Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology is a non-invasive system that evaluates structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health using muscle testing. Results of the muscle testing are confirmed with palpation, orthopedic examinations, and neurological evaluation. Goals set forth by the International College of Applied Kinesiology, are to provide a non-equipment-intensive assessment of the patient's functional health status.

  • Restore postural balance, correct impaired gait, improve range of motion.
  • Restore normal neuromuscular function.
  • Achieve balance of endocrine, immune, digestive, and other internal functions.
  • Permit early intervention in degenerative diseases.

Although weakness in a specific muscle is said to be a clue to possible problems in its associated organ or gland; practitioners do not claim that the results are diagnostically definitive. They say that improper performance in a manual muscle test may be due to nerve dysfunction, nutritional inadequacy, toxic chemicals, abnormal circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, tension in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, poor circulation of blood or lymph fluid, or "meridian system imbalance."

Testimonials

"After my brother had a total hip replacement and multiple seizures, other doctors wanted me to realistically accept his deteriorating interaction with his environment, because he was a 63-year-old with downs syndrome. After seeing Dr. Goltl, my brother is more animated and now cares about what is going on around him. He asked to go back to his old activities of horse back riding, bowling, and basketball. If you have been to other doctors without tangible improvements, or have yet to consult another doctor, see Dr. Goltl first."

"I had dealt with back pain from a car wreck for twenty years. I also had suffered from sixteen years of severe allergies with three sinus infections a year. I was miserable. It's been a year since I started treatment with Dr. Goltl and I no longer have constant back pain or sinus infections and I am off my allergy medication. It is great to be pain free and allergy free. I didn't even know it was possible!"

"Before I began seeing Dr. Goltl, my feet were sore all the time. Something as simple as shopping killed my feet. I felt like crying my feet hurt so badly. After receiving treatments from Dr. Goltl, I now feel excellent. I can be on my feet all day, and walk as much as I want. He also fixed a bad back, my colds, my husband's injured back and more. It seems he can help or fix anything. If you are considering seeing Dr. Goltl, Do it! You've only one body, one life... Have fun!"
