    Treating Learning Difficulties

    Kinesiology works to address an over-active stress response system where the body is in a constant state of high alert. Children can be stuck in this state which decreases the ability for the brain to receive the signals it needs for optimal learning. Kinesiology switches off this unwanted energy pathway, inhibiting retained neo-natal reflexes and allowing for a calmer, more effective learning experience.  Michael has a keen interest in helping children with learning difficulties and his skills in this area are highly regarded by his peers.

    Kinesiology for Anxiety and Stress

    Kinesiology for anxiety and stress is a holistic way of treating these imbalances in your body that is gentle on your body and encourages natural healing.

    The treatment Kinesiology for Anxiety begins with gentle muscle monitoring conducted by an experienced Kinesiologist like Michael McCloskey. The nature of stresses the patient is suffering from, and the parts of the body they are affecting, are analysed.

    Michael McCloskey Says...

    Bringing your children to see a Kinesiologist like me can be incredibly valuable, especially when they exhibit anxiety, learning difficulties, or behavioral issues. Kinesiology offers a holistic approach that aims to address the underlying causes of these challenges. By empowering children with practical techniques and insights, Kinesiologists can help them regain balance (in their body and mind), improve their well-being, and unlock their full potential.
