Kinesiology Schools Australia Continually Improving!

Welcome to the second quarterly Kinesiology Schools

Australia newsletter.

There are many things to be learnt and many experiences

that can be shared. We would love this to be your magazine

as much as it is ours. To make that happen we need you to

send in your Kinesiology experiences, good bad and ugly.

What do I mean by bad or ugly ? Well if you have had a

session with someone and it didn’t go to plan and you learnt

something out of it then that is a learning experience that

might help someone else. We want to pass on the good

successful balances too of course.

Last week all the principals of KSA met in Byron Bay with Dr.

Bruce Dewe for the KSA AGM and a chin wag and to see

what we can do to improve things for our wonderful

students. We know we aren’t perfect and we want to make

your learning experience better for you.

In these meetings we discuss things like what has and

hasn’t worked the way we would like it to. We also talk about

any changes in Kinesiology, the government qualification process etc. One of the aims is to make

sure we continue to provide you with the best possible training, support you need while trying to

improve the overall quality of Kinesiology as an industry and in the public’s eye.

For those interested to know how Olympian Ethan Warren went In London. As written in the July

issue of this magazine Kinesiology helped Ethan to the Olympics. Ethan did a fantastic job

representing Australia and finished 7th. That’s pretty good for someone so young and reasonably

new to the sport. This was a great result when you consider that he nearly died a year ago and was

only able to complete his first full training session for 12 months in July, less than a month before

the Olympics. Well done Ethan.

Channel 7’s Sunrise reported that Health is one of the top 3 growing industries behind Mining and

Information Technology. Kinesiology is making break throughs in the public’s eye. Now more than

ever is the time to make sure you have the best Kinesiology knowledge and a broad range of skills.

Thankfully Kinesiology Schools Australia offers the PKP program. Although you should always

continue to learn and expend your knowledge, PKP provides you with all the skills and knowledge

you need.

Live, learn and help the public to better health and a better quality of life.

Yours In Health,

Danny Liddell

Chief Executive Officer

The National Health Package is under

review and being released.

What Is In Store For Your Future

Kinesiology Qualification?

Every 5 years the Australian National Training

Authority re-issues new guidelines and

requirements. The National Health Package is

under review and is being released. As well

as this, every registered training organisation

goes through a re-registering process.

Kinesiology Schools Australia is a RTO so we

must go through this process. It just so

happens that our registration is at the same

time as the HLT review.

So what does that mean for you.?

The intent of these upgrades is to improve the

quality of training in Australia. The unfortunate

thing is that the changes made are often done

by academics and not by the people in the

field. The people that would best be suited to

making these changes are usually too busy

implementing the changes rather than making

them.

The minimum requirements of the Certificate

IV in Kinesiology as it is now, allows for a very

low standard with not very much Kinesiology

required. KSA did not drop its standards to this

low quality. The wording is VERY ‘open’ and it is

easy for just about anyone to write a course and

throw in a couple of Kinesiology techniques.

These courses might be called Kinesiology by

name but barely recognizable in content.

Graduates of some colleges are more likely to be

taught massage with a little muscle testing in it to

pass the minimum requirements.

Why does it need to change ?

Kinesiology was first added to the Health

Package in 2007 and was poorly written. I don’t

think there would be too many arguments with

me saying this. To the credit of those involved, I

will say, that at least they got the ball rolling.

The backlash has seen many in the industry

request higher standards that ensure a better

quality of Kinesiology is taught. How much is

added will be the question.

I’m sure there will still be loop holes found by

some colleges that are more interested in money

than they are in either Kinesiology or the interest

of the student. But at least it will be a step in the

New Changes To Kinesiology Qualification

5

right direction.

The Kinesiology taught in the Kinesiology

Schools Australia Certificate IV and Diploma

far exceeds the requirements and will far

exceed the new requirements to be introduced.

I am confident of this because our standards

and course content are so high. If our course

does not meet the requirements then no other

course will either.

What will be changed?

The minimum quality of Kinesiology that must

be included into all new Certificate IVs in

Kinesiology will be improved. How much is yet

to be seen. We will only know that in a year or

two. You can be assured that the KSA

Certificate IV is already well above whatever

the new requirements will be.

One thing for sure is that every time the

authorities update qualifications they always

add in the extras. I won’t say they are time

wasters because it is important to know

infection control and OH&S. In saying that,

they are not the skills of the trade required to

turn students into good quality sought after

practitioners.

