Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the science of testing muscles and movement grounded in the study of anatomy and physiology.

Muscle testing, which is a light pressure exerted on a muscle, enables us to identify the source of an issue, various imbalances in the body’s systems, organs and muscles that may be related to stress, emotional trauma, allergies, nutrition, learning challenges, minor injuries and pain or an area of life that may be out of balance. If the muscle locks this shows the neurological connection between the brain and the muscle is working.  If the muscle unlocks, this indicates stress, pain or an imbalance in the body at some level. Further muscle testing specifies the priority correction required.

Kinesiology can identify and balance the source of self-worth issues, repetitive negative belief systems, behaviours, fears and phobias | Diffuses self-sabotage programs | Improves learning challenges | Facilitates lymphatic drainage | Reduces physical aches and pains | Assists with vascular supply to muscles and organs | Establishes food sensitivities, nutritional excess or deficiencies | Balances the energy of the meridian system and chakras | Assists with achieving various goals.

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE™)

When a Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn response is activated by a stressful event, our muscles tighten and our body is flooded with stress hormones to help us survive the perceived danger or conflict. Often traumatic or stressful encounters don’t allow us to run away or fight, so we tend to hold that tension and trauma inside our bodies.

TRE™ is a simple set of gentle movements designed to activate the body’s natural tremor mechanism to release the tension and charge held in the body after a stressful or traumatic experience, softening deep muscular tension patterns and tight fascia (connective tissue). As the body becomes less contracted, there is more capacity and a sense of safety to process and release what may not have felt safe to do so in the past. TRE™ supports the body in moving out of fight, flight or freeze (shut down), and people often describe feeling an increased sense of peace, connection, calm, clarity and healthy self-expression.

CranioSacral Therapy Techniques

Understanding CranioSacral Therapy

Alongside the heartbeat and breath, the body holds slower rhythms. One of these is a quiet pulse of roughly four to eight cycles a minute, which practitioners have worked with for decades as a guide to where the body is holding tension and where it is flowing freely. Slow oscillations in this range are recognised in cardiovascular physiology, where they are known to shift with the state of the nervous system. It is an area I find genuinely fascinating, and one where the felt experience of the work and the research are still meeting.

Being able to tune into the body in this way provides an opportunity to release tension in one area, bringing more ease and relief elsewhere: physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically. This reflects the heart of the work: true health is not just physical, it is the integration of body, mind, and spirit.

CranioSacral Therapy is built on a simple belief: the body already knows how to heal, given the right support and environment. A trained practitioner works with an exceptionally light touch, no more than the weight of a small coin, to sense a subtle rhythm moving through the tissues, supporting the body’s own capacity to release and restore balance.

This rhythm moves through the bones of the skull and sacrum, the membranes that wrap around the brain and spinal cord, and the web of connective tissue, called fascia, that extends throughout the whole body. This system is deeply connected to the nervous, endocrine, vascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems, so working with it can have a whole-body effect.

Neuro-Gastro-Enterology

Neuro-Gastro-Enterology is the study of the brain, the gut and their direct interaction as well as how to balance gastrointestinal disorders.

N.G.E. focuses on the functions and dysfunctions of the Sympathetic, Parasympathetic and Enteric nervous systems of the digestive tract.
The gut, particularly the small intestine, contains the second highest site of neurons to the brain. It is interconnected with the nervous system, immune system and endocrine system which is why it is referred to as the Second Brain. 

An imbalance or otherwise known as dysbiosis in the gut can result in a functional disturbance in the gastro-intestinal tract as well as cause the following symptoms: 

Arthritis | Acid Reflux | Acne | Alcoholism | Allergies | Anorexia | Asthma | ADD | Anxiety and Panic Attacks | Autoimmune Diseases | Back Problems | Bad Breath | Bedwetting | Behavioural Problems | Bloating after Eating | Bulimia | Candida | Cancer | Chronic Fatigue | Chronic Food Sensitivities | Chronic Inflammation | Chronic Immune Reactions | Chronic Hormonal Imbalances | Colitis | Constipation | Cognitive Dysfunction | Cystitis | Depression | Diabetes | Diarrhoea | Difficulty Losing Weight | Dyspepsia | Drug Addiction | Ear Problems | Eczema | Endometriosis | Epilepsy | Fatigue | Faulty Digestion | Fertility Issues | Fibromyalgia | Fibrositis | Frequent Colds | Flu and Infection | Gallbladder Problems | Gastritis | Gum Disease | Hair loss | Headaches | Hormone Problems | Hives | Hyperactivity | Hypoglycaemia | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Irritability | IBS | Joint Pain | Lack of Concentration | Lactose Intolerance | Leaky Gut Syndrome | Menstrual Problems | Memory Loss | Mood Swings | Migraines | Multiple Sclerosis | Muscle Pain | Nausea | Nervousness | Obesity | Osteoporosis | Poor Memory | Psoriasis | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Sinusitis | Spastic Colon | Sleeping Disorders | Ulcers | Urticaria | Vaginal Infections | Weakness

Infrared Light Therapy

There are over 3,000 peer-reviewed studies that evidence the health benefits of infrared and near infrared light therapy.

A near infrared light therapy session can be booked on its own or incorporated into a Kinesiology or TRE session. This portable, custom-built unit includes 4 x bulbs which mainly targets the front and back of the torso.

Alternatively, if you are interested in purchasing your own unit please click here

Near Infrared Light Therapy includes the following benefits:

Emits wavelengths between 700 and 1200 nanometres, enabling them to penetrate deeper into the body’s tissues offering more profound therapeutic effects. | Stimulates cellular regeneration and mitochondrial activity more effectively than other types of infrared light. This heightened cellular response can lead to improved energy production and overall vitality. | Promotes detoxification by effectively warming the body’s core and inducing sweating. This aids in the removal of heavy metals, toxins, and metabolic waste products more efficiently than other saunas. | Stimulates collagen production, promotes skin elasticity, and can help alleviate skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. | The deep tissue penetration of near-infrared light makes it highly effective for pain relief and muscle recovery. Athletes and those recovering from injuries benefit from reduced inflammation and faster healing. | Offers more flexibility in terms of wavelength selection and intensity control. This allows users to target specific health concerns and tailor their sessions accordingly, a level of precision not achievable with LED or far-infrared saunas. | Heats up quickly, minimizing preheating time and energy consumption compared to far-infrared saunas. | Operates at lower temperatures (typically around 120-150°F), making them more comfortable for extended sessions. | Near-infrared bulbs tend to have a longer lifespan than the infrared panels or emitters used in far-infrared saunas resulting in fewer maintenance costs over time.

PET HEALTH

Dogs and cats have a highly developed limbic (emotional) and reptilian (instinctive) brain which explains why they can sense things that we don’t notice. Just like humans, their health and well-being can be negatively affected by their environment, trauma, abuse and even by the negative emotions, stress and trauma experienced by the humans they are surrounded by.

By using Kinesiology, we  surrogate muscle test your pet to assess their emotional state, as well as the most beneficial correction required to release stress and restore balance in their body. We can balance and maintain the health of your pet from an anatomical, physiological, nutritional, emotional and structural point of view.

Corrections range from assessing optimal nutrition, hydration, supplementation, acupressure massage, Touch for Health techniques, Neuro-Gastro-Enterology techniques, stimulating specific acupressure points, the use of flower essences, tissue salts and emotional stress release techniques. 

Benefits: Reduce excessive barking or crying | Facilitate pets getting on with other pets | Alleviating pain | Relaxing pets before a trip to the vet or long-distance travel | Lack of appetite | Separation anxiety | Stress and trauma | Negative emotions.
