Why kinesiology plays a central role in my approach

Kinesiology: observing the function rather than the symptom

Kinesiology emerged in the 1960s as a result of work carried out by various health professionals, notably from chiropractic, osteopathy, and acupressure.

Through their observations, they noted a recurring phenomenon: the results obtained seemed more stable when the person was considered in their entirety rather than through an isolated symptom.

This intuition gradually led to the emergence of an approach based on the simultaneous observation of several dimensions of human functioning.

To gather some information about this functioning, these practitioners have developed the use of muscle testing as a biofeedback tool.

Muscle testing does not seek to tell a person's story.

It allows you to observe how your system reacts to different information or requests.

In my practice, kinesiology is primarily an observational tool.

It helps me understand how a human system processes the experiences it encounters and what resources can support greater coherence, regulation, and adaptation.

Each experience simultaneously engages several dimensions:

• cognition

• emotion

• the body

• relationships

• history

• the environment

When an experience becomes difficult to process, the system often develops adaptive mechanisms designed to preserve its equilibrium.

These mechanisms are generally useful.

They represent attempts at adaptation.

However, they can become limiting when they continue to function even though the context has changed.

Kinesiology then allows us to explore some of these mechanisms and identify avenues for rebalancing.

From this perspective, the body is not a problem to be corrected.

It becomes a source of information that allows us to better understand how the system functions in the face of the situations it encounters.

The goal is not to provide a definitive interpretation.

The goal is to support the system's natural capacity to adapt so that it can regain more freedom in how it responds to the present.

Kinesiology does not seek to impose a solution.

She seeks to help the system regain its ability to process what is happening to it.