I haven’t seen the changes in detail but you

can be pretty sure that there will be extra, of

what I call, ‘fluff’ included. The extra ‘fluff’ is

required because all courses must cater for

people that have never existed in life and those

that have no life experience and are just

leaving school. So you might find extra “non

skills” are required. These subject, as I stated

earlier, do have their importance but should be

pretty much common knowledge to most

people.

There will be extra red tape administration work

required by KSA. This is a definite.

How To avoid the extra study

Enrol now and start your course before the end

of 2012 and you will only have to do the present

requirements. You can be assured that the

Kinesiology Schools Australia course already

far exceeds all present and future Kinesiology

requirements of the courses. By starting now

you will only miss out on any new non

Kinesiology requirements that may be added.

So how do I enrol ?

Contact your local campus or fill out the

enrolment form downloadable from the website

then post it to us straight away.

Remember to ensure you are taught with

utmost care, our class numbers are kept small

so enrol today to reserve your place. Don’t miss

out.

The Importance of taking a History

His or Her story is the key to a

truly meaningful Kinesiology

Balance

By Bronwyn Kennedy

(BEd, Dip Kin)

Kinesiology Schools Australia

I often remind the students at our Brisbane

College that the quality of our lives is based

on the quality of the questions we ask

ourselves. By this I mean that we will

always get different outcomes in our life

depending on if we ask “Why me?”

compared to “What has to happen in order

to change this situation?”, “How could things

be different?”, or “What are the benefits or

drawbacks to this situation?”.

It is the same in my clinical practice as a

Kinesiologist. The quality of my Kinesiology

skills is based on the quality of my

questions, especially when taking my clients

history and during the PKP protocol.

As eager students, we often want to get

through some of the history sections in our

PKP protocol quickly so that we can get stuck

into setting a goal about how our client wants to

feel / be / do, so that we can put them on the

table to balance. But as our College Principal,

Danny Liddell always says – if you listen long

enough and spend time taking a detailed history

with lots of questions, the client will tell you the

answer to their problems.

Remember too, spending a bit more time during

the history taking and making sure you are on

track with the clients needs and wants, the

opportunity to think outside the square and

come up with more pre-tests (than the standard:

visual inhibition, auriculars, gaits, cross crawl

etc) and pre- activities (stressors in their

everyday life) is so much easier. And as we

often find, the more stressors we put “on line”

and the more neurology we set up in regards to

the issue, the more meaningful the balance will

be. This also means that when the clients get

back out into the real world with all these

stresses, that the balance will last much longer,

“If you listen long enough with lots of

questions, the client will tell you the

answer to their problems”

7

if not indefinitely, because we have taken the

time in the initial phase to set up all the

neurology and stressors involved.

Accordingly, in Dr Anna Rolfes (MD, PhD)

research on “The Phenomenon of Indicator

Muscle Change”, two of the key factors that

came from the study were:

1. The majority of research participants

were of the opinion that a good client /

practitioner relationship was important

for the successful use of indicator

muscle change as this involves a

certain degree of trust between 2

people

2. The knowledge and skill of the

Kinesiologist contributed considerably

to the efficiency of the indicator muscle

change, ie, the more we know about

the issue and the client, the more

accurate the indicator muscle is.

Hence the vital importance of taking a

quality history

This research, therefore, also suggests the

importance of establishing rapport and active

listening so that the client is comfortable and

open to the Kinesiology experience. Without

this trust, the client may block themselves, and

the body may not give permission for an issue

to be dealt with.

Fortunately we cover a lot about active

listening skills and establishing rapport in BKP

106, 110 as well as in the EMS units in the

diploma.

In closing, I thought it would be appropriate to

include some questions that might be useful

you to utilise in your own clinic sessions so

that you can really find out as much

information as possible during the history

taking to make your balances deeper and

stronger.

Who is involved in the issue?

When does it occur and for how long?

How do you feel this creates problems for

you?

How would you like to feel?

What does it stop you from doing?

What was going on in your life leading up

to this time?

Has this situation happened in your past

with other people or in your childhood?

When was this the earliest time you

remember this happening?

What are you worried about most if this

continues to happen?

Have you tried anything else to help this

situation?

What do you feel you can do about this

situation?

What is stopping you from doing this?

How has your life been different since this

happened?

