Kinesiology
Kinesiology (kin-easy-ology) or muscle testing, is a technique for getting direct feedback from the body. It has the unique ability to isolate critical emotionally charged memories from the past. These may be things that have long since slipped from conscious memory, or they may be our interpretations of things that happened in the past – they might be real or imagined. Billions of signals are sent from muscles to the brain at any given time regarding position, tension and movement. These signals are being continually monitored and the muscle response adjusted accordingly without any conscious awareness. This is how we stand without falling over, move to pick up objects, blink our eyes or walk automatically.
In muscle testing the muscle is being monitored for its resistance or “feel” as it attempts to lock up against a repeatedly applied test pressure. While you may consciously decide to lock up a muscle, it is your subconscious that decides just how this is to be done. Without stress, a muscle will lock. Under stress, a muscle will unlock. You will be familiar with the feeling of going weak at the knees on hearing bad news. Muscle testing works in a similar way but is capable of identifying far more subtle levels of stress.
Dis-ease or pain is more than just something that ‘happens’ to you at random, and much more than the result of poor diet, genetics or bacteria’s. The recipe for illness, pain, and difficulties in life, includes specific imbalances on ALL human levels: emotions, spirit, energy, personality, psychology and experiences to name a few, as well as genetics, chemistry, nutrition and physiology. All of these levels together power the way your body functions and the way your life takes shape.
These levels operate in complex, symbiotic relationships that make each of us uniquely what we are, so when there is pain or illness, ALL of them play their part in creating it. Each of them will unbalance in certain ways to produce different parts of the problem. Your brain and nervous system knows which level did what, why, to what degree and how, so the information is there. Medicine and other therapies cannot access this information. They try to standardise us for convenience and treat one or two levels by force, usually out of context to the other levels, and causing even more imbalances as well as hit and miss results.
If 10 people have the same symptom, that symptom has been created in 10 completely different ways. Logically the treatment should be as unique as the person. Kinesiology, directly & accurately, addresses each of these levels as uniquely as they were created. This is the key to wellbeing. Only Kinesiology can identify and specifically correct each unbalanced level internally, naturally and in context to other levels for true healing and wellbeing. Even more fascinating is the way Kinesiology uses your own body ie: muscle testing, as the tool and biofeedback mechanism to ‘tailor make’ corrections for each imbalance so each person’s experience of Kinesiology is completely different.

Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage is a focussed treatment that uses all techniques known to the therapist to effect recovery including trigger point therapy, myofasial release and stretching to restore optimal soft tissue function (muscles, tendons, ligaments).
Although these techniques may initially cause discomfort they are effective for treatment purposes and outcomes.
During a remedial massage treatment, the therapist assesses muscle condition to determine causes of pain, targeting treatment for the source as well as the symptoms.
Treatment & subsequent recommended treatments will depend on the condition, how long it has existed, and how your body responds to the determined treatment plan.

Breanna came to Kinesiology while searching for a solution to personal health issues.

Her passion and joy in creating lasting solutions has lead her to work extensively with social issues such as Depressive Tendencies, Mood Disorders and Addictive Behaviour among other things.
A continued passion for learning and professional development led to the expansion into remedial massage, and it is with the same level of care and attention that she now produces excellent work in both arenas.

John Louws
Remedial Massage Therapist
While studying to gain his Diploma of Remedial Massage, and subsequently providing service to many clients, John has gained an appreciation of the diversity in soft tissue conditions and especially the way in which remedial techniques can assist in the recovery of associated dysfunction. In treatments performed, the remediation of constraints brought about by abnormal soft tissue condition is the focus of John's work.
John's special interest areas include:
* Neck, shoulder and back pain
* Support for joint functionality
* Tennis elbow
* Golfers elbow
* Hamstrings & quadriceps
* Shin splints
* Ankle & foot issues
* Sprains & strains
John also has an interest in the provision of remedial therapeutic services to the workplace, which help to relieve, and thereby remediate, the tension and stress associated with daily work routines.
As part of a treatment plan John will advise of areas in which an individual may support their treatment and prolong its effectiveness through stretching, exercise and postural self management.
"The human body is an amazing structure; it's function and care are an individual responsibility. It is therefore appropriate to seek out and employ skills and services that support optimal function including but not limited to, health, fitness, happiness, integrity, diet and welfare. These and many other qualities, well cared for, are then able to contribute to family, community and ultimately the very society that defines what well-being can really mean for each of us, our country and the world."
