Healing Within Therapist - Louise Snyder : Intro to Muscle Testing

What is Energetic Muscle Testing?

Energetic muscle testing is a variation of muscle testing that is often used in alternative and complementary medicine practices to evaluate the body's energy and determine imbalances or areas of weakness. It involves testing the body's response to various substances or stimuli, such as foods, supplements, or emotions, to determine whether they are beneficial or harmful.

During energetic muscle testing, a practitioner will typically have the person being tested hold out an arm or leg while the practitioner applies pressure and asks questions or makes statements related to the substance or stimulus being tested. If the body responds positively to the substance or stimulus, the muscle should be able to resist the pressure and maintain its position. However, if the body responds negatively, the muscle may give way under the pressure and the limb may move.
