Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT FORM OF THERAPY IS KINESIOLOGY?
Kinesiology is a recognised natural, holistic therapy that can work alongside other physical treatments. It uses muscle testing (biofeedback) to identify imbalances that may be causing disease in the body. Kinesiology is NOT used to diagnose medical disorders, treat, prescribe or cure symptoms or stress. The re-balancing of the body promotes its natural healing processes, resulting in improved health and wellbeing on a physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual level. It aims to build new habits and thought patterns that serve to live your best life.
IS KINESIOLOGY SAFE?
Yes, Kinesiology is gentle, safe, non-invasive and effective, appropriate for all ages.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO HAPPEN DURING A SESSION?
In our initial session treatment we will go through a detailed intake form where we take a medical history and analyse your main complaint and your presenting symptoms. This is followed by client-centred counselling to understand more about your main complaint and what is behind it.
We may establish a goal for the session or work with a physical issue. Most of the work takes place on a massage table.
Your Kinesiologist uses muscle testing (a gentle push/touch on your arm) in combination with acupressure points (without needles) and body palpation to determine where there are imbalances and stress held in the body and energetic system.
Stress could be of structural, biochemical, psychological and energetic nature. We often uncover self-limiting beliefs and unprocessed emotions or deep-seated childhood patterns.
Using a variety of tools, we will diffuse the stress and blockages, restoring balance required for optimal health. The session will conclude with a summary of what we achieved and some home reinforcement, which may include but not limited to required lifestyle changes, diet adjustments, holding an acupressure point, repeating affirmations, breathing exercises, meditating, journaling and others.
HOW LONG DOES A SESSION TAKE?
Treatments take up to 60 minutes and 90 minutes for the initial session.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
Each person and each situation is different and unique to the individual. Depending on your issue, you may achieve the results you are after in one session. However, in most cases multiple sessions are required to unpack and address the cause. We generally suggest follow up sessions 2-3 or 4 weeks apart and offer a 12 session package option for follow up sessions.
Many clients continue to come in every 4-6 weeks to maintain their health and wellbeing.
WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
For most of the session you will be on a massage table fully dressed with your shoes off. You may wish to wear comfortable clothing such as pants, which allows for flexible movement.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO MY APPOINTMENT?
There is no need to bring anything, however, if you do have any medical conditions, it may be useful to view reports of recent diagnostic tests. As well as any medication and/or supplements you are on.
HOW DOES A DISTANCE SESSION WORK?
We work together online via a secure video call and the session will be similar to one held face to face in person. Instead of using your muscle, I will tap into your energy and will surrogate for you by using self muscle testing to find context and clear any imbalances.
Distance sessions are more suited to mental, emotional work and transformational coaching. They are just as effective as in-person sessions. To maximise benefits, please ensure you are free from distractions and can commit to the entire session duration.
WHAT IS SURROGATING?
By using a surrogate, we can perform a session on someone who is either not in the room or is in the room but is unable to give us information through their muscles. We use surrogates when we want to work on a baby or a young child or when someone is too sick to hold their muscles, or is in too much pain to receive pressure.
DO PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE REBATES APPLY?
Unfortunately the treatments are not being covered by private health insurance.
WHAT IF I CANNOT ATTEND AN APPOINTMENT?
You will receive a reminder via email 24 hours prior to your appointment. We ask that you to change your booking if you can no longer attend. Any cancellation of a session within 24 hours can incur a 50% administrative cancellation fee. If you fail to turn up to your appointment or cancel within 3 hours of your scheduled appointment time you will incur the full amount of the consultation.
Please give us a call or send an email if you have not found the answer to your question and require more information.
