Kinesiology (from the greek kinesis, movement) is an ancient discipline that was created with the aim of studying the movements of humans and animals. The biomechanical principles of Kinesiology (such as the application of a minimum force likely to produce the maximum result) have also been applied to a wide variety of medical, sports and industrial problems such as the design of ergonomic and “user friendly” devices.
Athletes work in concert with Kinesiologists in order to learn how to efficiently execute the movements required by their sporting gesture. The biomechanical principles, which underpin the Kinesiology, also led to numerous applications in various fields of medicine: consider, for example, the design of artificial implants and the development of the latest and most effective methods of rehabilitation.
One of the most fascinating approaches of the Applied Kinesiology is in its dual role: diagnostic and therapeutic. Diagnostic techniques evaluate the functionality of the body through muscle testing, allowing you to identify which body system is disrupted and what methods of treatment are necessary to correct the disorder.
Treatment methods can be multiple: structural, chemical, nutritional, and many others, according to the numerous techniques that non Conventional Medicine uses. The same techniques are then used to determine whether the treatment carried out results appropriate, properly applied and effective.
