Advanced Applied Kinesiology (AAK) is a technique in alternative medicine. It is the study of the function of the human body that assesses movement and structure including ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones and offers treatment to the root cause of a given issue within the body. Treatments also include instructions of proper aftercare to help clients achieve optimum results. AAK seeks to identify and treat the root cause of symptoms/discomfort with the goal of achieving homeostasis in the body.
Swedish Massage Therapy
Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
Light Therapy
Many health-care professionals are investigating the use of laser therapy on their patients, as they recognize its untapped potential in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. It has been more than 30 years since the initial reports on this form of therapy appeared, and, over time, studies have suggested its biological effects on injured tissue. With increasing research, as well as clinical utilization of laser therapy, chiropractors and students alike are curious about the efficacy of this treatment modality.
