KINESIOLOGY - THE HEALTH BUILDING SYSTEM

If you have read my previous blogs you will probably realise that I don't lie and secondly i will definately voice what i am thinking!

Having carried this damn hip injury for about 10 weeks now and conventional treatments not really improving it, ie. I still cannot run, i decided to try out the Kinesiologist at the clinic i work in, http://www.citytherapy.org/.

George is our Kinesiologist and i'l be honest, at first i didn't know what kinesiology was or indeed did and once i did get an idea, i found it hard to really open my mind up to how kinesiology works. It is basically a therapy that builds health, not only physically, but mentally & emotionally and executes this process through the muscles. Now, i know kinesiology does alot more than this, for example, George can test food intolerances in people and even find out which would be the best nutritonal supplement for someone to take! amazing eh!

My experience of George's field was not in foods, but in the muscles - and to speak in real basic terms, he speaks to my muscles through my subconscious mind so they will answer him without me having a hold on it!

George explained on our first session that he could reduce the discomfort in my hip by about 30% by the end of the session - Still being a sceptic but openminded all the same i thought, even if i get some pain relief its sold to me!

Now, the process is basically the locking 'off' and 'on' of the muscles in my arms. So, i sat on the bed with my arms straight and infront of me and George would simply ask me a question, well, not exactly me, but my body and then apply a light pressure to my forearms and if my arms locked - didn't move, my body agreed with what George said and if they softened - so George could move them down, my body didnt agree with what he asked!

I have to add at this point, that i couldnt cheat this process, no matter what he asked me, my muscles answered no matter what my brain was thinking which was weird but all the same amazing!

I thought the most amazing part of the session was when George was putting my hip through muscle tests of strength, to basically individualise all the muscles of my hip and put them right however i couldn't carry out a test on my psoas (hip flexor), as it felt weak & painful, so George simply tested my arm (as the psoas) asking if my arm could be tested as my psoas to which my arm agreed and stayed strong - As soon as George was testing my arm as Psoas i couldnt hold any strength in it which i thought was unbelievable - and believe me, i did try to hold it!

George was also able to lock onto emotional bonds with my injury that could be the reason my injury was not getting better - as he stated, hips are the support structure for our body and at the same time they move us forward - however, i could be emotionally tied to something in the past that wont allow me to move forward! when you think about it in this way, it could make sense! (if you can put a man on the moon, i suppose anything is possible!)

George has continued to amaze me with kinesiology through other various forms of speaking to my subconscious with a thing called body tesing where he will ask my body as a whole a question and my body will respond by leaning forwards or backwards - and again, it is uncontrollable which way you will tilt!

Although I am still struggling with my injury, my kinesiology process has not finished and i believe kinesiology has uncovered an underlying factor to continuous unsuccessful treatments and once these stresses have been removed, kinesiology and sports therapy should have me back on the road to my next race in Nov 09!

All in all, i would recommend kinesiology and in particular George as a kinesiologist to anyone suffering with chronic injury and i am sure you will be amazed with what it can achieve.

Afterall you can't put a price on health!
