KSA does not just offer Kinesiology techniques. We offer a successful protocol that has been proven through time by many practitioners. The quality techniques, high level lecturers who are all practitioners, and proven protocol guide our graduates to success. This is why we are the best at what we do. If you want a successful Kinesiology practice, Kinesiology Schools Australia is here for you. You can search for other colleges but there is no need to look any further. This is the course for you. The Kinesiology taught by Kinesiology Schools Australia is the only style of Kinesiology researched at a University and successfully shown to be effective.

Kinesiology Unit Descriptions BKP101 Energisers and Self Testing This first unit is all about teaching you how to take care of and balance yourself. After all, you the practitioner must stay healthy in body and mind to be able to help others. These techniques can also be used to teach clients some basic skills they can use at home to help themselves between consultations. Basic anatomical parts of the body and terminology are also learnt. Setting well worded powerful goals is the basis of a good Kinesiology balance. In this unit you will learn the skills for goal setting that will be used in every balance in the future. BKP102 Proficient Manual Muscle Testing This unit introduces you to the art of muscle testing, which is the basis of Kinesiology. You learn to balance other people, using brain/muscle feedback, known as muscle testing or muscle monitoring, to identify dysfunctions and stress. You also learn how to identify and correct the most common causes of disorganisation in the brain. BKP103 Introduction to the Law of Five Elements An introduction of Chinese 5 Element philosophies to balance the energy using colour, sound and the emotions is the theme of this unit. Here you will learn techniques to correct and confirm the changes you make in a 5 Element balance and using food to strengthen muscles, meridians and organs. BKP104 Kinesiology and Superficial Connections Using the direction of energy flow you will learn a number of effective ways to improve and restore balance to meridians and their related muscles and organs. Students also learn more basic Anatomy and Physiology. BKP105 The Law of Five Elements In-Depth Learning the 5 Element principles in depth and working with the full chart of emotions takes you to a whole new level of knowledge. An extra 14 muscles allows you a greater variety of ways to balance the client. You will also learn how to identify and use one single correction to return the person to balance. BKP106 Professional Skills – Balancing Protocol with PKP Database BKP106 brings much of what you have previously learnt together. Using the specialised protocols that set PKP Kinesiology ahead of the rest, you will learn how to use finger modes and to go back to balance stressful times in the past that affect us today. This is a real turning point and turns you into a practitioner.


BKP107 Pain Reduction This unit teaches you how to evaluate and reduce pain using a number of simple but powerful techniques. This is a favourite with most students as there are always people with pain. By the end of this weekend many students no longer have the pains they have had for years. This opens a huge potential to bring clients in to your clinic. BKP108 Balancing with Food Focusing on nutrition this unit teaches an understanding of why the body requires a variety of nutrients and how the body uses these nutrients. We also look at a number of ‘diets’ and how to test the person to see if they may react to foods. By the end of this unit you will be able to balance people and help them achieve optimal nutrition for their wellbeing or whatever activity they require. BKP109 Advanced Muscle Techniques – Reactivity and Posture In this unit you start learning the first of the advanced techniques where messages from the brain are confused causing reoccurring problems. EMS201 Mastery of Emotional Stress Release This unit develops skills to defuse a variety of emotional stress issues and help the client come up with answers to their problems and move forward. Techniques include active listening, challenges to authority and terminating a relationship and more importantly how and when to use each one. This is a unit all Kinesiologists need. EMS302 Subconscious Self-Perception Here you will learn how to find and work with the subtle messages that interfere with achieving your desired outcomes in life. Those little voices and self-talk known as sabotage programs, misperceptions and misunderstandings and those little hypnotic messages that have snuck up on us over time affect our every essence. ECO201 Lifestyle and Dietary Modification Here you learn Kinesiology techniques relating to dietary habits and lifestyle and how to identify nutritional excess and deficiencies and when clients need to add or delete supplements and alter foods. ECO202 Immune Mismatch Responses, Allergies and Hypersensitivities Continuing where BKP108 stops, you learn various sensitivity techniques to identify and release stressful foods and substances (sensitivities and reactions). These are becoming an epidemic in our society. Learn how you can help.


