Unlocking the Secrets of Muscle Strength: A Peek into Kinesiology and Chiropractic Care at Alternative Health Clinic PC in Boulder CO

Kinesiology is all about understanding how our bodies move and work. Kinesiologists test your muscles, they're checking out how strong, flexible, and well-functioning they are. It's like giving your muscles a little checkup. It is actually testing nerve flow.
When asking Dr. Hart to describe how she practices, she explains that when testing the 10-15 various muscles and locating the weak muscles, this indicates what specific nerve groups that are no longer firing to the muscles. When retesting these same muscles, after the chiropractic treatment, the muscles will retest as strong and functioning normally. Afterwards, specific exercises and ergonomics for the weak muscles groups will be discussed. This is important to help maintain normal muscle function and nerve function.

Kinesiologists look at the major muscle groups, like the ones in your arms, legs, and core. Up top, that means your shoulders, chest, and arm muscles. Down below, it's all about your thighs, calves, and the muscles around your hips. Even your tummy and lower back muscles get in on the action.

Testing might involve simple exercises, like checking how strong your leg muscles are or how flexible your hamstrings are. Think of it as a personalized workout plan that helps them figure out what your body needs to move and feel its best. It's like tuning up your car but for your muscles and nervous system!

Dr. Hart shared how she does her job. She checks around 10-15 different muscles in your body. If she finds weak muscles, it tells her which nerve and muscles aren't working right. After getting chiropractic treatment, when she tests those muscles again, they show up as strong and working well. She then talks about exercises and ways to sit or move (ergonomics) that can help those weak muscles get stronger and work better. It's like figuring out which muscles need a little extra help, giving them a boost, and then
sharing tips to keep them in good shape!
