Applied Kinesiology | Muscle Testing

What is Applied Kinesiology?

applied kinesiologyApplied Kinesiology utilizes muscle testing to evaluate how the body is functioning. When muscles are found to be out of balance or weak, this can be a result of spinal/cranial restrictions, allergies, organ dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, toxicities, muscle injuries, postural imbalances, etc. These problems can be brought back to normal function by using various techniques such as spinal/extremity adjusting, cranial adjusting, TMJ work, neuro-reflexes, visceral work, soft tissue mobilization, exercise therapy, diet management, nutrient/food testing, and supplementation with herbs, vitamins, or minerals that your body may need. 

Applied Kinesiology is a diagnostic and treatment technique that evaluates structural, chemical, and emotional imbalances in the body. Dr. Julia uses this hands-on approach to identify root causes of dysfunction and tailor personalized, holistic treatments. By assessing how your body responds to specific stimuli, she can pinpoint imbalances that may not appear through conventional testing. This allows for a more accurate and comprehensive care plan that promotes natural healing, improved energy, and optimal health.

Applied kinesiology may be used alongside your health history, physical examination, movement assessment, and other clinical information to help guide personalized recommendations. At Renew Health & Wellness in McKinney, TX, Dr. Julia Augustyniak uses this hands-on approach as one part of a broader whole-body evaluation, with care tailored to each patient’s symptoms, goals, and overall wellness needs.
