Muscle Testing Explained
Muscle testing (Neuromuscular Biofeedback) tests how the body responds to stimulus through the nervous system, specifically the electric signals sent to the muscles.
It is a passive testing method that provides realtime and accurate findings and immediate measurements of how to best balance a person's biochemistry to support the body in healing.
This technique is used by Applied Kinesiologists and Chiropractors.
At the CHHE we use stimulus from:
Vial samples (vitamins, minerals, bacteria, immune markers, foods)
Light & biophotonic emissions
Organ trigger points (energy circuits used in Traditional Chinese Medicine)
To get one of two reactions from muscles:
1. A weak response (blocked electric signal - muscles no not activate)
2. A strong response (clean, uninterrupted signal - muscles activate and lock at the joint)
Interruptions in signals from the brain to the muscle indicate problems - and therein lies key information about the root cause of someone's health condition.
Through Muscle Testing we find:
✅ Nutritional deficiencies
✅ Bone misalignment
✅ Pathogenic activity
✅ Food sensitivities
✅ Allergies
✅ Blocks in acupuncture system
✅ State of the immune system
✅ Ideal dosing of supplements
Muscle response indicates the physical, chemical and energetic state of the body and we're able to test exactly what the individual requires in order to heal.
