Muscle Testing Techniques and Applications

John McGuire introduces the course on structural kinesiology, focusing on brain activation techniques, the history and principles of applied kinesiology, and George Goodhart's discoveries. The video covers muscle testing techniques, the importance of neurolymphatic points, and the injury recall technique. Practical demonstrations are provided to illustrate these concepts.

What is one of the techniques mentioned to activate the brain before learning?

• Listening to music

• Touching the navel and rubbing kidney points

• Taking a short nap

• Eating a healthy snack

Who is credited with starting applied kinesiology?

• John McGuire

• Frank Chapman

• George Goodhart

• Sheldon Diehl

What is the primary purpose of muscle testing in kinesiology?

• To diagnose diseases

• To assess nervous system and energy flow

• To measure muscle size

• To improve muscle flexibility

Which muscle is associated with the central meridian?

• Supraspinatus

• Infraspinatus

• Subscapularis

• Teres Major

What is the governing meridian related to?

• The spine

• The heart

• The brain

• The liver

Why is it important to test muscles in a specific order during meridian balancing?

• To ensure all muscles are equally strong

• To facilitate effective balancing and energy flow

• To identify the weakest muscle first

• To make the process faster

What is the primary benefit of the injury recall technique?

• It improves mental clarity

• It erases the memory of past injuries

• It increases muscle mass

• It strengthens all muscles

Which of the following is NOT a common application of the injury recall technique?

• Improving eyesight

• Sprained ankles

• Tooth extractions

• Surgical incisions

What is the key to effectively applying the injury recall technique?

• Using maximum force

• Understanding muscle anatomy

• Ignoring the patient's feedback

• Applying it only once

How can one improve their understanding and application of muscle testing techniques?

• By memorizing all muscle names

• By practicing with a partner

• By reading anatomy books only

• By watching videos without practice
