Pref ce

a
I first became interested in Applied Kinesiology while I was a student at Los
Angeles College of Chiropractic. As I became more involved with the treatment
of track and field injuries, I found that Dr. Goodheart’s contributions to the treatment of

­
musculoskeletal injuries were truly valuable. This gave me the impetus to become more
proficient in the basic Applied Kinesiology procedures. By the Summer of 1975 I was
qualified for diplomate status. Treatment successes (and in some instances, failures) using
Dr. Goodheart’s information on the original forty-five muscles placed an increasing demand
on me for information on muscle groups beyond that already available. By 1975 it was
apparent that Dr. Goodheart was involved in many other research projects, and if further
information on muscle therapeutics was to be forthcoming, it would be through personal
research efforts. With these considerations in mind I undertook the task of researching
and presenting this information for the other members of the profession. The process was
slow and difficult at first, but by following some of the concepts Dr. Goodheart originally
presented and by constantly testing and monitoring results, a measure of understanding was
achieved.

The information that follows represents four years of clinical research into muscle testing
and treatment using Applied Kinesiology procedures. It is provided to supplement existing
­
information regarding diagnosis and treatment of muscular hypokinesia using Applied
Kinesiology. Further information about Applied Kinesiology can be obtained from the
International College of Applied Kinesiology, 542 Michigan Building, Detroit, Michigan
48226 .

Introduct on

i
In order to preserve the trademark and originality of Dr. George Goodheart’s work in
Applied Kinesiology, this series is titled Clinical Kinesiology. Clinical Kinesiology refers to
observations and findings which have proven to be consistent and practical over a period of
time within an Applied Kinesiological clinical practice.

The work that follows is an outgrowth of such research by Alan G. Beardall, D.C , in
his personal practice at Lake Oswego, Oregon, and is not intended to reflect a consensus
of information or opinion in the field of Applied Kinesiology. It is hoped that sharing this
information will help improve musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment and will give us a
better understanding of the complexity of this marvelous vehicle we call the body.

This book is first in a series of workbooks titled Clinical Kinesiology. Each workbook will
contain information about muscles pertaining to a given region of the body. Thus, Muscles
of the Low Back and Abdomen concerns those muscles linking the ribcage and pelvis as a
functional unit. Other workbooks will be presented in the following order:

II. Muscles of the Pelvis and Thigh



III. Muscles of the TMJ, Hyoid and Other Cervical Muscles


Including Cranial Manipulation

IV Muscles of the Upper Extremities and Shoulder

V. Muscles of the Lower Extremities, Calf and Foot

VI. Muscles of the Thorax and Neck

Each workbook will contain muscle worksheets which identify factors contributing to
muscular hypokinesia. The worksheets are very similar to those used in our office and provide
what we feel is the basic information necessary to diagnose and effectively treat a local muscle
aberration. The information is laid out so that items in regular print are most pertinent to
the anterior surface of the body (while patient is supine) and items in italics pertain to the
posterior surface of the body (while patient is prone). It is stressed that this is a workbook
only and is designed for clinical application. A further explanation of its contents and of the
procedures for evaluation and treatment of muscle and cranial dysfunction, visceral organ
reflexes, lymphatics, gait and cloacal imbalances, etc. is available in the Clinical Kinesiology
Instruction Manual. Further information about Applied Kinesiological procedures may be
obtained in the works of Goodheart,2 Walther 3 and 4Stoner
