Kinesiology is one of the fastest growing natural health sciences in the world today. Kinesiology for non professionals evolved from Applied Kinesiology and was introduced in the early 1970s as Touch for Health Kinesiology written by U.S. chiropractor John F. Thie D.C.  Many other kinesiologies have emanated from Touch for Health, and are presented as community programmes, or integrated into professional courses.

Kinesiology may be described as the art and science of muscle testing, and uses manual muscle monitoring to measure stress responses in the body and acupuncture meridians.  It is easily learned and applied, and is used by doctors, dentists, chiropractors, nurses, physiotherapists, naturopaths, natural therapists, amongst others.  Millions of people in over 100 countries have experienced kinesiology.
