How Kinesiology Can Help You Better Deal with Anxiety and Stress

Kinesiology is a Holistic Health Discipline

This effective treatment method encompasses the study and practice of holistic health disciplines that help access a patient’s well-being information through muscle monitoring. Kinesiology is basically a combination of Western techniques and Eastern wisdom, tailored to promote overall health. Additionally, this treatment method identifies elements that are found in the body’s natural internal energy, drawing healing ability to deal with anxiety and stress.

The Stress and Wellbeing in Australia 2014 Survey found that stress and anxiety are quite common mental conditions faced by Australians, both young and old. As we know, stress can negatively impact the quality of life, especially if left untreated. A myriad of other serious illnesses can also sprout from ongoing stress and anxiety such as depression and various chronic immune-related diseases. Brisbane Livewell Clinic recommends Kinesiology to diminish the negative impact of anxiety and stress, helping patients deal in a better manner.

What is this treatment method, and how are anxiety and stress positively dealt with by Kinesiology?

How Can Stress and Anxiety Negatively Affect Your Life?

Stress and anxiety are considered the “lesser” mental conditions compared to OCD and others. That being said, the negative influence shouldn’t be disregarded. Today, stress affects almost everyone in Western society, regardless of their age or gender.

Working long and demanding hours at the office, coupled with hectic personal life can increase stress and anxiety. In other cases, anxiety and stress is part of their chemical makeup, i.e. hereditary. Achieving an optimal work/life balance seems to be the only solution. Yet, it isn’t easy to achieve in reality.

Ongoing stress and anxiety are enough to cause physical pain, emanating from muscles. As a result, stress and anxiety lead to sleep deprivation, immune disorders and other related conditions.

It is a Healing Modality That Takes Care of the “Body as a Whole”

Few healing modalities keep the whole body in view when tailoring a treatment method. Kinesiology takes into account:

Physical health
Emotional health
Mental health
Spiritual health

What Does Kinesiology Offer For Stress and Anxiety Management?

The treatment begins with gentle muscle monitoring conducted by an experienced kinesiologist. Nature of stresses and where they are affecting (in the body) are analysed. A healing plan is designed based on the received information. Brisbane Livewell Clinic treats the ailment after careful evaluation. Ideally, treatment plans are conducted over a 2–6-month period.

Alternative treatments can also be conducted to improve healing results such as practising yoga and incorporation of a well-balanced diet. Talk to an experienced kinesiologist regarding your individual case today.

Reviews From Our Clients

Esther S

Simply put - the best place for overall health! I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while now and finally after having a recent bulging disc flare up I can honestly say Jules (massage therapist) & Kylie (acupuncturist) are the A TEAM! They are both are so knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure I leave feeling better than when I arrived. I literally wasn’t able to walk properly when I arrived and within 2 days I had proper mobility in my hips and lower back. I can’t thank this team enough! You can’t put a price on health but every cent spent here is worth it.

Kate M.

I visited a few weeks ago to have a lymphatic drainage massage. I am pregnant and was very well looked after and cared for by Jules. It was a really good experience with good communication and Jules took the time to help me and ensure I left feeling much better than I entered. Will book again soon.

Caitlin

I saw Craig a few years ago now during one of the hardest times of my life. All the medical professionals couldn’t find anything wrong with me but I knew that I wasn’t well. I was suffering from post viral fatigue and Craig was the only one who helped me. He really cared about my health and helped me to recover. I’m much better today and want to thank Craig for the support he gave me when no one else could help me.

Kelly was so amazing with my pregnancy massage. She listened to me beforehand and was super friendly. She asked the right questions and her techniques were amazing.

If you are looking for a holistic approach to your health, look no further! I visited Sheridan today and I was so relieved to finally have found someone who genuinely cares about your health, and who is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the effect it has on not only your physical health, but your mental health as well! Sheridan is so caring, compassionate, and understanding, and always has her clients best interests at heart. I am looking forward to working with Sheridan and Brisbane Livewell Clinic long term to ensure that I am not only healthy, but happy too!!

This clinic has been fantastic. I have seen amazing benefits even after a couple of sessions. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Holly B.

I highly recommend this business. Sheridan is awesome and really knows her stuff and truly cares for her patients.

Robyn M.

I cannot reccommend Sean enough for Reiki. A truly gifted practitioner. My energy was really off and I could feel it. A truly beautiful and out of this world experience. I feel so much better. Total relaxation and peacefulness. Very insightful signs and messages delivered to me. Thanks Sean!

I have been to many massage therapists over the years as I suffer with MS and get lots of stiffness and nerve pain. Fiona is by far the best I’ve ever been to

Lizal T.

