Melinda morriss - certified Kinesiology practitioner

In order to feel comfortable with the process of kinesiology, I thought it would be helpful to provide a brief history of this powerful and scientifically backed technique. 

The science of muscle testing was first developed and published in 1932 by a Boston Orthopaedic surgeon R.W. Lovett, (Lovett also invented the first brace for treating scoliosis). By using muscle testing he was able to analyse disabilities resulting from polio and nerve damage, and he found that  muscles that tested weak, often had a common spinal nerve. 

These tests introduced the first five levels of muscle testing, which remain the basic formulas used in many of today's physical therapies. 

Muscle testing officially became a new science in the field of Academic Kinesiology in 1949, where Henry and Florence Kendall (who also worked with patients with paralytic poliomyelitis) published their book ‘Muscle Testing and Function’. This book looked at the analysis of the exact motion of muscles and the way they move joints. 

The real game changer came in the early 1960s when chiropractor, Dr George Goodheart, took interest in the Kendalls’ work and  through his research he synthesised everything into the new science called Applied Kinesiology. 

This remains the centrepiece of kinesiology: he recognised the complex inter relationship of imbalances linking muscles to the lymphatic, vascular, and energy systems of the thousand year old Chinese meridian system. By using Muscle Response Testing he could access this revered information and use it as a diagnostic tool in his chiropractic work.

Over the following decades many different kinesiology systems were developed,  including Chiropractor Dr John Thie, who developed ‘Touch For Health’  in the early 1970s. He intended to bring this system out to the layperson and indeed it has become a worldwide modality with millions of people in over 50 countries practising it. 

In the early 1980s Dr Bruce Dewe MD from New Zealand developed the Professional Kinesiology Practice (PKP) with his wife Joan. PKP is essentially a database, held in the fingertips of the practitioner. It is the interface between the physical body and the subconscious of the client. 

There have been so many incredible pioneers who have expanded kinesiology into many different processes and modalities, and these have been taught to students of kinesiology around the world.
