Abandon conflicting behaviours inherited from your genealogy. Attract people or situations that lead you to disappointment, to failure Induce reactions of anger, rejection, abandonment by others, and then feel hurt, depressed or humiliated Fail in accomplishing tasks that are crucial to your personal goals despite having a very good ability to accomplish these tasks Sacrifice yourself in an excessive way, whereas those for whom this sacrifice is intended do not ask for it or even discourage this way of doing things Respond to positive personal events (e.g. a new achievement, a new job) with anxiety, guilt or behavior that brings suffering Refuse opportunities to have fun while you have the opportunity and ability What is specialized kinesiology?The precision muscle test considers the body as an instrument able to show its own deficiencies and at the same time able to indicate how to correct them. In specialized kinesiology, we consider the body as a whole. The body is the best information source about what is good or disturbing. When stress disrupts health, the subconscious mind knows what happened and how. It also knows what needs to be done to rebalance. Everything that we have heard, felt, touched and tasted since our conception, as well as all our resulting thoughts and emotions are continuously printed, second after second in our subconscious mind. A specialized kinesiology session typically takes place as follows: I listen to what you have to tell me and why you come to see me. I access the subconscious mind through precision muscle testing. I question the body to find out what happened, when, and how. I ask what procedure to use to rebalance. I act to reactivate energy flow of with numerous proven techniques while explaining the symbolism of each procedure (Touch for Health, Brain Gym, Wellness Kinesiology, One Brain - Three in One Concepts, Energy Dams). I check through precision muscle testing that everything is now properly working, to anchor your new choices and new positive behaviours. What is precision muscle testing ? I apply gentle pressure onto your arms. If the arms hold according to the questioning or protocols, the body indicates in this way that the tested subjects are not concerned and therefore do not stress. If the arms let go, the body indicates that these subjects stress the body and that I must seek the corrections to practice, in order to restore and mobilize your energy, for you to achieve your goal with ease, by releasing stress. Touch for Health Touch for Health highlights body blockages through simple muscle testing. This technique identifies and then balances these areas using acupressure, Chinese energy theory and massage of specific body points. Touch for Health has been very effective for over 30 years worldwide. This natural healing method is the root to the various methods of specialized kinesiology. More information on Touch for Health is available on the International Kinesiology College website. Brain Gym "Movement is the gateway to learning"Paul E. Dennison This approach to kinesiology can be useful to many people to improve learning, of course at school, but also in the office, at home and in all the tasks of daily life: reading, writing, maths, passing exams, creativity, organization, adaptation, concentration, memory, accounting, foreign languages, music, dance, driving a vehicle, ... The term Brain Gym® refers to a set of 26 core Educational Kinesiology® activities, originally designed to improve responses to learning difficulties. Educational Kinesiology® uses movement, and motor and artistic activities to develop our potential. More information is available on the Brain Gym International website. Wellness Kinesiology Wellness Kinesiology helps you achieve success and tackles issues such as stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, changes in habits, or limiting beliefs. Wellness Kinesiology rebalances the body's responses to all aspects of stress by synthesizing Touch for Health techniques, Emotional Release Technique (EFT), other kinesiology techniques and stress management modalities. More information is available on the Wellness Kinesiology website. One Brain – Three in One Concepts One Brain - Three in One Concepts is more psychological in its approach than other specialized kinesiology methods. It identifies at a conscious, subconscious and body levels, the beliefs that merged to produce failure schemes. One Brain facilitates a change in perception of the relationship between ourselves and the outside world by consciously identifying and then defusing these blockages. It also allows you to make clear and creative choices for yourself. Read more information on the Three-In-One Concepts website. Energy Dams Energy Dams are barriers, obstacles, impediments, prohibitions of all kinds (conscious or unconscious) to avoid being, doing, realizing, achieving ... in our life in general, or even on a problem or special purpose. I remove energy dams on the 7 main chakras. I use the voice to create a vibration, which then removes the dam and allows the energy flow to resume. French specialized kinesiologist Michel Martinat instructed me with this method which he synthesized from Canadian, Belgian and French researches.

I have severe back problems and have been doing individual Physiotherapy as well as group Physiotherapy (which is like Pilates) for several years in PhysioCare Nyon. I am very pleased with the professional treatment and very useful exercises I do there. All the physiotherapists that took care of me to this day are very devoted, kind, always listening to what I have to say regarding to how I feel, very attentive, very professional, tailor the exercises to my needs, really nice people and very helpful. The director of the clinique Maria is an excellent physiotherapist who guides her staff carefully. Until now, I managed to postpone having a back operating which is very important for me. The secretary is also such a nice person and so helpful and this makes the ambiance very pleasant and welcoming. I always recommend this place to everyone in need.
