PRACTITIONER VOICE
A series of three kinesiology sessions were conducted , focusing on muscle testing to identify and address underlying emotional correlations and physical imbalances . The First Stage of Defence Protocol derived from the Functional Neuro Training Manual by Andrew Verity ( 13 ) was used in each session . Neuro Training , an advanced evolution of kinesiology , emphasises the principles of genetic protocols in neuro training , aiming to restore balance and improve overall well-being . The sessions included the following steps :
1 . Initial Assessment : Comprehensive assessment of the client ' s physical condition , emotional state , and history of trauma or significant life events .
2 . Muscle Testing : Identifying muscle response and areas of imbalance using kinesiology techniques .
3 . Emotional Release : Addressing identified trapped emotions , experiences , patterns , beliefs , and traumas through techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT ) and Neuro-Emotional Technique ( NET ).
4 . Physical Realignment : Applying corrective measures to improve physical alignment and relieve muscle tension .
5 . Follow-Up Assessments : Regular follow-up assessments to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan .
Physical Improvements
Session 1 : Initial assessment revealed significant imbalances with noticeable misalignment in the scapulae and rib cage . Muscle testing identified associated emotional traumas that occurred pre-puberty relating to the core issue of " I must look away from anything inappropriate or intimate in nature ." The client ' s parent physically turned their head when such content was apparent .
Session 2 : After addressing some of the emotional traumas and applying corrective measures , a slight improvement in physical alignment was observed with reduced tension in

the muscles around the scapulae . The core emotion dealt with in this session focused on the client ' s inability to accept or like her appearance , stemming from early-life experiences of being humiliated or made fun of by others because of a particular physical trait .
Session 3 : Continued progress was noted with further improvements in muscle strength and alignment of the body . The protruding rib cage appeared less pronounced on forward bending . There was marked improvement in physical alignment , with the scapulae appearing more level and the rib cage more balanced . The client ' s posture improved significantly , and the spinal curvature was less noticeable . The core trauma dealt with in this session focused on lifelong issues of " not good enough " and beliefs such as " I am only significant if I am attractive " and " I am not attractive so I will never be significant ." Appearance and her perception of it showed as a core issue , also linking to the high value she placed on achieving as a compensation for the fact that she believed herself to be " unattractive ." Other beliefs that tied into this included : " Only attractive people get what they want . I ' ll never be attractive , so therefore I have to be inspiring to attract someone ." Ultimately , " I am disgusting and will never be enough ."
Emotional Improvements
Session 1 : The client expressed significant emotional distress related to her scoliosis , including feelings of disgust and low self-esteem .
Session 2 : After initial emotional release techniques , the client reported feeling lighter and more positive .
Session 3 : Continued emotional work led to increased self-awareness and a
