

A Touch for Health test is done fully clothed and is performed sitting in a chair, lying on a couch or standing upright. All consultations are confidential.
