Applied Kinesiology is performed by health care professionals. First, they have their basic education is what ever field they practice. For example, they might be a medical doctor, osteopath, chiropractor or a dentist. They then study Applied Kinesiology in a post graduate setting. 

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis.

The practitioner using AK finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly.  The practitioner works out the treatment that will best balance the patient's muscles.

Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counselling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.

AK uses the Triad of Health.  That is Chemical, Mental and Structural factors that balance the major health categories.

The Triad of Health is interactive and all sides must be evaluated for the underlying cause of a problem.  A health problem on one side of the triad can affect the other sides.  For example, a chemical imbalance can cause mental symptoms.  AK enables the doctor to evaluate the triad's balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides.

AK skills are developed and approved by the International College of Applied Kinesiology Board of Standards.  These skills are refined from many disciplines including Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Medicine, Dentistry, Acupuncture, Biochemistry, Psychology, Homeopathy, and Naturopathy etc.  Members of these professions share knowledge through the publications and conferences of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).

Three In One Concepts refers to the integration of body, mind and spirit, to emphasise the holistic nature of this kinesiology. 

More than 30 years after the creation of Three in One Concepts, it continues to be at the forefront of personal growth and the development of well-being, taking in such concepts as neuro-plasticity and changing your perception of the world.

'The Brain That Changes Itself' by Normn Doidge explores the science of neuroplasticity, the flexibility of the brain and its ability to change as thoughts and behaviours change. This matches the training given to Three in One practitioners.  Three in One Concepts sessions enable you to release patterns based on observation and experience that no longer serve you in present time.

The cover feature of the April 2008 issue of Psychology Today was an article entitled "Change Your Nature". Among the statements in the feature was, "Tweaking the way you interpret and react to the world can be a transformative experience, freeing you up to act in new ways.'  The 'emotional stress defusions' practised in Three in One balances do exactly that.   Three in One techniques enable you to release limiting thought patterns so you can more easily focus on creating what is in alignment for you.
