Essential Muscle Testing

---

Muscle testing can be a very valuable aid to understanding what your body needs to heal. Therefore, understanding how it works and exactly what happens can be very beneficial.

Muscle Testing: How does it work?

Muscle testing works similarly to a lie detector test.  Just as a lie detector can use parts of your body to tell whether you are giving a true or false response, a practitioner can use your muscles to tell whether you are giving a true or false response. Therefore, questions are asked that will allow your body to indicate whether a statement is true or false. The human body likes truths. Therefore, telling the truth strengthens the body, so the muscles will get a bit stronger when the body responds truthfully. The body does not like false statements. Therefore, false statements stress the body and weaken it. These responses happen automatically. Simply put, the practitioner will ask a question and check whether your muscles become weaker or stronger.

Muscle Testing: What happens?

For muscle testing, the Health Kinesiology practitioner selects one muscle as the body’s “indicator muscle.” The muscle will either relax (unlock) for a false/stressful response or stay strong (locked) for a true/non-stressful response. There is no sensation involved with muscle testing. In muscle testing, we simply monitor the electrochemical responses that occur naturally when the body is exposed to a false (stressful) or true (non-stressful) stimulus. Muscle testing is used to allow your body to guide us through whatever it needs. We recognize that your body already knows if it is struggling to heal your kidneys or lungs, for example.

Muscle Testing: What do we avoid?

At Optimum Health, our practitioner maintains contact with the client during muscle testing. Our practitioner does not use internal vision, auras, or a pendulum when muscle testing. We do not ask about things the body cannot know.  Finally, we do not involve prayers or any other contact with possible spirits.   In other words, it doesn’t matter whether you think the spirits are good or bad, angels or demons.    Though a person may pray silently and privately before their appointment if they so choose, we only deal with the science of how the body is made and how it operates.  This is beneficial for several reasons.  First, this is science.  As such, there is no need to go beyond that.  Second, we don’t want to offend anyone’s beliefs over something that is completely optional.
