Muscle testing and weakness caused by improper posture

Yes, I googled again and what I found put me back 20 years. In my Touch for Health class there was this teaching about posture and correcting muscles. I never could place this lecture. But when I Google I think I now can understand why.
 
Touch for Health is said to be a offspring of Applied Kinesiology (AK). And AK holds on to the research of Kendall and Kendall [2]. They do test muscle functions and that is their jobdescription. In fact we learn Muscle test positions like a real AK practitioner.
 
Somewhere along the road "heavy" muscle testing [AK] became "light"muscle testing. This is the trademark of Specialized Kinesiology (SK). We test differently, we measure differently. Returning back to the introduction lessons of  TfH and imposing this lecture on what I now know from Manual Muscle Testing (SK MMT), I can see there was - in a way - a comparing Apples with Oranges.
 
Yes ... manual muscle testing we get information. This information of "Weak", "Strong", "Blocked" is only sometimes an indication for bad functioning muscles and most of the time a change in signals through the nervous system [in my experience]. You see the phrase "weaknesses that can be caused by improper posture" is not something we measure when using Specialized Kinesiology Manual Muscle Testing [short: SK MMT]. You can do this if you do functional muscle testing as is proposed with AK MMT or other physical test methods.
 
I have my doubts whether those who do AK MMT will not ever enter the world of SK MMT, where this superlight testing is preferred.

And when you ask me "what then do you 'measure' with SK MMT?". In the simplest way, I can answer you "the way the Body Mind Spirit Connection wants to communicate". As you can surely imagine this blog is too small for this to convey. I suggest you browse a little bit more on this website: hsalomons.com
 
P.S. You might also want to read this excellent >> EXPLANATION OF MANUAL MUSCLE TESTING . It words in a way what I advocate, but it is written by an AK-practitioner - of whom I think - dwells towards the SK MMT technique. Nothing wrong about that, but to all "let us not want  to be more Catholic than the Pope". Do the job and have success with and for your clients. That is what you are getting paid for, that is if you are having clients to take care of!
