Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology is a non-invasive system that evaluates structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health using muscle testing. Results of the muscle testing are confirmed with palpation, orthopedic examinations, and neurological evaluation. Goals set forth by the International College of Applied Kinesiology, are to provide a non-equipment-intensive assessment of the patient's functional health status.

  • Restore postural balance, correct impaired gait, improve range of motion.
  • Restore normal neuromuscular function.
  • Achieve balance of endocrine, immune, digestive, and other internal functions.
  • Permit early intervention in degenerative diseases.

Although weakness in a specific muscle is said to be a clue to possible problems in its associated organ or gland; practitioners do not claim that the results are diagnostically definitive. They say that improper performance in a manual muscle test may be due to nerve dysfunction, nutritional inadequacy, toxic chemicals, abnormal circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, tension in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, poor circulation of blood or lymph fluid, or "meridian system imbalance."

Testimonials

"I used to have extreme fatigue, and only had energy to walk from my bed to the couch. I had swelling in my neck, eyes and legs. I also experienced discomfort every time I tried to eat. That is all behind me now, since seeing Dr. Goltl! I have not felt so balanced physically and emotionally in 30 years. My energy level is awesome. I don't experience much discomfort at all. My emotional state is not on a roller coaster ride anymore. Have an open mind. Relax and enjoy the process of your body healing itself. The results are unbelievable."

"When I began treatment with Dr. Goltl I had hip pain, knee pain, and emotional issues. I hurt in many places and did not feel at my best. Now I feel 100% better with no pain. Keep an open mind, you don't have to be in pain, take pills, or get cut up. Try this first!"

"After my brother had a total hip replacement and multiple seizures, other doctors wanted me to realistically accept his deteriorating interaction with his environment, because he was a 63-year-old with downs syndrome. After seeing Dr. Goltl, my brother is more animated and now cares about what is going on around him. He asked to go back to his old activities of horse back riding, bowling, and basketball. If you have been to other doctors without tangible improvements, or have yet to consult another doctor, see Dr. Goltl first."
