Explain Permissions

Definition

- "I will be using your muscle strength as a guide to get feedback about your body"

- ASK about injuries to shoulder or arm

- Try both arms, but look to dominant arm first

- Remind them it's not a competition and they should use the same smooth force and pressure against you as you are using on them

 

Term

 

 

Explain Positions

Definition

- Isolate a muscle

- Practitioner stands slightly above the client, ask them to sit if needed

- Avoid eye contact

- Remove electronics from client and practitioner, but things that are worn daily become part of your energy and do not need to be removed

 

Term

 

 

Explain Polarity   

Definition

- Check polarity at chest or head

. palm to chest and palm to crown should result in a strong response

- Correct if switched

. rub kidney 22/thymus

. cross crawl                    

. switch arms and rub inner part of eyebrows

. make sure tongue is not on the roof of the mouth

- Practitioner check polarity with tip testing

 

Term

 

 

Explain Procedure

Definition

- Touch the point to be tested with one hand and apply downward pressure

- A "weak" response indicates an active point

- Do not "diagnose" an active point

- If you have an active point, you can check to see what brings the body back into balance

- Check how much of a supplement it takes to correct an imbalance but remember you can not legally 'dose' or override the label on the bottle

 

Term

 

 

Surrogate Testing 

Definition

- Should be used for MRT if the client is young, weak, or unable to participate

- Client and surrogate should maintain contact

- Test should be explained to both parties

- Surrogate should be questioned for injuries to their arm or shoulder

- Surrogate should maintain direct contact with client if possible

- Check CLIENT'S points/ Check SURROGATE'S polarity

- Have remote clients do tip test to determine client polarity

 

Term

 

 

O-Ring Testing

Definition

- Discreet method of self-testing                                     

- Make a circle with the thumb and finger of one hand

- Try to break the circle with the thumb or finger of other hand

- Strong reaction is "true" or "yes" response                

- Don't use for 'predicting the future'                             

- Statements should be made instead of asking questions

"This is good for my body" vs "Is this good for my body?"

 

Term

 

 

Explain Tip Testing   

Definition

- Good for skeptics

- Least subjective test

- Stand and hold the item to be tested

- Make the statement: "This is good for my body"

. you will tip forward if the item is beneficial

. you will tip backward if the item is not        

. if pelvis is blocked they might not be able to tip back and forth so check with name to see which way is 'true' or 'yes' and go with that
