Applied kinesiology is a diagnosis performed through testing of the muscle in order to get an idea of how the body of a person is working. Ideally, applied kinesiology helps to narrow down options of therapy and gives more specific results. A kinesiologist typically locates a weak muscle and tests it in order to find out why it is not behaving properly.

​An evaluation is made from the results and then the proper route of therapy to treat the weakness can be utilized. The reason a muscle behaves weakly, according to applied kinesiology, is because the certain gland or organ that it is related to is weak. 
 
Therefore, accessing the weak muscle problem can give insight into underlying ailments that can range from damaged nerves, organ problems, decreased supply of blood or imbalances in chemical composition. Kinesiologists believe that strengthening the weakened muscle can have a direct impact on helping and strengthening the organ it is linked to. 

It is similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the fact that it shares principals of energy flow, otherwise called Meridians in TCM.

The various therapies associated with applied kinesiology include myofascial, meridian and cranial therapy, as well as many others. Sometimes a muscle that is strong enough is used as a test to find out what would cause it to weaken, such as whether it is a reaction to food or the environment. 
 
If you choose to go to a session with a kinesiologist then you can expect to start the session by explaining details of your health history. Then tests will be conducted in order to evaluate blood pressure changes in different positions, such as sitting or lying down. These different positions and the way our blood pressure reacts to them can show whether the body is imbalanced. Other assessments include tests such as balance, reflex and sensitivity. 
 
The next step is to test the strength of the muscle by applying pressure. If the muscle can withstand the pressure then it is considered a strong muscle, while those that react by twitching or giving up are labeled as weak and are a reason for concern. Some kinesiologists will test the strength of muscles while asking the patient to imagine certain scenarios, while food or substance related weaknesses are tested by under-the-tongue placement or holding the object in one's hand. 
 
The types of treatments for applied kinesiology include realignment, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, deep massage and changes in diet and nutrition. 

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, which involves the use of fine needles to apply pressure on specific points in the body. When performed by a professional and well-trained acupuncturist, acupuncture is one of the most beneficial forms of treatment in curing pain and underlying ailments. It is a safe procedure that has been found to be extremely effective. While it is mostly used in Asia, many westerners have started to adopt the use of acupuncture as either a last means in curing a problem or several times annually to make sure the body is working well. ​

Acupuncture is a method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, that has been around for more than 2,500 years. Acupuncture is said to help the body maintain its Chi balance and allow it to flow well through out body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the reason for ailments is a problem with the flow. By applying pressure to specific points throughout the body by using a needle, the chi is released and therefore free to travel through its meridians, or channels. ​

​Magnets have been known for their healing properties and their use in prevention and cure has been noted in ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). One of the oldest medical book from the orient- “Chinese Yellow Emperor’s Book of Internal Medicine” written around 2000 B.C. has elaborate mention of the use of magnets in healing day to day ailments such as aches and pains.

​Magnetic Therapy has also been known in it’s use to cure paraplegia, rheumatism and arthritic limb swellings by eating certain potent magnetic ores. Orient has always used magnets along with other traditional therapies such as acupuncture and acupressure.

Within the western world, Aristotle noted around 300 B.C. the many uses of magnets in healing therapies. In 100 A.D. Pliny, a younger Greek physician wrote about the uses of magnets in healing eye diseases. Galen, a third century Roman physician, observed that magnets could also help in constipation when placed correctly over the abdomen and colon area. In 400 A.D. first known use of magnetic jewelry in the form of a necklace of noted for healing. Thus there are numerous noted mentions in recorded medical history of the use of magnetic therapy- particularly for subsiding chronic pain.

It was only in the early 1800s that magnetic therapy came under the ridicule of the Western Medicine methodologies. But recently since the mid 1900s, much research has been done and various clinical studies have been carried out in Japan, Canada, old Soviet Union and many other countries in the use of magnets in subsiding chronic pain and healing certain other common ailments such as insomnia, stress, arthritis, kidney problems etc.

