Your Body's Potential with Kinesiology

Have you ever walked into a room and felt immediately tense, felt someone’s presence before you could see them, or you felt your heart drop when you heard of someone else’s grief or troubles?

Your body operates through interconnected systems that go beyond what we can see and touch. From a kinesiological perspective, these energy systems work alongside your muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems to maintain optimal function and health. Think of it as your body’s internal communication network – constantly processing information from your environment and adjusting accordingly.

Kinesiology recognizes that your body is constantly responding to various stimuli through subtle muscular and neurological changes. These responses can be measured and observed through muscle testing and other kinesiological techniques. When you walk into a tense room and immediately feel your shoulders tighten, or when you sense someone behind you without looking, your body is demonstrating its remarkable ability to detect and respond to environmental changes through your nervous system and muscular responses.

Your body’s energy systems include several components that kinesiologists work with regularly. Your nervous system processes electrical impulses, your fascia (connective tissue) conducts bioelectrical signals throughout your body, and your muscular system responds to both internal and external stressors. These systems work together to maintain what kinesiologists call “structural, chemical, and emotional balance.”

Most people can’t consciously perceive these subtle energy exchanges, but kinesiologists use muscle testing to detect imbalances and weaknesses in these systems. Research in biophysics has shown that the human body does emit measurable electromagnetic fields, which can be detected using specialized equipment. Your body is constantly sending and receiving information through these bioelectrical pathways.

Understanding these systems matters because they directly impact your physical performance, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. When someone else’s stress affects you, it’s often because your nervous system is picking up on their tension and responding accordingly. A well-functioning energy system – maintained through proper kinesiology care – helps you stay centered and maintain your own equilibrium regardless of external circumstances.

So how do you support these systems? The foundation is always physical health – proper nutrition, hydration, movement, and rest optimize your body’s electrical conductivity and nervous system function. From a kinesiological standpoint, regular muscle balancing, stress reduction techniques, and addressing structural imbalances all help maintain optimal energy flow throughout your body.

If you find yourself easily affected by other people’s moods or environmental stress, consider working with a kinesiologist to identify and address any imbalances in your body’s systems. Through muscle testing and corrective techniques, you can strengthen your body’s natural ability to maintain its own healthy state while remaining appropriately responsive to your environment.
