Muscle Response Testing

What is Muscle Response Test?

Muscle Response Testing (M.R.T.) also called Kinesiology uses muscle testing as a way of coming into dialogue with your systems: or talking and listening to the body.

A light pressure is applied to a muscle (example; an outstretched arm). The response, of resistance or release, communicates to the practitioner what imbalances are present and what rebalancing techniques are appropriate.

With (M.R.T.) we can track to the source of a problem.  It works with the self healing process - acknowledging that the body knows what it needs to bring about balance or change unresolved issues -- structural, physiological and emotional traumas that the body has accumulated -- can pile up like layers in our body.

Using the Muscle Response Testing, we identify which layer needs to be addressed first. . . . As the problems of that layer are resolved, the body presents the next layer to be addressed. By honoring the body's wisdom and recognizing its innate ability to communicate what is most important in the healing process, we are able to identify the appropriate sequence and protocol for each layer of healing.

Nutritional supplements and herbal formulas are used to assist the body during periods of detoxification, cleansing and rebuilding.  If indicated, chiropractic adjustments, electro-emotional adjustments and lifestyle changes are suggested to assist the body through the healing process.

The client being tested holds his or her arm out to the side and doesn't let it drop when the health professional pushes down. Then the health professional touches a part of the body and pushes down on the arm again. If the arm becomes weaker that shows a problem with the part of the body connected with that touched point.

What is tested first?

First the amount of electricity in the body is checked. If there is not enough electricity there are certain things the client does to build that up before any further testing can be done.  Just this will get an improvement for the patient.

Then the health professional goes down a check list of buttons in an exact order and tests for weakness in a muscle. When he finds a button which tests weak he may have found the problem...or he may have to test another set of buttons, once again in an exact order to find the real problem.

The "real, real" problem may not even show up the first visit. Often there are several layers of problems which need to be fixed. They come off in layers like an onion. At times a problem cannot be fixed because it is protecting the body from another problem.

Asking a very strong male athlete to resist me pushing their arm down while holding a negative thought in their mind, is often a big surprise for them. What should be very easy becomes impossible because their emotions are creating a kind of "short circuit" in their nervous system preventing any hope of resisting my otherwise weaker arms.

Here is the empowered scenario. You feel like something could be missing in your diet. So you ask, using a pendulum or muscle testing, if something is in fact missing in your diet. You get a "yes." So you start asking questions like, "Do I need a multivitamin?" "Do I need more trace minerals?" "Do I need an energy supplement?" "Do I need a green supplement?" Very quickly you will have narrowed down exactly what you need. Say the answer was a green supplement. You then go to the health food store or on-line and check out the green supplements. There are at least ten, maybe more. So you ask, "Is what I need here on this shelf (or this page)?" You continue to narrow it down until you have the one bottle that is exactly what you need. There are no unanswered questions. And within a few days you will feel that you body is receiving what it needed. You will feel different. You will feel better. And you will "know" its what your body needed.

In the unempowered scenario you waste time, energy, and money on things you "think" you could use. I now often recommend using a pendulum or muscle testing as a way of saving money.
