What Is Applied Kinesiology?

The definition of kinesiology is the study of motion. Started in 1964, applied kinesiology (A.K.) is a technique that allows for the diagnosis of joint and muscle performance factors based on muscle strength and weakness tests. By evaluating the muscles of a patient's body, an applied kinesiology doctor can better understand the overall health of a patient in terms of both function and neurology.

When joints don’t move properly, they cause irritation, inflammation, and pain. The most important way to correct the faulty motion patterns is by restoring normal function to the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, and tendons) that control the joint motion patterns.

What Nutritional Therapies Do We Offer?

We have a passion for all aspects of biochemistry, and the practical effects of nutrition on the body. With a thorough knowledge of the body’s chemical pathways, we prescribe specific minerals, vitamins, enzymes, herbs, and other standard nutrients which are necessary for overall health and well-being. At times we also prescribe homeopathic remedies to help prompt the body’s response back to health.

If we need to distinguish between different nutritional options, we may prescribe saliva lab testing to quantify levels of adrenal fatigue, blood sugar, sex hormone imbalances, and digestive dysfunction. The testing is also helpful in monitoring the progress of the therapies used.

In addition, Dr. Perrier offers our patients a very successful weight loss program. Contact McGee & Perrier Kinesiology to learn more about the weight loss program.

"...I was so impressed with Dr. Perrier’s unique method of adjustment and understanding of the body as a whole... His treatments, diet and nutrition recommendations have truly changed my life and my perspective for the future."

- Lorelea - Ronan, MT

"After playing softball for years and years, my body was wearing down. I was in my senior year – when my performance was most important – and I could barely walk . . . One of the girls on my team recommended that I go see Dr. McGee and that it had worked really well for her . . .

After a few weeks of going, I started feeling a little bit better, and the more I went, the better it seemed to get. As my body continued to improve, my performance started to get better and better. I owe my success in my senior season to Dr. McGee and his staff. I am very thankful that I came across such good people who cared about my mental and physical well being. You don’t have to take my word for it, but you should go in and find out for yourself.”
