Kinesiology: the use of muscle testing to identify imbalances in the body's structural, chemical, emotional or other energy, to establish the body's priority healing needs, and to evaluate energy changes brought about by a broad spectrum of both manual and non-manual therapeutic procedures.

Applied Kinesiology (AK): a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis. The doctor using AK finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. The doctor works out the treatment that will best balance the patient's muscles. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counselling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures. AK uses the Triad of Health. That is Chemical, Mental and Structural factors that balance the major health categories. The Triad of Health is interactive and all sides must be evaluated for the underlying cause of a problem. A health problem on one side of the triad can affect the other sides. For example, a chemical imbalance can cause mental symptoms. AK enables the doctor to evaluate the triad's balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides. AK skills are developed and approved by the International College of Applied Kinesiology Board of Standards. These skills are refined from many disciplines including Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Medicine, Dentistry, Acupuncture, Biochemistry, Psychology, Homeopathy, and Naturopathy etc. Members of these professions share knowledge through the publications and conferences of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK). A Doctor using AK during an examination will add a new dimension to standard diagnostics.

Clinical Kinesiology: a science dedicated to helping the doctor accurately diagnose the conditions of the body and the factors that may be missing or interfering with the optimum healing process. If the doctor intercedes at the right time, the healing process can be successfully guided and enhanced. Clinical Kinesiology is a breakthrough in the understanding of human function in health and disease. It Allows the body to express its needs, it gives the doctor an organize system of investigation for diagnosis and logical system of therapeutics, and it points out the need for the patient to take responsibility and gives the doctor a method of evaluating progress. A radical departure from invasive procedure. Alan G. Beardall, DC. developed the most extensive amount of research known today on muscles of the human body. Not only does his work contain detailed information on the proper function of each muscle but it also contains the most specific method of testing each division of each muscle. Dr. Beardall was a pioneer of biological research in the human body. Clinical Kinesiology looks upon the body as a living biological computer. The body has numerous complicated functions and enormous variety of data banks. Electronic computers come equipped with instructional manuals however the manual of the body is in the process of being translated. There are no easy solution to health problems. The clinical kinesiologist observes the blueprint of the body and, with advanced chiropractic procedures, searches for the underlying cause to the symptoms the body displays.

Matrix Reflex Testing (MRT): introduced in 1998 by Dr. Louisa Williams, it is a technique for bio feedback testing. The MRT system measures the state of the connective tissue, or matrix tissue, in the body, and is an even more sensitive diagnostic tool than kinesiology for determining the most effective therapeutic interventions in patients. In addition to the aforementioned diagnostic assessments measured in NK, the MRT method also includes testing for the need for drainage remedies (from Belgium), auriculotherapy (from France) and constitutional homeopathy (from India). MRT assists doctors and practitioners in determining the underlying cause of a patient's pain, dysfunction or disease, and the most specific and optimum form of treatment.

Neural Kinesiology: a testing method to enable medical and dental practitioners to assess the functional state, as well as diagnose the most frequent functional disturbances of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and to guide the treatment of the same. This elegant and sophisticated testing system is a combination of the best and most effective techniques from all of the kinesiological schools of thought and practice (Applied, Clinical and Educational) in conjunction with ANS research.

Ontological Kinesiology: clinical kinesiology is a diagnosis technique that uses modes or gestures to pinpoint the actual problem at hand, and the sequencing of these modes to elicit a treatment protocol. Ontology is "the sequence of events that create our state or being", and Ontological Kinesiology is the use of modes and kinesiology to understand the events that have brought us to our present dysfunction.

Psycho-Kinesiology: uses both muscle testing and cognitive therapeutic techniques. With the introduction of cognitive techniques a practitioner finds what needs to be done. With the muscle testing he or she finds what the unconscious is doing about it. Hence, Psycho kinesiology is a holistic process. It assumes that the individual is a complete system operating at peak efficiency for its present experiences. It works with the whole system correcting both conscious and unconscious operations.
