Muscle Testing
Muscle testing involves finding a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempting to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupressure skills, evaluating environmental irritants, and various reflex procedures. The object is to test the function of a single muscle in the best possible manner.
