The word Kinesiology comes from the Greek "kinesis" (motion).
It was developed by a chiropractor Dr. George Good heart.
He found that muscles could be strengthened by massaging unrelated areas of the body.
He was able to device a theory of "energy circuits".
The international college of Applied Kinesiology was founded in 1974.
According to practitioners the body is an integral whole.
The muscles, glands and organs are thought to be connected via a complex network of energy circuits.
Strengths or weakness of a muscle is thought to relate to corresponding body systems to indicate the patients structural and mental health.
This is known as the Triangle of Health.
It is thought the muscles energy circuit "turns off" when an imbalance occurs.
If one muscle is weak then the opposing muscle may become tense or strained.
The practitioner of Kinesiology tests muscle strengh to diagnose imbalances.
