Applied Kinesiology: A Training Manual and Reference Book of Basic Principles and Practices
|
by Robert Frost PhD This book is an in-depth introductory manual for students and practitioners of Applied Kinesiology (AK), developed originally by George Goodheart. Official training in AK is limited to those with a degree studying in the institute, now this manual makes AK accessible to all therapists. This manual provides complete with professional photos and graphic diagrams, explains: a short history of AK, detailed theoretical principles, precise "how to" of the fundamental procedures, advanced techniques, 33 muscle tests with specific correction techniques, step by step plan in a therapeutic session, and case histories. Frost has developed a comprehensive guide, mapping out the basic principles and applications whereby the muscles of the body act as indicators of deeper stresses and discomforts that often have their root in muscle weakness. |

Review/ Endorsement "The name of the game, to quote a phrase, is to get people better. The body heals itself in a sure, sensible, practical, reasonable, and observable manner. “The healer within” can be approached from without... It should be done, it can be done, and this book offers a means and a measure of how it can be done. My appreciation to the author and his staff for the excellent job he has performed in advancing these principles, and my best wishes are extended to all who read this manual." George J. Goodheart, DC, Founder of Applied Kinesiology
