Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior Applied Kinesiology experience to take this course?

This course is designed for practitioners who already use muscle testing in their work. You don't need to be an AK expert, but you should have a basic working knowledge of muscle testing. If you're brand new to the field, we recommend starting with our AK Fundamentals course first.

What will I actually be able to do after completing the course?

You'll have 55+ shortcut techniques ready to use in practice, including how to: identify what to fix and in what order, balance all meridians in seconds, correct allergies in 30 seconds, treat TMJ (which can resolve up to 72% of what's out on a patient), and apply the five-minute phobia cure, among many others.
It's worth emphasizing again that these techniques really only take minutes to apply.

How quickly can I start using these techniques with clients?

Most practitioners begin applying the techniques during the training itself. Many graduates report using the techniques in their very next session after learning them in each class. Many of these techniques can stand alone, meaning you do not have to learn other processes to apply them.

What if I'm not satisfied with the course?

Participate in 30 days of the course and if you do not feel you’re getting much more than your money’s worth in powerful and practical knowledge and skills, simply notify the Kinesiology Institute in writing within 30 days of your enrollment and you’ll receive a full refund. So, you have no risk!
