​Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a gentle assessment method some of our chiropractors use to better understand how your body is functioning.
It is based on a simple idea: your muscles reflect how well your nervous system is working. By testing the strength and response of certain muscles, your chiropractor can gather clues about areas of stress, imbalance, or dysfunction in the body.
During your visit, your chiropractor may lightly test a muscle while touching different areas of your spine or body. If the muscle response changes, it can help identify which joints or areas may benefit from an adjustment.
This approach provides real-time feedback from your body and helps guide precise, individualised care. It can also be used after an adjustment to check that the body has responded well.
Applied Kinesiology is used alongside standard chiropractic examination and helps us take a whole-body, holistic view of your health, supporting better movement, function, and overall wellbeing.
