“When your body can’t talk, we listen through muscle testing. Applied Kinesiology and TBM let us connect directly with your nervous system for truly comprehensive results.“
Applied Kinesiology and Total Body Modification (TBM) Auckland NZ
Welcome to a different kind of health assessment. Here at Realhealth Clinic on the North Shore, we recognise that sometimes, standard structural care doesn’t provide all the answers. That’s where Applied Kinesiology (AK) comes in. AK is a powerful, holistic assessment tool I use to better understand how your body is functioning at a systemic level. It helps us pinpoint underlying issues that might be contributing to chronic problems.
Understanding Applied Kinesiology: Muscle Testing Explained
Our practitioners use Applied Kinesiology which is a broad term that describes assessing the problems the human body faces through muscle testing, as utilised by the practitioners at Real Health Chiropractic Clinic.
Think of your brain as the body’s super-computer. Every muscle in your body is connected to this super-computer and to specific organs, glands, or systems. When we test a muscle’s strength, we are actually checking the nervous system balance—we are assessing the brain’s ability to send a clear signal and communicate effectively with that related body part. A weak muscle test suggests there is a communication problem that needs correcting.
How We Listen to Your Body: The Muscle Testing Process
How It Works: We isolate a particular muscle group to test a related body part. If the muscle tested is weak it means that there is a fault with how the related body part is functioning or how it is communicating with the brain. It is this lack or or poor communication from the brain that causes the muscle that was tested will not be able to contract and will give a weak muscle test. After identifying the root cause of the weak muscle, each body part (bone, nerve, organ or system of organs) has a corresponding correction. Once the correction or adjustment has been made we re-check the strength of the originally weak muscle. If the brain is now better connected to the affected body part or the body part is functioning better then the muscle will go strong again.
This re-check step is crucial. The immediate change in muscle strength following a correction serves as a clear indicator of the internal functional change that has occurred. It confirms to both you and me that we have successfully re-established clear mind-body communication, helping the body move toward self-regeneration.
Our Specialist Approach: Total Body Modification (TBM)
Our Specialist Form of Applied Kinesiology:
At Real Health we use a particular type of Applied Kinesiology called Total Body Modification (TBM). This is our more comprehensive approach that allows us to get to the source of the issue of your:
- Pain
- Fatigue
- Gut problems
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Hormonal issues
- Nervous system stress
- and other bodily function problems
We use this technique for two reasons:
- The brain is an incredible super-computer that is constantly running your body (subconsciously) whether you are awake or asleep and can accurately and effectively communicate what it needs.
- The immediate change in the strength of the muscles is a clear indicator of the change that has happened internally within the body.
TBM synthesizes wisdom from several health disciplines, including acupuncture, naturopathy, and chiropractic. It is a powerful tool in my practice for pursuing root cause health. TBM allows us to address deeper, functional issues. If you’re struggling with ongoing hormonal balance issues or unexplained chronic fatigue, TBM provides a different lens for your body’s challenges. We look at the body’s internal blueprints to see what systems are under stress and need better communication.
Starting Your Journey: Is This Right For You?
At your first appointment (New Patient Appointment) our chiropractor will help you decide if this technique is required to get to the source of your issue or your complaint is more simple to address and we can have a more structural chiropractic therapy approach.
Your New Patient Exam is the time when we decide which tool is best for your specific challenge. I assess whether structural chiropractic care will resolve your issue, or if we need the deeper functional health insights provided by TBM, such as an internal gut health assessment. We will always choose the treatment approach that gives you the best chance of feeling better, faster.
If you want to know more about this technique, please call us on 09 489 3380 and we will do our best to answer any questions you have.
