I encourage you to watch the video to see a glimpse of how muscle testing.
Confirming muscle testing—or combining it with traditional lab work use both Eastern and Western methods—to dive for a deeper understanding of how the body functions. Traditional diagnostic testing is valuable but limited; it doesn’t reveal everything. That’s why I value muscle testing, when done correctly, as a way to assess imbalances that standard lab work could never detect.
One thing often overlooked in health assessments is the emotional or spiritual impact on the body. I once muscle-tested a woman, and the test indicated an emotional trauma from age 15. When I asked what happened at that age, her eyes widened and she said, ‘I had an abortion.’ She was shocked because she had never told anyone before. The body remembers what the mind tries to forget. When there’s an emotional wound, the nervous system records it, and muscle testing can reveal it. Once it’s brought to light, true healing can begin—the way God intended. If old traumas remain buried, they’re like open wounds that eventually infect the whole system and cause deeper dysfunction.”
🕰️ 1. How Muscle Testing Began
About a century ago, doctors working with polio patients discovered that testing the strength of a muscle could tell them how well the nerves were working.
This became known as manual muscle testing — and it’s still used today in physical therapy and chiropractic.
In the 1960s, Dr. George Goodheart, a Detroit chiropractor, made an unexpected discovery:
A weak muscle could instantly regain strength when he treated the right reflex point or gave the right nutrient.
He called this approach Applied Kinesiology, meaning “the study of movement.”
Goodheart noticed patterns — certain muscles seemed connected not just to joints, but also to organs and energy pathways called meridians from Chinese medicine. This opened a whole new way to look at the body — as an interactive communication system.
🌿 2. Touch for Health – Bringing Healing Home
One valuable technique I have implemented is from one of Goodheart’s students, Dr. John Thie, simplified these ideas in a 1973 book called Touch for Health. I also was trained with Acupressure Stress Release Technique
He taught families how to test muscles gently, locate blocked meridians, and restore balance using:
light acupressure,
breathing, colors, or affirmations,
and even nutrition.
Touch for Health connected 14 major meridians to specific muscles — for example, the psoas to the kidney meridian and the pectoralis to the liver meridian.
It turned professional techniques into self-care, helping people listen to what their bodies were saying.
so it'll be 4 of the fobrist's day for the cricket yes for everything correct yes correct
✝️ 3. The Christian Perspective
I practice chiropractic and a form of Applied Kinesiology, but through a biblical lens.
I view health as a three-part unity — body, mind, and spirit — reflecting how we were created in God’s image.
When a muscle tests weak, I don’t just look at structure or chemistry.
I ask deeper questions:
Is there stress or emotion attached to this area?
Could there be a spiritual burden — fear, shame, or unforgiveness — tightening the body’s fascia and blocking flow?
Using prayer, gentle correction, and sometimes muscle testing as feedback, he helps patients release both physical and spiritual tension.
🕊️ Closing Thought
“Healing happens when every interference — structural, emotional, or spiritual — is removed so that God’s design can function freely.”
“You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14
Fascia, meridians, and muscle testing aren’t mysterious — they’re reflections of God’s incredible engineering.
And when we learn to listen to the body He designed, healing becomes a conversation between science and Spirit.
