What is kinesiology
Listening to the body to find balance
Gentle muscle tests guide the session. The aim is balance, not diagnosis.
Kinesiology uses light muscle tests, usually on an arm, as a form of feedback. The practitioner applies gentle pressure and notices how the muscle responds. This helps to identify sources of stress and to choose the techniques that suit you best.
Claire is trained in Adaptogenesis, an approach to kinesiology that draws on ideas from traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathy, psychology and neuroscience. It looks at the person as a whole: body, emotions and daily rhythm.
Sessions are calm and adapted to each age. You stay fully clothed, and the techniques used are gentle: light touch on specific points, simple movements and breathing.
Kinesiology does not diagnose or treat illness. If you have a medical or mental-health concern, please see a doctor or one of our psychologists first. Kinesiology can then complement their care.
