Muscle testing workshop at New Renaissance Bookshop
As I started my path toward improving my life I got to a point where things became better but I was making the wrong choices or was not sure which paths to follow. A book called Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD changed all that.
By using reactions from your body to test the energy of different things in life I realized that I can use muscle testing to find out what was best for my health, goals and life purpose.
A high shoulder, as seen on her right, can be related to an inhibited Latissimus Dorsi muscle which is related to the Spleen Meridian
Dr. George Goodheart was a true genius and I am very grateful to of least spent a small amount of time with him. He was the person responsible for the rediscovery of “Muscle Testing” and the knowledge of muscles being related to organs, glands and their related acupuncture meridians (which seems to have been known in prehistoric times according to the Egyptian Papyrus Ebers 1150B.C.).
Act as if you have an intuitive ability to know what is going on with a person’s health
So if you think about it, if a health care professional knows the relations of the muscles and the meridians, and has s good knowledge of posture, gait (walking and running biomechanics) then they can simply observe someone walk or run and know what is going on internally. By observing the person from the outside they can read what is going on internally. Continue reading →
Excess cortisol can weaken you ligaments and create injuries
One of the greatest health issues of our day is functional adrenal gland stress. Our adrenal glands are the back up system for your body. When you are under stress they supply your body with hormones that help you to keep going.
Types of adrenal gland stress:
Structural = Misalignment of joints, muscle pulls, trigger points, arthritis
Chiropractic adjustments are undermined by certain foods
Wheat is on the list of foods to avoid in keeping your body healthy.
Here is something that most chiropractors don’t know. The foods you eat have an affect on the muscles of your body. The bones of your spine are supported and guided by your muscles. You muscles can be affected by the foods you eat.
Food sensitivities cause more than allergic reactions and digestive problems
There are some foods that are on my “Stay away from” list.
Wheat
Corn
Milk products (Butter is OK)
Soy
Refined Sugar
These foods will have an immediate affect on the muscles of your body. The best way to demonstrate this is to show you what happens. Continue reading →
Chiropractic overlooks adrenal glands in low back pain
Chronic low back pain can be the result of stressed adrenal glands.
Have you ever been to a chiropractor and had an adjustment and everything immediately felt better and stayed that way? Alternative medicine such as chiropractic can be miraculous in situations like this.
But there are some people who don’t get well with a chiropractic adjustment, or they feel well at first but their problem keeps returning. There are many reasons for this and if you been reading my posts lately you will see some of those reasons. Continue reading →
What most Chiropractors don’t know, Chronic neck pain can be from the shoulder.
The upper trapezius muscle supports the shoulder and neck.
While working for over 15 years with applied kinesiology and chiropractic I have learned that all parts of the body are connected. Some connections are more common sense and some are more conceptual.
Chronic neck problems being caused by the shoulder not working properly is a common sense one but it also one that most doctors and chiropractors overlook.
What most Chiropractors don’t know -emotions affect muscles.
Emotions can affect the muscles of your body
I guess I was lucky because I started out as a chiropractor who knew how emotions affected the body. Emotions aren’t just in your head, they go through your whole body.
Your organs have receptors in them just like your brain does. Emotions affect organs and organs are related to muscles. If you have an organ that is not balanced energetically, or physically, the related muscles may not turn on and off properly when you walk, run or bend. It can also not work properly with a kinesiological muscle test. Continue reading →
What most chiropractors don’t know, walking and your neck.
Your walking mechanism should keep your neck pain free.
Has your chiropractor ever assessed the way you walk to work on your chronic neck problems? This should be pretty standard in the profession, or in any profession that deals with the muscles and joints of the body.
When you walk the muscles of the body turn on and off in a synchronized symphony of action. This is how one leg goes forward and the opposite arm goes forward (or at least is supposed to) and your head stays in place. Continue reading →
Things that most doctors don’t know, Chiropractic Portland
Your feet are responsible for your spinal support.
Does your chiropractor look to your feet for your chronic neck or back pain? First of all your feet are the foundation for your body. If your feet are out of alignment, or if you are wearing shoes that are not healthy for you, you can have pain anywhere in the body, especially the low back and neck. Your feet are responsible for your “Positive Support Mechanism”. As your feet are flat on the floor and the arches of your foot (all three) are being equally stretched, your body turns on its spinal support muscles. This keeps your spine erect and keeps the healthy curves in your spine. Continue reading →
Your piriformis muscles should turn on and off as you walk. If they don't you can have chronic pain and tightness.
Here is something that most doctors don’t know from a Portland, chiropractor. When you walk your Piriformis muscles are supposed to turn on and off. This is called a piriformis inhibition gait mechanism. If this mechanism is not working properly, a usually very beneficial activity like walking, will be causing problems to your spine and muscles.
Your piriformis muscles stabilize you sacrum and sacroiliac joint and keep you hip in proper rotation. If one of them does not turn off when you leg goes forward and your arm goes back when you walk it will become tight and might even cause spasms or trigger points. This can cause low back pain, sciatica pain and hip tightness.
Here is how a professional applied kinesiology doctor will assess the piriformis muscles to see if they are working properly when you are walking.
As a chiropractor who uses applied kinesiology, I have seen people try to stretch, have myo-fascial work or trigger point therapy done to tight piriformis muscles. But if it is not turning off properly that will only last as long as the person doesn’t walk.
