How long does a kinesiology session last?
A session lasts approximately 1 hour for children and between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes for adults.
When should you see a kinesiologist?
You should consult a kinesiologist whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed by emotions or fatigue, stuck in a situation, or with persistent pain.
What to wear for a kinesiology session?
During a kinesiology session, you may be asked to test different muscles and perform body movements to release tension. You will remain fully clothed throughout the session; only your shoes and jewelry will need to be removed. It is therefore recommended that you wear clothing you are comfortable in, such as leggings or jogging pants, a t-shirt, or a loose-fitting top.
Is kinesiology reimbursed?
Kinesiology sessions are not reimbursed by Social Security in France. However, more and more insurance companies are providing coverage, depending on the cost of the session or the number of sessions per year. An invoice can be provided upon request, to be sent to your insurance company.

How to choose the right kinesiologist?
Choose a certified kinesiologist, not a kinesiology practitioner. The difference is that the title of kinesiologist is protected and guaranteed by a certification. A kinesiologist has received a diploma following 600 hours of extensive training, validated by a theoretical and practical exam.
When choosing a kinesiologist, it's also helpful to consult reviews from clients who have already consulted this practitioner. Sometimes, you have to try several kinesiologists before finding the one that best suits your needs. Check my reviews here: https://g.co/kgs/8mFHBS8
While techniques may vary from one kinesiologist to another, a good practitioner will always be kind and non-judgmental. It's essential that you feel comfortable with the practioner!
Finally, remember that a kinesiology session cannot be done remotely, because the technique necessarily requires going through muscle testing. Only muscle testing allows the kinesiologist to communicate with your body.
How does muscle testing work?
Muscle testing is the kinesiologist's basic tool because it allows for a direct dialogue with the body and the unconscious level of the person.
In stressful situations, muscles lose their tone and "drop". In normal times, or when there is a positive emotion, the muscles "hold on" and do not move. The test allows you to bypass mental control and achieve accurate and intuitive responses.
Typically, an arm's muscle is used for comfort, but other muscles can be used as needed.
Through muscle testing, the practitioner can:
- Identify tensions and stress linked to the issue of the session
- Find the most appropriate corrections to release these tensions and stress
- Check that each correction has been properly integrated by the body
Is kinesiology effective?
To answer the question of the effectiveness of this method, the best way is to form your own opinion by testing it yourself with a kinesiologist. Read here the opinion of the Ekivie kinesiology school, a member of the European Federation of Schools (FEDE) and with participatory status at the Council of Europe.
How many kinesiology sessions are needed to see results?
The number of sessions varies depending on each person, on the problem addressed and on the person's expectations.
For a recent issue, such as exam stress or shifting, a single session may be enough to restore mental and emotional calmness.
For a more long-standing issue that has had multiple origins and consequences over the course of your life, such as a phobia or a long-standing relationship conflict, several sessions will be necessary.
The best person to judge how many sessions is needed is you! By booking an appointment with a kinesiologist, you become an active participant in your own well-being. You are the most qualified person to know what you need.
What should I prepare before a kinesiology session?
Before coming to your kinesiology session, it is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and stay well hydrated. That's it, nothing more is needed!
It's common to come to a session with a specific topic to work on, but it's also possible to come without a specific issue. The kinesiologist will then be able to examine your body to identify the priority problematic to work on.
Are there any contraindications to go for a kinesiology consultation?
It is best not to come for a kinesiology session but to consult a general practitioner in the following cases:
Acute pain
Infection or contagious disease
Fever
Inflammation
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
Recent bleeding
A kinesiologist is not a doctor. Therefore, they do not provide diagnoses, treatments, prognoses, or diets, do not prescribe any medical treatments, and never request a medical treatment to be discontinued.
What are the health benefits of kinesiology?
The benefits of kinesiology are numerous. This technique allow the person to reduce stress, relieve physical pain, accept and balance emotions, calm the mind, improve physical performance, improve concentration, memory, and organizational skills, regain autonomy and personal power, explore self-discovery, increase vital energy, and achieve overall well-being.
Can kinesiology be used in conjunction with other medical treatments?
Yes, it is possible to consult a kinesiologist in addition to medical treatments or other therapies. However, it is important to remember that a kinesiologist is not a doctor. Therefore, they do not establish diagnoses, treatments, prognoses, or diets, do not issue medical prescriptions, and never request a medical treatment to be discontinued.
If in doubt, please seek advice from your doctor before undertaking any therapy, including kinesiology.
Can I make an appointment for a loved one?
When a person takes an appointment with a kinesiologist, they regain control of their life and act actively for their own well-being. It is therefore important for this approach to be personal and be carried out by the person him/herself. The person who comes to the session must sincerely want to be here and do this self-development work. If the person comes to the session feeling "forced" or to please someone, there is a good chance that the session will be less beneficial.
It is therefore possible to recommend kinesiology to a loved one, but it is best to let the person book the appointment. Obviously, this does not apply to children and adolescents.
How long between each session?
After a kinesiology session, it is important to give the person and their body time to assimilate what was discussed during the session, to allow the corrections to take effect, and to anchor new patterns. It is recommended to wait at least 3 to 4 weeks between each session.
Can kinesiology help me manage stress daily?
The objective of kinesiology is precisely to help manage all kinds of stress, including the daily stress. This technique will get to the root of stress and all associated tensions, to permanently free the person from them. It will also give the person keys and tools to prevent relapses and manage their emotions without letting stress take hold.
Can kinesiology help improve physical and mental performance?
Yes, kinesiology can be a valuable aid in improving physical performance, for example, for an athlete who wants to optimize their athletic abilities and results. This technique is also useful for improving mental performance, for example, for someone who wants to achieve personal goals that require concentration and organization.
Through kinesiology, it is possible to correct muscle tensions and body-mind alignment, to allow the person to improve their coordination, reflexes and physical flexibility, to recover better after physical exertion, to increase their mental concentration, their sense of organization and their resilience in the face of stress.
What are the differences between kinesiology and other alternative medicines?
Hypnosis, sophrology, acupuncture, kinesiology… These techniques are also called “alternative medicines,” “natural medicines,” or “soft medicines.” The practices within the spectrum of alternative medicine are diverse and numerous, both in terms of the techniques they use and their theoretical foundations.
The common thread between kinesiology and many alternative medicine practices is the presence of energies circulating within the body. But what makes kinesiology unique compared to other practices is its muscle testing to detect and release imbalances.
What is the difference between a physiotherapist and a kinesiologist?
There are many differences between kinesiologists and physical therapists.
A physiotherapist, also known as a physical therapist, is responsible for the physical rehabilitation of a person following an accident or trauma. Their primary area of expertise includes bones, muscles, and joints. Physiotherapy is part of conventional medicine, and we then speak about"patients".
A kinesiologist is responsible for restoring a person's mental and emotional well-being through the body. The person's physical well-being is therefore taken into account, but a kinesiologist cannot intervene in physical rehabilitation.
Kinesiology is part of gentle or alternative medicine, and we then speak of “clients”.
Have you made an appointment and now have to cancel it?
If you have an issue that forces you to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please contact me at least 48 hours in advance. This will allow someone else to use that time slot. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your scheduled appointment, your session will be charged.
Thank you for your understanding!