ECO301 Adrenal, Geopathic and Life Energy Completing this unit will help you increase energy, vitality and high level wellness by balancing fatigue-vitality, adrenal dysfunction and lifestyle change and create a personal enhancement programme. JAF201 TMJ and Cranials Headaches and migraines are just two symptoms caused by jaw muscles and cranial problems. Here you learn to reset these imbalances bringing relief to many. The cranial bones are also involved in learning difficulties, emotional stress and numerous other problems. JAF301 Ligaments and Joints This unit teaches advanced techniques so you can work effectively with ligament and joint injuries affecting so many people. Many people ‘put up’ with pain simply because they don’t know how they can be helped. JAF301 is the answer to many of these problems. MST201 Muscle and Skin Activation MST201 develops skills and understanding in identifying and correcting meridian energy imbalance related to muscle circuits, skin, scars, blood chemistry, thymus and spleen energy. This variety of techniques covers a number of key areas not previously covered in other units. MST202 Shoulder, Elbow, Hand Muscle Protocol You will learn test and correction techniques to release pain, increase the function and performance of the shoulder, arm, hand and fingers. We all know people with pain and MST202, MST203 and MST301 are major units to release these pains. With this unit you will be able to help most non-surgical injuries from shoulder to finger tips. MST203 Hip, Leg and Foot Muscles This unit is similar to MST202 except it is for the lower extremities. You will master ‘test and correction’ techniques to release pain, increase the function and performance of the hip, leg, knee and foot. You will be able to help most nonsurgical injuries from hip to toe. MST301 Head, Neck and Trunk Protocol The variety of muscles learnt in this unit helps you fine tune areas that most practitioners wouldn’t know where to even start. These are muscles of the face, eyes, throat, tongue, upper neck and the small back muscles. This can help with the very common neck pain to the more specific muscles used in singing, swallowing and speech.


PIB203 Basic Brain Integration Skills Learning difficulties is a topic of high discussion. Kinesiology is a huge help to both adults and children with these problems. In this unit you will learn techniques related to neurological blind spots caused by fear, pain and self-doubt for learning difficulties and dyslexia. VEF201 Flower Essences Flower essences open up a whole new world to students. Through flower essences you learn to identify and utilize insights relating to their properties and photographic images of flowers, to re-balance mental, emotional and spiritual energy. VEF301 Gems and other Vibrational Energy Fields Continuing from VEF201 you will learn about the healing powers of a variety of powerful vibrational healing systems such as gems, tissue salts and homeopathics and their use within Kinesiology. VEF302 Metaphysical Energy Fields In this unit you will learn how to evaluate and correct a variety of vibrational energy fields such as chakras and the auric fields that are vital in connecting our physical body to our environment which play a big part in our health and how we perform.

Why Study With Kinesiology Schools Australia KSA is dedicated exclusively to teaching Kinesiology, allowing for focussed learning in this specialist field.


We pride ourselves on our student support including online training resources, student practise nights and an amazing Facebook community where students can share highlights and ask questions. Both industry bodies accredit our courses – the Australian Kinesiology Association (AKA) and the Australian Institute of Kinesiology (AIK) are the two industry bodies for Kinesiology. The Diploma of Kinesiology is a fully progressive course. A specific protocol is taught so that students have an organised order to follow to ensure success in the fastest time possible. The Diploma of Kinesiology is Austudy approved. As Kinesiology is a “hands on modality” we allow for plenty of practical experience. Graduates of the Diploma can join either industry body as a professional member and qualify for their clients to receive Health Fund Rebates. Courses are taught on weekends (check with your local campus) so that people can still work while they study. All Kinesiology units are face to face with a teacher. We do not believe that Kinesiology can be taught successfully via correspondence. We offer non-Kinesiology units by correspondence so that students can start at any time and study in their own time. KSA has 7 campuses from Melbourne to Hervey Bay – if a student moves interstate they can transfer their studies easily for a minimal administration fee. All our lecturers are high quality active Kinesiology practitioners who have completed advanced specialised training with the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice. Kinesiology Schools Australia is big enough to be a professional organisation, but small enough to still be personal and treat you as a person and not a number. PKP has a proven record since the early 80s and is one of the only Kinesiology styles backed with University research. Professionally written by a medical doctor.

How You Could Be Feeling Just One Year From Now Just a very little something to say a big thank you for this year. I am so glad I came to this college. This year really has been life changing. I love Kinesiology! Thank you for all you have done. ~ Pepa Silsby Thanks Bronwyn and Danny and everyone at the school. This has been and will continue to be life changing. Really couldn't do it without the support we get and also this fabulous group of people I'm so blessed to be in class with. See you in class or at practice night. ~ Zena Hosseini Really appreciate all you've done for us... It's only now that the classes are finished and I've had a chance to reflect back on all we've learned that I appreciate the enormity of the task we've accomplished... And it felt easier and achievable because of all the support you provided us.. And for me personally also the support I got from the wonderful people I shared the course with. I started the course to learn new skills, but never expected to feel so much love for and from so many wonderful people. Truly a pleasure. ~ Paul Gough
