Stress Management, Conflict Resolution
Stress related work is a major part of the Kinesiology field and fundamental to its effectiveness in this area are the Emotional Stress Release or Stress Diffusion concepts. Stress release techniques are very simple yet extremely powerful. Unresolved emotions and stress can block or impair the proper functioning of the body and mind. Stress release techniques can help to clear blockages relating to past or present traumas, belief systems, negative thoughts etc. Emotional Stress Release can be used by any individual for their own benefit or to help others. It works well in any situation that causes stress, from taking exams, to asking for a pay rise, going on holiday, the breakdown of a relationship and for everyday upsets. It is a useful tool when planning ahead, setting goals and using with affirmations.

Kinesiology can be an effective way to treat stress related conditions.
What is Kinesiology?"Muscle testing" is used to detect and correct various imbalances in the body which may relieve stress, nutrition, learning difficulties, dyslexia, pain, injuries and so on.
Kinesiology is a touch therapy that links traditional Chinese acupuncture, meridians, and energy balancing with Western muscle testing, anatomy and physiology. The idea is to bring about balance in the body by releasing energy blocks, eliminating toxins, reducing tension and enhancing the body's natural healing ability. A system of natural health care that treats the person as a whole and restores balance.
