- Why Study Kinesiology -
Kinesiology, a career for life.
Kinesiology is one of the most holistic modalities in natural therapies, and a career in Kinesiology is inspiring, fulfilling, and rewarding. As a modality, it can be applied to several different medical, allied and complementary sectors, as Kinesiology is the study of what it is to be human.
Physical, structural, mental, emotional, bio-chemical and spiritual - known in our world as the ‘Triangle Of Health’. A merger between Western anatomy and physiology and Eastern medicine focuses on mind-body, performance and function by applying multiple modalities and sciences through a holistic approach.
As a Kinesiologist, you will work with clients across all aspects of their lives and genuinely impact and facilitate positive change.

FAQs
What is Kinesiology?
It is one of, if not the most holistic modality available in complementary medicine. Kinesiology was developed by a Dr of chiropractic in the 1960s and merges western anatomy and physiology with traditional Chinese medicine. Each person is approached through the lens of bio-individuality, and kinesiology works with this uniqueness, ‘balancing’ the whole being back to a state of homeostasis. A foundational concept of kinesiology is the Triangle of Health, with the three sides representing the key aspects of our being: Physical/Structural; Mental/Emotional; Bio-Chemical; Kinesiology uses ‘muscle testing’ to access understanding and incongruences across all aspects of health and facilitates the process of ‘balancing’ the individual’s requirements to achieve outcomes.
What will I learn studying Kinesiology?
