Aoife Bowens - Kinesiology Therapist

Aoife Bowens is a member of The Kinesiology Association of Ireland. She has been running a busy practice in Bandon for the past 6 years.

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is a holistic therapy based on the study of muscles. It uses muscle testing to detect and correct imbalances in the body. As a modern and comprehensive natural therapy, Kinesiology uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to assess the body’s physical, nutritional and emotional health.

How can Kinesiology help me?

The nature of the treatment you receive will be tailored according to your particular needs. Your Kinesiologist will use muscle testing to discover if and where imbalances exist within the body.

Not only can muscle testing establish where imbalances exist, it can also be used to establish the most suitable remedy for the particular person being tested. While every individual’s needs differ, your Kinesiologist may recommend a treatment plan that includes nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies, lifestyle advice, as well as various stress release techniques.

As a complimentary therapy, Kinesiology works alongside any medical treatment you may be receiving and does not interfere with any medication. While you may feel much better after treatment, you are advised not to stop taking any prescribed medications without your doctor’s advice. While significant improvements can be achieved in the initial visit, follow-up sessions may be necessary for optimum health.