HFK expands your Kinesiology skills in the bio-

chemical aspect of the triad of health. The 3

day course is fully accredited with the AKA and

AIK and enhances all other Kinesiology

Modalities.

Understanding the relationship of the 5

Elements and the cycles of energy flow can

give us a deeper understanding of people’s

imbalances and symptoms. Traditional

Herbalism is very much symptom oriented,

while HFK fits into the Kinesiology Model.

If we use herbs to balance the body according

to its energy flow, we may be tonifying or

sedating organs and meridians that are

preceding the organ/meridian showing

symptoms either in the ko or sheng cycles

rather than “treat” the condition presenting.

As you are offering the priority corrections, you

may give several sessions doing emotional

work or balancing the meridian system using

Kinesiology type corrections.

This process can be supported, or the

effectiveness increased through adding a bio-

chemical focus. It is helpful to ask the body if a

build up of toxins or low functional energy of

organs is contributing to the imbalances the

person is showing.

Many clients exhibit emotional symptoms,

when all along they’ve been overwhelmed by

candida toxins, hormonal imbalances or

allergies. Emotional healing will help the

person cope somewhat, but without addressing

the underlying toxicity, it is a very slow

process. Many clients feel enormous relief

when they understand that is isn’t “all in the

head”.

One of the best applications of herbs in

Kinesiology Practice is in supporting the client

to maintain their balance. Herbs are used as

part of the steps a client takes to take charge

of their healing process. Taking a cup of herbal

tea twice daily, which nurtures and feeds the

nervous system, enhances and helps maintain

an emotional balance. Raising the functional

energy of organs with specific herbs will

enhance a balance for high vitality.

The intention of the course is to give students

confidence in incorporating herbs into their

work. Topics covered include Kinesiology

procedures, understanding of herbal products,

function and dysfunction of body systems and

organs, and skills to be able to test for and

recommend herbs safely and appropriately.

I believe it is essential for any health care

provider to understand the concept of

detoxification and tonification, as well as how to

monitor the healing process and guide the

person in making positive lifestyle changes.

Students are required to be fluent in balancing

the five elements before attending this workshop,

so either the BKP Certificate or equivalent are

pre-requisites.

Your investment in this course is $530, which

includes your manual and GST.

Is a sedentary life-style taking years off

your life? It seems that being active part of

the time may not be enough.

We need to be on the move throughout the

day, as our predecessors where.

A recent ABC Catalyst program (16.8.12) ran

a report on the health impact of sitting for long

periods. The report was based on studies

conducted by ANU in Canberra and Sydney

University and followed two hundred thousand

people aged forty five and over and over a

three year period.

That’s a significant study, and if you get up

from extended period of sitting with a stiff back

you will realise that the stiff back is just the tip

of the iceberg!

Taking into account all other factors such as

smoking, diet etc, the report found that:

Sitting for over 11 hours a day = 40%

increased risk of early death

Sitting for over 8 hours a day = 15%

increased risk of early death

In the study, those who exercised

regularly were still at an increased

risk of early death the longer they

sat, but being inactive added to the

risk. Those who didn't exercise and

sat the most fared worst of all.

So what exactly is it about sitting

that's so bad for you?

At the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes

Institute in Melbourne, Assoc Prof

David Dunstan said

“When we are sitting, there's no

muscle contract ions. Muscle

contraction helps the body's

efficiency to clear blood sugar and blood fat

levels”.

A high calorie meal raises blood sugar

levels. In people who sit for long periods,

those levels remain high for hours. It's

known that elevated glucose levels can lead

to inflammation which if repeated on a

number of days or weeks, can lead to heart

disease and, and a host of other conditions

such as cancer.

Breaking up sitting time can have a

dramatic effect. A light two minute walk

every twenty minutes is enough to lower

blood glucose levels by around thirty

percent.

There was no difference between doing light

intensity walking or moderate intensity

walking; it's the physical movement that's

important. What we need to incorporate is

more movement throughout the day.

Get up, Stand up, Stand up for

your life!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the

day. If you where setting out on a long road trip,

you would ensure your vehicle was fuelled

properly, the same needs to be the case for

your body!

After waking and giving thanks for the new day,

a few gentle stretches will get your body

stimulated. Begin with a glass of warm water,

this gets digestive function purring and draws

energy to the stomach. A glass of diluted

Lemon juice will benefit general Alkaline levels

and also your dental health. An alkaline system

helps the dental enamel to be laid down better –

rinse your mouth.