They really know what they are doing. Jasmine is just the best 🙂

Chris P.

After a few years struggling with thyroid disease I finally started to few better. Unfortunately the conventional medicine is very limited and don't see your body as a whole but in separate parts not connected. Craig has helped me to find what my body needed to optimize my health, something you won't find with your GP. It might sound costly but living a live of limitations can be way more costlier.

Have had several consultations with the wonderful naturopath Craig . He has helped me immensely with my mental health and hormonal issues as a middle aged male . Craig is easy to talk to and emits a very positive vibe that is refreshing .So glad I did a bit of research and reviews which located Brisbane Livewell clinic

Paul M.

Months after recovering from Glandular Fever, I still felt like I had no energy, was constantly tired, had stomach issues and continually struggled to get out of bed. Dr did not find anything in my blood work after many visits, but I knew I was not well. Eventually I tracked down this clinic and had consultations with Craig Baron. Craig was absolutely amazing and really seeks a holistic approach. He builds a profile of your health issues and spends time getting to understand your mental wellbeing. Craig recommended some remedies and a change in my diet. Since visiting him, I have felt so much better, I have been able to get back to the gym and I finally have energy to do things. Thank you Craig for helping me feel like myself again!

The staff are friendly and welcoming. I have been seeing Fiona on a regular basis and I know when I go I don’t have to say anything to her about any pain or stiffness as she finds my problem spots even the ones I didn’t know I had. Fiona always provides information on how to help get things back in track. I recommend Fiona to anyone who needs a massage to assist with any tightness, pain or injury.

Maree B.

I have more energy, my problematic skin issues have cleared up and my mood is better. I still have work to do but it is great to know that I have a practitioner I can count on who will spend time talking things through, and consider all possibilities. We are all unique and our health issues can be complex, so it’s important to have someone you can trust to help you work things out and get to the causes. My whole family Now attends the clinic.

Lyndell W.

I booked into the Livewell Clinic in desperation after spending seven months and thousands of dollars seeing GPs and Specialists who couldn't help me. I started having these weird episodes where I would get terrible nausea and dejavu and felt like I was about to have a fit.Heart and brain scans were clear so I was referred to a neurologist. After heaps more tests they told me my symptoms were similar to Epileptic Aura but they couldn't treat me because the scans were clear. They told me to try and de-stress and they would continue to monitor me.When the episodes got worse, a friend recommended I try a naturopath and so I googled and found Craig.He has been amazing at treating my "excitable nervous system". I like how he explains the science behind things and is very knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for less than a month but my episodes have reduced and I feel much better. It's only early days but I have noticed my heart is not racing as much, I'm calmer and have more energy. I have never tried alternate medicine before, or posted a review of a service, but decided to post this because it might help someone else going through a similar thing.

Rosemary O.

Trudy is wonderful! She shows genuine care and interest in my goals - and is realistic and practical. I feel really comfortable with her which means I can be totally open (about going off the rails with my nutrition!). She also has a great sense of humor and is incredibly knowledgeable. All of the team I’ve had encountered are also lovely. I initially came to the clinic because of the online booking function but Trudy is what keeps me coming back!

Katie H.

Great friendly service

Kat was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable & made me feel very comfortable with a not so comfortable issue. I would highly recommend Brisbane Livewell clinic :)

Suzie B.

I feel that the attention to details surrounding my food issues is being carefully considered before pointing fingers at any particular food. The new larger range food intolerance test I did, the last one was 8 years ago, opened my eyes to how far the research and accuracy of these tests has come along. Looking forward to eating without guessing!

Michael B.

Dayang Teresa S.

Heather H.

So incredibly pleased with the great advice and assistance I received from Dr Tanya. The results are fantastic, and I’m feeling sooo goood!!! One of the best decisions I made in my life. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing. Five stars from me.

Clarissa J.

Judy “JM” D.

I can recommend Craig Baron as a naturopath who takes time to understand your needs and lifestyle and gives easy to folllow, realistic plans.

Joanne W.

I could not love this place anymore than I do! It’s physically not possible!!! I love the energy right from when I walk in the door. The staff are SO helpful, understanding and non judgemental no matter what you’re session is for. I still get super excited for my appointment. Thanks for all your hard work!

Tayla W.

After being dismissed by an Endocrinologist with my rT3 results and telling me it’s a “naturopath thing” - well, it made perfect sense to me to see a naturopath AND I’m glad I did. My partner even commented when I got home because he could see how totally deflated I was when I got home from the appt with the so called specialist over a week ago. He said to me yesterday - well that must of gone well because you have a smile on your face......I’m looking forward to feeling better once my levels get back to normal. Thank you Katarina !
