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.

Muscle 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 Refl ex Analysis (CRA) and Nutrition Response Testing (NRT). To do muscle testing eff ectively, 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. Th is is very diff erent than a comprehensive muscle testing system such as NRT.
Nutrition Response Testing Explained
Th ere are two parts to the Nutrition Response Testing system: the analysis and the individual program design. During the analysis, a variety of refl ex points on the body are tested to identify and prioritize what the person needs. Each organ has a refl ex point (dermatome) on the skin’s surface that is connected by the nervous system to that specifi c organ. Energy fl ows through the nervous system from the dermatome to the organ unless it is disrupted by internal or external forces. Th e application of slight pressure to the refl ex point during muscle testing can create an ischemic reaction which causes the arm to weaken. Th e 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. Th ey have visited other practitioners and have not gotten the results they were hoping for or expected. Th ese 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.
