What is Muscle Testing? by Bernie Rosen
Would you like to learn the root cause of an underlying health concern? Are you taking many supplements and not sure if you need them all? Do you suspect you have underlying food sensitivities? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then muscle testing could be a good match for you.
M
uscle testing is a non-invasive technique used to analyze the body and determine the root causes of non-optimal health. It was developed in 1964 by a chiropractor, Dr. George Goodheart, who referred to the technique as Applied Kinesiology (AK). Other popular methods include Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) and Nutrition Response Testing (NRT). To do muscle testing effectively, a practitioner needs to have a system in place, understand what they are testing, and—most importantly—understand what the results mean. Many people will “muscle test” as a random event to determine if something is “good” for them at that moment. This is very different than a comprehensive muscle testing system such as NRT.
Nutrition Response Testing Explained
There are two parts to the Nutrition Response Testing system: the analysis and the individual program design. During the
analysis, a variety of reflex points on the body are tested to identify and prioritize what the person needs. Each organ has a reflex point (dermatome) on the skin’s surface that is connected by the nervous system to that specific organ. Energy flows through the nervous system from the dermatome to the organ unless it is disrupted by internal or external forces. The application of slight pressure to the reflex point during muscle testing can create an ischemic reaction which causes the arm to weaken. The skilled practitioner interprets the strong and weak arm readings to determine areas of weakness, the stressors causing the weakness, and the nutrition required to strengthen the body. With this information, an individualized program is developed with supplements designed to match the needs of the body. People with one or more health conditions that do not seem to go away are good candidates for muscle testing. They have visited other practitioners and have not gotten the results they were hoping for or expected. These people are dedicated to
their healing journey and realize the conditions will not get better until they get to the source of the problem and correct it.
