Applied Kinesiology in Castle Rock, CO
A Personalized Approach to Muscle Testing
Applied kinesiology is a complementary assessment technique that uses manual muscle testing as part of an individual’s overall wellness evaluation. At Infinite Wellness in Castle Rock, CO, applied kinesiology may be incorporated alongside other assessment methods and holistic wellness services based on each patient’s individual needs.
During muscle testing, a practitioner applies gentle pressure to specific muscles while evaluating the body’s response. The information gathered may be considered alongside a patient’s health history, symptoms, wellness goals and other appropriate testing.
At Infinite Wellness, applied kinesiology is not used as a replacement for conventional medical testing or diagnosis. Instead, it may be incorporated into a broader, individualized approach to wellness.
Our Castle Rock clinic serves patients from Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Elizabeth and surrounding Colorado communities.
How Does Applied Kinesiology Work?
Applied kinesiology uses manual muscle testing to observe how a muscle responds to gentle resistance applied by a practitioner. The practitioner may evaluate different muscles and consider those observations within the broader context of the patient’s health and wellness concerns.
A visit may also involve discussion of lifestyle, nutrition, physical concerns, stress and other factors that could be relevant to the patient’s goals.
Because health concerns can have many potential causes, muscle testing should not be viewed as a substitute for medical diagnostic testing. At Infinite Wellness, it may instead be one component of a broader wellness evaluation.
Patients interested in additional assessment services can also learn about our biofeedback therapy and food sensitivity testing services.
What Happens During an Applied Kinesiology Appointment?
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your health history, current concerns and wellness goals. This provides context before any muscle testing or other assessments are performed.
During manual muscle testing, you may be asked to hold an arm, leg or another muscle in a particular position while the practitioner applies gentle pressure. The practitioner observes the muscle’s response as part of the assessment.
Depending on your individual situation, your visit may also involve discussion of nutrition, lifestyle habits or other wellness services offered at Infinite Wellness.
Recommendations are individualized rather than following the same protocol for every patient.
Applied Kinesiology and Whole-Person Wellness
Infinite Wellness offers applied kinesiology within a practice that incorporates multiple complementary wellness approaches.
Rather than looking at one concern in isolation, we can discuss factors such as nutrition, lifestyle, physical discomfort and other aspects of a patient’s overall wellness.
Depending on your individual needs, recommendations may involve applied kinesiology alongside services such as nutritional guidance, acupuncture, biofeedback or Chinese herbology.
The appropriate approach varies from person to person, which is why your health history and individual goals are an important part of the process.

The Reticular Activating System
All messages from your sensory, visual, auditory and other nerve endings, including all thoughts, are processed through the brain. The brain must immediately decide what is important and what is not at any time. The part of your subconscious mind which regulates that special software program in your body is called the Reticular Activating System. This system functions as a filtering system—working to filter data into either your conscious or unconscious. Needed information lies just below the surface for recall and specifically to monitor the body. If the system records an imbalance, you are notified immediately by your body and mind working together to create a symptom.
As shown in the book “Applied Kinesiology: Muscle Response in Diagnosis, Therapy and Preventative Medicine,”by Tom Valentine, Carol Valentine and Douglas P. Hetrick, a practitioner using Applied Kinesiology can evaluate various bodily functions by testing muscles and present with a fairly accurate picture of the conditions and needs of your glands, lymph system, nervous system, circulation, and muscle and bone structure. A practitioner using Applied Kinesiology during an examination will add a new dimension to a standard diagnosis or treatment.
History of Applied Kinesiology
