In kinesiology, gentle pressure is applied to a muscle and the response of the muscle is monitored. The normal muscle response would be to lock, but if the muscle gives way or weakens it indicates an energy disturbance in the meridian system (energy pathways throughout the body). For example, if someone wanted to know if they had an allergy to a specific food, the muscle could be tested in the presence of that food to check for sensitivity. The body constantly has to monitor it's own state through homeostatic mechanisms, continually balancing and rebalancing the physical functions in order to maintain blood pressure, body temperature, acid levels in the digestive system, and many others. All of that has to be within acceptable levels, so part of what is happening with muscle testing is this homeostatic knowledge being accessed. 

There are various branches of kinesiology, all of which use the basic muscle testing principle and a model based on traditional acupuncture theory. In Health Kinesiology, the meridian energy system is brought into a state of temporary balance before any other work begins. We have found that when the system is correctly balanced muscle testing produces reliable and consistent results.
