Kinesiology Foundation
About me
A Brief History of Kinesiology
The roots of modern kinesiology go back to the 1920s, when orthopaedic surgeon R.W. Lovett developed a system to test and grade muscle strength. This work was refined further in 1949 by Henry and Florence Kendall, whose book “Muscle Testing and Function” became a foundational text in the field.
Kinesiology as we know it today began in 1964, when Dr. George Goodheart, a pioneering American chiropractor, developed Applied Kinesiology. By observing muscle response—kinesiology literally means "the study of movement"—he discovered ways to identify imbalances in the body that other modalities often missed. His revolutionary work integrated concepts from chiropractic, nutrition, acupuncture, and emotional health.
Goodheart went on to teach these techniques to chiropractors, osteopaths, medical doctors, and dentists, and founded the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).
As the field evolved, researchers began linking muscle testing to Chapman’s neurolymphatic reflexes, Bennett’s neurovascular points, and the acupuncture meridian system, integrating physical, nutritional, emotional, energetic, and electrical components to support holistic health.
In 1988, Brian Butler brought the modality to the UK after training in Touch for Health, a US-based kinesiology system. He went on to establish the Association of Systematic Kinesiology (ASK)—now known as the AK Kinesiology Association—which continues to uphold high standards in training and research.
Today, kinesiology blends time-tested wisdom with modern science, making it one of the most comprehensive and versatile healing modalities available.
