A Complementary Skill That Can Expand Your Professional Offering
Applied Kinesiology offers an interesting additional modality for people building a career in complementary wellness. By learning structured muscle response testing and the balancing approaches taught in the course, you can develop a service that may complement massage, reflexology, nutrition, holistic therapy and other wellness disciplines.
For an established practitioner, the course can broaden the way you approach client sessions and add another service or complementary skill to your existing practice. For a new practitioner, it provides a foundation from which to begin developing a kinesiology-focused wellness offering.
The course is particularly valuable because the manual connects muscle testing with physical, nutritional and emotional factors through what it describes as the Triad of Health.
About the Applied Kinesiology Course
The CAMS Applied Kinesiology Certificate Course explores the principles behind kinesiology and teaches the muscle-testing, meridian and complementary balancing concepts used within this approach.
You will study the muscular and nervous systems, Indicator Muscle testing, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, meridians, stress-release points, Cross Crawl techniques, nutritional concepts, relaxation and a variety of balancing approaches. The course also examines the relationship between physical, nutritional and emotional factors and how these are considered within the kinesiology framework.
The emphasis is on giving you a broad foundation from which you can understand kinesiology sessions and develop your knowledge of this complementary wellness modality. The official course outline also identifies professionalism and work ethics when performing a kinesiology session as an intended course outcome.
Why Study This Course
If you are looking for a complementary therapy that can differentiate your professional offering, Applied Kinesiology provides an unusual combination of muscle response testing, energy concepts, stress management and nutritional theory.
It can be particularly useful for existing wellness practitioners who want to expand the range of approaches they understand and offer, while aspiring practitioners can use the course as a starting point for developing a specialised wellness service.
Because kinesiology can be combined with other complementary disciplines, it may also fit well alongside massage, reflexology, nutrition, aromatherapy, herbalism and other holistic approaches studied through CAMS. The manual itself describes kinesiology as a flexible therapy that has traditionally been used alongside numerous complementary disciplines.
