In 1985, Dr. Scott Walker was a chiropractor who utilized applied kinesiology as a diagnostic procedure and acupuncture, nutrition and homeopathy as therapeutic tools.
Applied Kinesiology utilizes muscle testing to evaluate organ and acupuncture meridian imbalances or dysfunction. The clinician challenges the strength of a muscle by asking the patient to lock their muscle while the clinician applies a pressure to it to see if it will hold. Typically, the patient will hold their arm straight out in front of them, lock their elbow, and resist while the clinician pushes down on the arm just above the wrist. A strong muscle remains locked in place, while a weak muscle gives way.
If you test a muscle's strength, and then re-test while touching another part of the patient's body, there will be a change in strength if the area touched has some dysfunction. This is called "therapy localization."
If a strong muscle becomes weak when an acupuncture point is contacted, then a therapy that helps the dysfunctional organ/meridian associated with that acupuncture point will abolish the weakness (strengthen the muscle). Dr. Walker found that emotional trauma, even from the distant past, could be the source of the muscle weakness.
