At Well Within we believe strongly in the importance of understanding the complete picture of what is going on with your health. While we use many forms of testing and clinical correlations, one of the important methods that we use to learn about your body is through Applied Kinesiology, also known as Muscle Response Testing, or simply Muscle Testing.

Muscle testing is a manual, non-invasive technique, used to retrieve information from the body. It is much like the typical reflex test of the knee wherein tapping on the tendon creates the unconscious knee-jerk response. Like any reflex, it is unrelated to muscle strength and works because of the body’s natural involuntary response to stimuli. Muscle testing was first discovered in the late ‘60’s by Doctor George Goodheart, and is used as a primary feedback mechanism, that potentially evaluates the structural, chemical, and emotional well-being of the patient.

We integrate this kind of assessment to support all of the work we do, from Quantum Neurology to the NeuroEmotional Technique. We feel that it provides a unique and holistic tool to assist in finding the underlying causes of our patient’s health concerns.

Your day to day stress - including money matters, relationships, work, and so on - may be involved in the health issues that you are experiencing. Traumas, unresolved emotions, and protective mechanisms can create what we call “emotional complexes.” Within the body’s physiology, these “complexes,” stored through the body’s use of neuropeptides, can result in any number of undesirable symptoms. Not only is this possible, but the effects on your health could be quite severe, and - if left unchecked - stress can cause significant long-term distress to your overall health.

While society tends to divide your emotional well-being from your physical health, we at Well Within are very conscious of the fact that you cannot separate the two. Your body functions biochemically and your emotional responses fall into this category because they are composed of neurochemicals. It is generally recognized that physical experiences and traumas can have significant emotional impacts on us. When you experience emotions there are physical repercussions as well.

With this knowledge, we have trained in the NeuroEmotional Technique (NET), developed by Dr. Scott Walker, to support the alleviation of the psychological and neurological impact that emotions and stresses have on your body. By using NET we can target underlying stressors and facilitate your body’s healing.

The nervous system is the master regulator and main communicator of the body. When there is a breakdown in this vital communication system you can have any number of symptoms including pain, weakness, tingling, loss of function, loss of motion, headaches, sensation changes, balance issues, memory deficits, aberrant emotions, digestive issues and more. Our bodies are remarkable and will adapt to the weaknesses that we all have on some level. We may not lose function, but the efficiency at which our bodies perform can be significantly diminished, requiring more of our vital energy to function and go about our day.

While great changes can be made through educated standard chiropractic adjustments, we have come to understand that sometimes the nerves need to receive further support. For this reason we have trained in the techniques taught by Quantum Neurology.

Quantum Neurology utilizes the power of a low-level red light that oscillates at a very specific frequency. Light therapy has been researched for decades and the development of this specific light and its frequency support the nervous system, promoting healing.

We consider Quantum Neurology an invaluable asset in helping us help you.