A Ginger tea (3 or 4 slices of fresh ginger) with

your favourite “bitter” herb is empowering

digestion.

Many of us have a cereal breakfast.

This will give you energy for the day, but will

also send your blood sugar level high,

especially if you are using refined

“packaged”cereals. Home cooked whole grain

cereals breakdown and release sugars more

slowly.

A better choice is a protein breakfast.

This can include cereals. Protein gives your

body raw materials for repair tasks, building

hormones and immune factors, and slows down

sugar release from carbohydrates.

When I first heard about Michelle’s accident I

was distraught, hearing that your 30 year old

friend that loves motorbike riding, netball and a

mum of 3 kids and loving wife was probably

never going to walk again. How unfair is that...

But it turns out that my friend Michelle is also a

fighter and an inspirational woman. When I first

went to visit Michelle in the Spinal Unit of the

PA Hospital in Brisbane, 5 weeks after the car

accident, she told me that she had taken her

first steps that day!

I started working with Michelle in the hospital

straight away, she was keen to try anything as

she was disappointed in the way the hospital

dealt with her pain with more and more

medication, and more and more compromises

on her lifestyle.

Even though she had walked that day, it was

very difficult for her to control any of the

muscles in her legs and hold herself up, Her

feet and toes felt like they were blown up like

balloons. She had been getting headaches

since the accident, her legs and right arm had

constant tingling nerve pain, and pain in her

lower back (where her injury was) and in her

shoulders and neck.

The only way that Michelle could move her

legs was if someone was touching them. It

seemed to me that her nerves that sensed

touch were taking over for her

proprioception, if you asked her to lift her

legs off the bed she could not do it, but the

slight touch of someone’s hand and she

could lift her leg.

That first session, on the recommendation of

Danny Liddell, my teacher, I worked only

with the muscles, balancing muscles in turn

with the points we learnt all the way back in

BKP101, neuro-lymphatics, vasculars and

emotional points and some Hyperton-X on

the muscles that were jammed. I

concentrated on her feet and legs at first as

they were bothering her the most. After

balancing 3 muscles in her feet the ‘balloon’

feeling was totally gone!

I then tested her Psoas Muscles (using a

surrogate) and corrected them, after I had

done that I asked her to lift her leg.... She

looked at me like I was a crazy person and

laughed, I could tell she was thinking ‘as if I

can move my leg now after only that....’ I

asked her to at least humour me and try.

I will never forget the look on her and her

husband’s face when she lifted her legs

without anyone touching her. She was amazed

and so was I! Michelle had asked me if I could

help her to walk with her kids, and I told her I

would have her playing netball again. I didn’t

really think I could, until that exact point!

I then did a hypertonic release of Michelle’s

neck, and once again more amazement, not only

was the pain gone, so was the ‘pins and needles’

nerve pain, and as of today 6 months later the

pain and the headaches have never returned!

I went and balanced Michelle in the Spinal unit 5

more times in the 12 weeks she was there. She

was determined that she was going to walk out

of there and leave her wheelchair behind, and

she did!

Since that first balance I have been able to help

Michelle deal with her pain which has been

constantly changing as more of her muscles

were being used and strengthening, help her to

control her fine motor movements in her right

foot so that she could get her car licence back

and deal with the anger she has towards the

woman who caused her car accident.

I ran into Michelle today down the street, she

was loading her car with heavy shopping and

she told me how maybe she overdid it yesterday

carrying a 25kg drum of chlorine!!! She’s the

toughest chick I know!

“Well Done Kylie. This story is a fine example

of what you and PKP can achieve. You are

still a student and you have revived the life of

a young mother that would other wise be

stuck in a wheel chair, possibly for life. That’s

awesome.

I continually tell my students to step out of the

comfort zone and make use of these fantastic

skills that have been learnt. Thankfully, like

many other of my students, Kylie did. About a

month ago I actually met Michelle when I saw

her son. If she had not mentioned her story

and who she was I would not have known

she had a problem. It really is testament to

what a great job Kylie has done. So, to all

other PKP students, PLEASSSEEEEEE get

out there and change the world. Help people

because you can. And happily accept the

payment for it. You deserve it.

Kylie mentioned, "muscles that were

‘jammed’" . This is just an expression used to

describe when a muscle won’t pinch off. We

learn in BKP102 to pinch off the indicator

muscle at the start of a balance. Many

Kinesiologists don’t think about it after that.

