Discover the Path of Applied Physiology

Many individuals are drawn to Applied Physiology, one of the most respected and advanced disciplines within the field of Kinesiology, whether for personal consultations, immersive workshops, or comprehensive diploma-level training.

This discipline especially appeals to those who seek profound self-awareness, purposeful personal development, and pathways to fulfilling and impactful professional careers.

The Evolution of Kinesiology

Kinesiology’s roots trace back to the 1960s, founded on the clinical observations of Dr. George Goodheart, a chiropractor who pioneered muscle testing as a diagnostic method to reveal imbalances across the body’s structural, chemical, and emotional systems.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Dr. John Thie introduced Touch for Health, a transformative program that made Kinesiology accessible to a broader audience, empowering individuals with practical tools for self-care.

Since then, Kinesiology has evolved into a diverse, multidisciplinary field incorporating principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine, chiropractic, nutrition, psychology, acupressure, and energy medicine.

Applied Physiology stands as one of the most sophisticated and professional branches of Kinesiology, developed by Richard Utt. It employs refined observational and holographic methodologies to non-invasively detect and address stress and imbalance across the body’s complex systems, offering a comprehensive and integrative approach to restoring wellbeing and vitality.

Today, Applied Physiology and Kinesiology are practiced and taught globally, recognised as robust frameworks for personal transformation and complementary health care.
