Seems similar to my approach, could be helpful. Anyone have any input on this?
RE: Kinesiology and Shiatsu
Hi Jbarry,
I don't really understand your question... do you mean that Kinesiology and Shiatsu have the same way of treating as your therapy.
Kinesiology and Shiatsu are very diiferent. Kinesiology is way to get information from body and mind about its' state of being. The therapist muscle test the patient by applying a small amount of pressure of the muscle tested. If the muscle is strong when tested the energy that supplies this muscle is free flowing and we can move to another muscle. If the muscle test fails then it is a problem. Kinesiology will use therapy localisation to find which area of the body has a problem.
Shiatsu is an ancient system of body work. It is in fact acupressure hands, elbows, knees or feet are used to activate changes in the meridian system of life energy within the body.
Hope this helps,

RE: Kinesiology and Shiatsu
Through the 4 observations and then stretches I can feel which muscles are over activated or underactivated and by touch I can feel the tension and kyo/ jitsu meridians in that area and then treat. I feel Kinesiology and Shiatsu are closer than further apart and could improve my muscle testing through negative and positive activations. In a nutshell.
RE: Kinesiology and Shiatsu
Hi
I am not quite sure whether I understand your question correctly? However, I feel there are similarities in the two methods, as both balance the meridian system. A shiatsu practitioner senses the imbalance/s and uses acupressure points to stimulate energy flow along individual meridians.
A kinesiologist doesn't need to sense anything he/she uses muscle testing to determin any imbalance, and then uses specific neuro-lymphatic points and massages them, uses neuro-vascular points where only light touch is applied, 'brushes' the actual meridian involved along its line, uses chiropractic techniques to manipulates bones/vertebraes/cranials (if appl.), uses nutritional/herbals/homeopatic supplements (if appl.) and uses essences (flower/chrystal, etc.) to work with the emotional aspect (if appl.) - in order to re-balance the meridian/body. Kinesiology can be taken further to incorporate chakras/aura/food sensitivities/colour/sound and anything else that is out there!
I would call a true holistic therapy.
If this did not answer your question, would you be so kind and clarify?!
Thank you
love & light
