Animal Kinesiology
Kinesiology can benefit your animal companion, who may also, at some point, feel the effects of stress due to a variety of factors. Kinesiology works in very much the same way in animals as it does in humans, gently restoring the body’s self-healing ability and identifying as well as correcting potential stressors in the animal’s environment, with the owner’s input. Among the issues that kinesiology can help solve are nutritional stress, allergies, negative emotional components, pain, the integration of muscle groups, mental and physical coordination and post-surgery recovery, to name but a few. Animal-specific corrections and information are used during a balance, but human corrections may also be relevant.
Kinesiology is a gentle, safe and non-invasive technique. Animals usually appear very relaxed during a session. In cases where pain is involved, I will be very attentive to not cause your pet any discomfort when performing a correction involving physical contact, like the stimulation of neuro-lymphatic points. The detailed history I take at the beginning of the first session allows me to know which parts of the animal’s body should be touched with care.
What to expect from an animal kinesiology session
After taking a detailed history of the problem (first session), I will carry out the muscle-testing part of the session to identify either the goal that is in your animal companion’s best interest at that specific point in time, or the issue that needs addressing. Muscle testing will also allow me to identify the nature of the stressors, and the corrections that will release the stress. The testing is done on a human surrogate, i.e. a person who "stands in" for the animal. This person is often the owner, as it is recommended that a strong bond exists between the animal and the surrogate. However, the relevant corrections will be done on the animal's body, where possible. As the surrogate, you may feel extremely attuned to the animal’s emotions or reactions.
Depending on the issue at hand, I may recommend that the animal’s owner also get a balance. The reason for this is that our animal companions tend to reflect our emotions back to us, and that, as a result, clearing a negative emotional component in the owner is likely to promote healing in the animal. As such, a kinesiology session is a beautiful way to enhance the owner-animal relationship.
