More quackery,
By Masked Marvel "Masked Marvel" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Kinesiology: A Training Manual and Reference Book of Basic Principles (Paperback)
Sorry, but this yet another book that attempts to suggest that apllied kinesiology is of proven value.
It isn't; the 'reactions' that people experience are caused by ideomotor activity. No double-blind test has shown results for this 'therapy' better than chance or placebo. Save your money, and don't encourage quacks.

Great introduction to Applied Kinesiology,
By Matt Gretencord, DC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Applied Kinesiology: A Training Manual and Reference Book of Basic Principles (Paperback)
Robert Frost's AK manual is lean and to the point. It gives the history of AK, how AK is used in Europe and the USA, theory into the mechanisms of the reflexes used in AK, basic therapeutic procedures with explainations, and clear diagrams of the basic muscle tests and the appropriate reflexes. A perfect complement to the 100 hour course. I recommend this book to any student or practioner in health care who is looking to expand their skill set.

Amazing Book, even the introduction is worth the cover price,
By DurgaDas "Yogi for Peace" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Applied Kinesiology: A Training Manual and Reference Book of Basic Principles (Paperback)
Not being a practitioner of Applied Kinesiology, I read this book as a way to grasp the fundamental concepts of movement to integrate into the way I teach yoga and view psychology through the lens of the body.
What I got from this book mostly was a very Yoga-like understanding of biological medicine's scope. That one paragraph is worth the cover price of the book for me. I hope to explore it more in depth and specificity with time. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Very good for the AK neophyte,
By cesar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Applied Kinesiology: A Training Manual and Reference Book of Basic Principles (Paperback)
If you are not familiar with AK and have some anatomy and physiology knowledge, this book will do. It has everything you need to know with a good section on muscle testing.
