Kinesiology: what is Touch for Health

Kinesiology is a natural therapeutic technique that is based on the physical manipulation of muscles and reflex points present on the body.

Kinesiology starts from the assumption that good posture and a good functioning of the skeletal and muscular system condition all physical well-being, through the communication of the various parts of the body: upper and lower, right and left, internal and external.

This occurs by acting on the correct postural balance of the spinal column , seat of the bundle of nerves of the nervous system that radiates to the whole body.

According to kinesiology, the position of the spine stresses or disturbs different nerves, which carry different information to organs and glands. Furthermore, the position of the muscles also influences the position of the internal organs and the glands themselves, thus interfering with their correct functioning and adequate communication between them.

Kinesiology , used above all in sports and rehabilitation, aims to balance the functioning of the muscles , but also to intervene on the whole , and not on the single apparatus or single muscle.

From this point of view, Touch for Health kinesiology is part of the holistic therapies that aim to rebalance the overall well-being of the body and mind.

In fact, it is now established that the position of the body , postures, attitudes and gestures, as well as the production of some hormones and the functioning of the organs, also contribute to model the character predisposition and the state of mind of the person to whom they belong.

Kinesiology works, unlike many other physical manipulative techniques, on the antagonist muscles rather than the muscles directly affected by the pain or imbalance. In this way it strengthens the state of equilibrium, starting from the concept that if there is tension in a muscle there will be weakness in the antagonist.

Touch for Health kinesiology also acts on the energetic circulation of the acupuncture meridians.

Kinesiology: the health benefits

Kinesiology is a holistic practice , because its effects extend over the entire system of the human being. Most of the time we turn to a kinesiologist for treatments concerning muscular problems, without further investigating the causes, and often distal effects, of a particular imbalance.

The most evident benefits are therefore those affecting the muscles and the skeleton : pain, stiffness, trauma, muscle overwork or weakness, of any kind in any district. So kinesiology can be indicated in the treatment of back pain , joint pain , headache , carpal tunnel syndrome , etc.

But kinesiology also acts beneficially in states in which the emotional component is very important, such as stress , anxiety , depression , insomnia , irritability , mood swings , panic attacks .

For its action on internal organs and hormonal functioning , kinesiology can also be applied to skin problems , allergies, eczema , menstrual pain , weight problems , hypertension .

There are many benefits of kinesiology , and it is easy to understand how you can adopt and choose a Touch for Health kinesiological muscle rebalancing treatment for many ailments, starting from the concept of health that underlies this holistic therapy.

The body is a coherent and structured whole, the various parts, the various districts, the organs are all connected and interdependent systems, the well-being of one is the well-being of all, while the dysfunction of just one of them damages the whole balance.

Taking care of a small part , putting it in a position to heal itself, having faith in the body’s innate ability to repair what our actions have compromised, means taking care of the whole, respecting the personal and special balance of each of us.
