Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a holistic approach that focuses on the connection between muscle movement, energy flow in the body and emotional well-being. It is important to emphasize that kinesiology should not be seen as a substitute for conventional medical treatments, but as a complementary method to promote physical and emotional balance.
Kinesiology uses muscle testing as a feedback mechanism to obtain information about the energetic state of the body. This method is based on the idea that the muscle reaction to certain stimuli provides information about imbalances in the energy flow. The kinesiologist uses gentle pressure tests on the muscles to uncover blockages or stress in the body and then make appropriate corrections.
During a kinesiology session, certain muscles are tested while you are exposed to certain stressors or challenges. This can include both physical and emotional stress. The kinesiologist interprets the muscle responses and then works to restore balance through various techniques such as acupressure, movement exercises or emotional release techniques.

Kinesiology tapes
A method that is increasingly used in sports medicine and physiotherapy. Kinesiology tapes are elastic tapes that are applied to the skin and can have various positive effects on the muscles and musculoskeletal system. It is important to note that kinesiology tapes should not be considered as a stand-alone therapy, but as a supportive measure as part of a comprehensive medical treatment.
Kinesiology tapes are thin, elastic cotton tapes with a special adhesive. These tapes are applied to the skin and should not interfere with the body's natural movements. The color of the tapes is often bright and supposedly has a therapeutic effect (see color therapy). However, conventional medicine assumes that this is only for aesthetic purposes.
The tapes are applied in such a way that they exert gentle pressure on the skin and muscles. This is intended to promote blood and lymph flow, improve muscular function and reduce pain and inflammation. The elastic properties of the tapes allow the body to move freely.