Pinching off a muscle when there is a

problem in an area can make a huge

difference. Remember if the muscle doesn’t

pinch off then it is not working correctly. A

muscle must be able to lock and unlock. This

can cause all sorts of problems including

pain, lack of movement and even inability to

move a limb (muscles move the limbs).”

The first Kinesiopractic® Faculty Training Workshop (the new FAC

3) was held at Kinesiology Connection in Melbourne recently. Senior

FAC Trainer, Rowena Ritchie, co-taught with Faculty Trainer Denise

Gurney who travelled from the UK. They were assisted by FAC

Trainer Ed Faust.

The FAC 3 class, all senior practitioners and graduates of the

complete ICPKP training programme, spent a challenging ten days

(as students again) while they worked to become teachers of the

Post Graduate Diploma programme.

Rowena and Denise said that the graduate students were well

prepared for the intensive programme and everyone demonstrated

competency throughout the written, oral, practical and teaching

assessments. They can all be very proud of their success.

Kinesiopractic® Faculty Training teachers

and graduates celebrate their success in

Hyperton-X is a form of Kinesiology that specialises in flexibility, learning difficulties,

emotional trauma, sports performance & injury recovery, pain relief and allergies by

releasing the excess (hyper) tension (tonic) in muscles.

All the techniques are easy to learn and even easier to us. Hyperton-X is designed for

people with no previous experience in Kinesiology or health.

The Gall Bladder Organ

The gallbladder is a thin-walled green muscular sac about

10 cm long. Roughly the size of a kiwi fruit, it snuggles in a

shallow fossa on the ventral surface of the liver. The

gallbladder stores and concentrates the bile from the liver,

which aids in digestion, particularly of fats. It contracts and

releases bile when fats reach the duodenum from the

stomach.

The gall bladder can be damage by:

Excessive amounts of fat and oil; refined,

hydrogenated and synthetic oils

Stress

The gall bladder can be protected from infections by eating:

Good quality (grape, wine or apple cider) vinegar

Pickles

Sauerkraut and other ferments

Sediment in the gallbladder can lead to infection.

Symptoms include:

Bitter taste in mouth

Chest pain

Indigestion

Periodic pain below the right side of the rib cage

Tension in the back of the shoulder near the neck

Gall Bladder Goals

Use these statements as goals to base a balance around, or an affirmation.

My gallbladder functions at optimum levels

All parts of my digestive system function at optimum levels

My body functions free from gall stones

Muscles

These muscles are on the Gall Bladder Meridian

and relate to the Gall Bladder Meridian energy

and the function of the Gall Bladder. Use these

muscles as pre-tests.

Anterior Deltoid

Popliteus

Reference: Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe, ICPKP practitioner Database

Emotional component

Experiencing resentment, grief about men, our

male self or achievement in the world. Feeling

irritated, depressed, indecisive, confused,

angry, sad, wounded. Thinking of yourself as

a failure, thus sabotaging any opportunity for

success. Feeling second best, neglected,

unimportant, a victim. Holding onto trauma and

pain fro the past which has created struggles,

hardship and lack in your life.

Ref: The Secret Language of your Body, Inna Segal

Gall Bladder Meridian Metaphors

How are you not digesting the heavy parts of your life

functioning?

Are you not diluting your life enough with clear water that

is bringing in the neutral parts to reduce the concentration

of dissolving or breaking aspects of your life?

Do you remain too concentrated for your own good?

The Gall Bladder Meridian

There is joyous release of the past. Life is sweet, and so am I.

Reference: Louise L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Life

The Wood Element metaphor is

symbolized by green growing natural

forms of life. The Wood Element is fed by

and springs from the Water Element,

which can be thought of in terms of water

feeding the roots of a tree, or even the

original birth of life in the ocean. The

Wood Element provides fuel for the Fire

Element, nourishing its growth. The

Wood Element controls the Earth Element

by putting roots into the ground and

holding it in place. The Wood Element is

controlled by the Metal Element because

of the powerful force Metal contains to

chop, destroy or transform.

The Gall Bladder Meridian

Element Metaphor: Wood

Do you have enough roots to sustain your

growth, and enough fuel to sustain your

passions?

How does the image of green growing things

relate to your life and your goals?

Do you have enough structure in your growth

so that you can achieve your purposes or do

you need to allow yourself more freedom in

your growth to be fulfilled?

Do you need more freedom?
