Review
"Applied Kinesiology is something that can be performed with knowledge, with physiological facts, and with predictable certainty. It should be done, it can be done, and this book offers a means and a measure of how it’s done."
—George J. Goodheart, DC, Founder of Applied Kinesiology

"Robert Frost accurately describes AK the way medical doctors and chiropractors perform it. This is the best introduction to Applied Kinesiology I’ve ever seen!"
—Dr. Rudolf Meierhofer, International Medical Society for Applied Kinesiology

"This book presents the basic techniques of AK in a manner simple enough for the lay person to understand, and clearly enough to be used as a reference for the AK practitioner. It provides a good bridge for many kinesiologists to learn about classical AK."
—Wolfgang Gerz, MD, Past President of ICAK-D, International College of Applied Kinesiology, Germany

Customer Reviews

Great introduction to Applied Kinesiology
Robert Frost's AK manual is lean and to the point. It gives the history of AK, how AK is used in Europe and the USA, theory into the mechanisms of the reflexes used in AK, basic therapeutic procedures with explainations, and clear diagrams of the basic muscle tests and the appropriate reflexes. A perfect complement to the 100 hour course. I recommend this book to any student or practioner in health care who is looking to expand their skill set.

Amazing Book, even the introduction is worth the cover price
Not being a practitioner of Applied Kinesiology, I read this book as a way to grasp the fundamental concepts of movement to integrate into the way I teach yoga and view psychology through the lens of the body.

What I got from this book mostly was a very Yoga-like understanding of biological medicine's scope. That one paragraph is worth the cover price of the book for me. I hope to explore it more in depth and specificity with time.
