Kinesiology

Kinesiology is a complementary therapy based on the theory that manual muscle testing can provide information about imbalances and stresses in the body. A kinesiologist does not diagnose or treat, instead they work with the client to explore how to bring the body back into balance. This may involve massaging specific points, providing suggestions such as nutritional supplements, relaxation techniques, lifestyle changes, flower essences and more.

In a Kinesiology session, the client remains fully clothed. The kinesiologist will place the client’s arm or leg into a specific position and will apply a light pressure against the muscle that is being tested while the client is asked to match the pressure. At no time should the client experience pain or discomfort with the testing.

Kinesiology is a relaxing, non-invasive therapy which encourages a sense of wellbeing. As such it may be helpful to those seeking relief from a range of minor symptoms and to ease emotional, physical or mental stress.

Kinesiology offers a wonderful range of techniques including:

• Food sensitivity testing and desensitisation techniques.
• Vitamin and mineral deficiency screening.
• Ileocecal valve correction and targeted protocols to support the microbiome.
• Subclinical hiatus hernia balance.
• Techniques to support the abdominal floor and ease cystitis, also a uterine lift.
• Emotional stress release programme. This includes the use of eye movements, affirmations, tapping and flower essences. Centering and grounding techniques can be included as well as a trauma recall technique.
• Supporting blood sugar regulation and blood chemistry.
• Lymphatic massage and a specialised technique to ease oedema. 
• Cranial techniques including vagus nerve balancing.
• Injury recall where an old injury is still causing problems and emotional tissue scanning to identify areas where emotions and trauma may be stored in our body. 
• Structural corrections for the jaw in support of a number of conditions including bruxism. Easing tight and firming loose muscles.
• Supporting hyper and hypo tension.
• Targeted technique for skin lesions, lumps and bumps including eczema, psoriasis, acne, moles, warts, rosacea, alopecia etc.

A wheel balance is great for an initial session. A full wheel balance looks at each of the main muscles linked to our meridians. It is like an MOT for the mind, body and gut. 

I provide individual bespoke balances to target problem areas including ankles, bladder, endocrine, hips, hormones, immunity, intestines, knees, lower back, neck, shoulders, stress, and wrists. 

Balances are complemented by dietary and lifestyle recommendations to follow for up to eight-weeks.

I also offer chakra balancing and aura polishing. This may include crystals, Hayo'u gua sha tools, AuroSoma pomanders or quintessances, flower essences, essential oils, and / or tuning forks.

“Wow! What an experience with Laura today. She was spot on with how I had been feeling and treated me accordingly. It was amazing, I felt totally rejuvenated after my consultation! Highly recommend!”

Endocrine balance client, Somerset

A poorly functioning ileocecal valve (ICV) is very common. It is frequently the cause of “I just don't feel right” together with many types of pain (back, neck etc), inflamed joints, brain fog, low energy, loose bowels, constipation or unexplained digestive complaints.

The proper movement of food through our digestive system is controlled by several valves. The ICV is located between the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. It controls the flow of digested food when it leaves the small intestine and goes into the large intestine. It should open and close at appropriate times. If it stays open too long or not long enough, problems occur.

I offer a specialised Systematic Kinesiology® ICV correction technique. Aftercare advice will be sent to follow for a minimum of two-weeks. 

Primary reflexes are automatic movements which are directed from the brain stem to assist a baby’s survival during the first weeks and months of life. These need to be inhibited by higher brain centres to allow more sophisticated neural structures to be developed. If they are not fully integrated they can inhibit neurological development. 

Signs may include:

• Difficulty with handwriting
• Struggle with reading
• Clumsy
• Poor posture
• Confused by left / right directions
• Anger
• Walk on balls of feet or toes
• Easily distracted
• Dislike of bright lights or too much stimulus 
• Fidgety
• Messy eating
• Uncomfortable in certain clothing or feeling on skin
• Problem with sport or catching a ball

I offer retained primary reflexes integration sessions by using muscle testing and balancing techniques. 

Systematic Kinesiology® is a great way of carrying out a deficiency screening.

"I just wanted to share with you that xxx received the Learner’s Trophy today at school for doing so well this year and always giving everything a go. We have really noticed such a change in her these last couple of months especially with her concentration and I believe this is a result of our time with you. I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen at her next session."

"Before we were able to book to see Laura, I'd taken my son to see the GP and Osteopath as an interim with little positive success. One session with Laura identified the issue, provided a plan forward and gave my son immediate relief from his abdominal discomfort. I've never met anyone with such an in-depth knowledge of her field of expertise and have recommended her to many people and will continue to do so. She is one of the best therapists I have ever met."

Mum, Wiltshire 

"She is buzzing - I can’t thank you enough. She is excited again. You did so well with her, she isn’t the easiest of clients, lol. It was nice she felt comfortable talking to you to tell you what is wrong as she wouldn’t tell the doctors etc. She is a happy girl with her new diet! She is already dancing in front of the mirror again."
