Discovery Course

About the Course

​

Across four practical sessions, you'll learn the fundamentals of manual muscle testing and have plenty of time to practise. We'll work through the important elements that make muscle testing clear and consistent, including positioning, pressure, communication and technique. You'll be shown how to test, you'll practise it yourself, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback as you learn. By the end of the course, you'll have a much better understanding of how muscle testing works and how to do it for yourself.

​

What you'll learn

​

Manual muscle testing.

Learn the principles behind muscle testing and how to perform it correctly, including positioning, pressure and technique.

​

Practical hands-on skills

Spend plenty of time actually testing and being tested, so you can develop confidence through practice.

​

Working with muscles

Learn a useful selection of muscle tests in more detail and understand what you're looking for when you test.

​

Putting it into practice

Learn how to use the techniques you've been taught in a simple, practical way with family and friends.

​

Building your confidence

Understand how to get a clear, consistent muscle test and recognise when you need to adjust your technique.

​

Take the skill home with you

This course is designed so that what you learn doesn't stay in the classroom. You'll have the opportunity to practise your muscle testing skills with family and friends in a personal setting, and continue developing your technique after the course has finished. You'll receive all the course materials you need, so you have something to refer back to as you continue practicing.

​

Where could it lead?

​

You may discover that the Discovery Course gives you exactly what you were looking for — a solid introduction to muscle testing and some practical skills you can continue to use and practice.

Or you may find yourself wanting to learn much more. The Discovery Course can be the starting point for the Well Balanced You learning pathway, leading on to Foundation and, for those who want to take kinesiology further, and move onto foundation or even Professional Diploma training.

Discovery → Foundation → Professional Diploma

The Discovery Course is not a prerequisite for Foundation training. You can join Foundation directly if that is the route you would like to take.

If you decide within 12 months that you'd like to continue to Foundation, you will receive a £200 discount on the foundation course fee

 

Kinesiology is so much fun to learn and understand. So come along, have a go, learn some useful skills and discover what you can do with kinesiology for yourself.
