Healthy Ageing Expo Rocks!


Hello to you all, and welcome again to Kinique-Kinesiology uniquely for you.
Yesterday I was privileged to once again be a part of Moreton Bay Region Healthy Ageing Expo, along with my fellow colleague Patrick Mounter. We are both qualified registered Kinesiologists and are members of Australian Institute of Kinesiology. Kinesiology formed one of the many "hands on" stands in the Health Check area of the Expo. We invited the public to experience kinesiology as a modality that provides health benefits as a part on an ongoing health protocol. It was demonstrated how kinesiology could assist in reducing and at times relieving pain associated with muscle disharmony, Emotional Stress Relief for highly emotional trauma triggers, and how certain foods can be perceived by your body as not being good for it. Marney Perna principle of Kinique gave a talk on "what was Kinesiology" to the waiting crowds and other stand participants. Marney was also working in conjunction with the Blood Glucose testing exhibitor to test the before and after readings of blood glucose when a specific kinesiology technique was used on an individual. There was some very interesting readings shown.
The expo was staged by Moreton Bay Regional Council Healthy Ageing Partnership with the support of Queensland Health and Department of Communities as a part of Seniors Week Celebrations. The day was literally kicked off by a Square Dance performance by Palm Lake Square dancers. A fabulous day was had by visitors, stand exhibitors and all attending.
Well done to all the organizers.

Children know how Kinesiolgy helps them.

Hi welcome back to my clinic, Kinique-Kinesiology uniquely for you. I would like to share with you a message from a young boy. His parents found my website on Natural Therapy Pages and hoped that Kinesiology would be able to assist their son and help with his inability to focus on a given task. His parents were getting concerned about his inattention both at home and at school.
When the balance started he was very amazed at how as he stated "wow, my body is talking to you and answering your questions". How cool. Using an indicater muscle I was able to "ask" his body for the priority assistance he required to help to focus on tasks. We identified a goal that was specific to the issues and then proceded to see what areas of the body was being stressed (emotionally and physically) from just stating the goal. Both of his parents came to the initail consultation and they were wondering if maybe their son was once again not concentrating enough and therefor unable to keep his arm upright. They felt that he just wasn't making the effort to do it.
I then asked his Dad if he was following the procedure and if he would like to assit me with an experiment to which he agreed. I was able to show him that his son was in fact trying very hard to keep his arm upright and that he had no control at all over his bodys' reaction to a stressful thought. Both parents were quite visibly surprised at the outcome.
Kinesiology is an excellent modality to utilize when dealing with the brains ability to integrate both left and right side together. This means able to see the big picture whilst taking into account the fine details. Often with a percieved learning difficulty this integration doesn't go smoothly.
We had several sessions over several weeks and the change has been very noticable to the family, the school and most importantly of all to the young boy.
He has realised that he can learn, his co ordination has improved and he is feeling great and confident. At his last visit he gave me the most wonderful testimonial, a home made, personally written card complete with lovely drawings of myself and of him on the massage table and saying "Thank you for making me focus".
From the mouth of babes, they do notice and understand that they feel better and acknowledge openly that Kinesiology helps them. They are not so caught up in trying to prove that it doesn't they accept that it does.