Magnetic Therapy is a well-advanced accepted mode of healing in Japan China, India, Australia and Germany. It’s use in USA has been slow due to lack of knowledge, research and understanding of this force and the “how-s” and “why-s” of healing.

​Magnetic bracelets are believed to enhance blood circulation. The iron content in the blood cells gets influenced by the magnetic field produced by these magnets. This eventually balances proper blood circulation, which in turn helps to relieve muscle pain and stiffness.

This healing effect has proven to be a miracle for patients of arthritis and other chronic pain conditions.   Most people agree that magnetic bracelets have helped them by reducing their pain and suffering, though how this reduction is exactly brought about is still a mystery! 

Magnet bracelets have also shown their healing effect in relaxing brain muscles. They seem to restore our body's natural energy field. One can use magnetic therapy to address daily stress as well as tension and for an overall sense of relaxed wellbeing.

When it comes to physical treatment using magnetic substances, Gemstone Healers & Crystal Therapists have used hematite, which is a natural iron ore. It is believed to encourage absorption of iron, which in turn helps to maintain proper oxygen supply into the body and aids with smoother blood flow. Hence it is believed that Hematite can offer a sort-of ‘shield’ from emotional stress and negative energies. 

In addition, researchers suggest that wearing a magnetic bracelet with the negative pole facing the wrist benefits the wearer by balancing their blood pH. This is supposed to discourage growth of microorganisms, increase blood oxygenation as well as help with reducing free radicals in the blood stream. Because of this, the researchers believe that wearing a magnetic bracelet can help one to stay calm and feel relaxed.

As per the studies conducted on around 194 patients suffering from osteoarthritis affecting their knee and hip, it was found that their pain was reduced by using standard magnetic bracelets.
​
The best part of wearing a magnetic bracelet is that even though it provides all these healing benefits, it does not feel like a ‘therapeutic aid’! From practical as well as aesthetic standpoint, it typically looks like a jewelry bracelet and so, one can obtain these helpful benefits while also making a unique fashion statement showcasing their natural lifestyle.

​Tai chi is an exercise used to calm the mind and strengthen he body. It is known for having many good benefits for our health and mind. Tai chi is a flowing type of movement and has been found to help with various ailments, as well as lower levels of stress. Many refer to tai chi as a form of moving meditation due to its fluid and calming nature. 

It started out in ancient China and is executed by using slow, controlled movements that merge from pose to pose. The idea is to have the body in a constant state of motion, albeit at a gradual pace. Tai chi is considered a form of exercise as well as a great stretching technique. There are several styles of tai chi, which vary in styles and philosophies. Some types of tai chi are more specifically used for martial arts development while others can be for general wellbeing. 

Because tai chi is made up of soft and flowing movements, it is considered an exercise with very little impact and therefore does not put much stress on areas such as the joints and muscles. This is excellent for people of all ages with varying levels of fitness since it can be performed by practically anyone. Many older people enjoy taking up tai chi because it provides a soft exercise yet keeps the body active and healthy.
 
People that are limited to other kinds of exercises can generally participate in tai chi. However, it is best to check with your doctor just to make sure. The reason tai chi is so popular is that it shows results in improving general health. It is known to reduce levels of anxiety and stress and improve stamina, balance, flexibility, as well as give muscles more strength.
 
Those who perform tai chi on a regular basis tend to have better sleep, a stronger immune system, reduced pain of joints and reduced levels of blood pressure and cholesterol. Those who are interested in tai chi can find an instructor, who is qualified to teach, in order to receive the most benefits and avoid performing techniques in a harmful or uncomfortable manner.
 
Important aspects of tai chi include practicing the positions in their correct form and learning how to manage your breathing. While it is possible to learn these techniques with a DVD or book, it is much easier to join a class instead of monitoring yourself at the start and also avoids unnecessary injuries from performing positions in the wrong way.
