How Kinesiology Can Helps Kids.

Kinesiology is a powerful modality which can assist children and adolescents with a broad range of issues.

It is a gentle, non-invasive and holistic therapy that works to uncover the root cause of the challenges, illnesses and other issues that your child may be facing. In doing so we are able to resolve symptoms rather than just mask them.

As with adults, kinesiology can assist in healing emotional issues, illness, disease and injury. It is particularly helpful in enabling children to emotionally regulate, adapt to change and thrive whilst navigating all of the external stimulus they come up against in the world.

How does it help the nervous system?

One aspect is that kinesiology can help to bring children out of the “fight or flight” response allowing them to regulate.

When in the fight or flight response, all external stimulus can be overwhelming as the child is using all of their energy to maintain control of their bodily function. It can be understood as a constant state of high alert or hypervigilance. Understandably, this is exhausting for them and extra stimulus can be “all too much”.

This is especially true for children experiencing symptoms aligned to an ADHD diagnosis.

Kinesiology allows us to identify trapped stressors and gently release them from the body. When the body (conscious and subconscious) knows that it is safe it is able to maintain regulation and natural developmental processes which may have been inhibited can often gentle resolve.

In kinesiology, once the nervous system is regulated, we also commonly work with brain integration to assist the child in their developmental process.

Treating Young Children

For babies and young children we can use surrogate muscle testing. What this means is that we work on the child’s system through the parent/guardian. It does not mean that we are treating the parent instead of the child - it means that we are accessing their field by muscle testing on you.

The same way that many kinesiologist offer highly effective treatments online. They are working on the client’s body remotely by muscle monitoring themselves.

It sounds out there - trust me, it works!
