muscle testing

Muscle testing, also known as applied kinesiology, is a technique used to assess the body's response to various stimuli, such as physical or emotional factors. It involves gently applying pressure to a muscle—often the arm—while the person is exposed to specific inputs. The strength or weakness of the muscle's response is interpreted as an indicator of the body's energetic or nervous system balance. Practitioners believe this method can help identify food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, or emotional stress, guiding personalized health decisions. While some view it as a diagnostic tool, scientific validation remains limited, and it is often used alongside other modalities.
