Kinesiology/Applied Kinesiology:
Kinesiology is the study of muscles and their movements. Applied kinesiology is a system that uses muscle testing procedures, in conjunction with standard methods of diagnosis, to gain information about a patient's overall state of health. Practitioners analyze muscle function, posture, gait, and other structural factors in addition to inquiring about lifestyle factors that may be contributing to a health- related problem. Nutritional supplements, muscle and joint manipulation, and lifestyle modification (including diet and exercise) may then be used as part of a treatment plan. Applied kinesiology is used by health-care providers who are licensed to diagnose, such as chiropractors, osteopaths, dentists, and medical doctors.
