Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A practical and reliable diagnostic tool that has emerged over the past twenty-five years, kinesiology is the study of the mechanics of bodily motion, especially muscle movements and their relationship to our body systems. Viewing the body as a balanced triad of structure, chemistry, and mentality, applied kinesiology gauges muscle response to pinpoint underlying physical problems. Within 30 minutes, a competent kinesiologist can evaluate bodily functions and provide a readout on the workings of the glands, organs, lymphatic system, circulatory and nervous systems, circulation, and muscle-bone structure.

Applied Kinesiology demonstrates how this technique can be of practical use for everyone.



About the Author

A veteran investigative journalist and the author of 13 books on a variety of subjects, Tom Valentine describes himself as a "hands-on" researcher who begins with skepticism rather than faith. He has published his own newspaper and magazines, and has been a syndicated health and nutrition columnist. Carole Valentine's interest in health-related subjects began in the late 1960s when her son was seriously ill.

4.0 out of 5 stars good overview of what to expect from applied kinesiology, November 20, 2003
By Jed Shlackman (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This book is designed to give readers an introduction to muscle testing used in health assessment and treatment. It is written for the patient rather than as a guide for practitioners, and thus focuses mainly on what treatments are like, what they can accomplish, and what can be expected from these approaches. This book is useful for its intended purpose, but doesn't provide a clear understanding of the science behind kinesiology or ways of developing skills as a practitioner to make therapeutic use of this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diagnosis of the human body., May 22, 2000
By amanda boss (sydney,australia) - See all my reviews
I found yhis book very informative, it gives interesting accounts on every part of the body by recognising responses in the muscles. It gives plain explanations and easy guidedlines to follow, this would assist a student to be able to recognise step by step and help them to recieve messages about healthy or unhealthy parts of the body.' It would also help them to form an opinion as how to help the patient and follow thru with medication in erbel therepies and also make the patient aware of the bodies functions. This book has been thouroughly written with thought, and easy to read and understand without getting very technical.

This is a fascinating & highly educational book. It is not too complicated though very detailed; a novice can understand. The book is "too cool".
