the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK). The purpose of the ICAK is to promote teaching and research of AK.
Most practitioners of AK are chiropractors, but naturopaths, medical doctors, dentists, osteopaths, nutritionists, physical therapists, massage therapists, podiatrists, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners
Applied kinesiology was developed by George J. Goodheart Jr. in the 1960s. Goodheart was a chiropractor who integrated muscle testing techniques with chiropractic principles to create the system of applied kinesiology.
Applied kinesiology is considered a controversial diagnostic technique in the medical community, with little scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. Some practitioners may claim that it can help diagnose and treat various health conditions, but its safety and reliability have not been well-established. It's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before trying any alternative therapies, including applied kinesiology.
Research on applied kinesiology is limited and has shown mixed results. Some studies suggest that muscle testing in applied kinesiology may not be a reliable diagnostic tool, while others report positive outcomes in pain management and muscle function. More high-quality research is needed to determine the efficacy and validity of applied kinesiology.
Applied kinesiology is not classified as a traditional allied health career. It is a controversial practice primarily used in chiropractic and alternative medicine settings, focusing on muscle testing to diagnose and treat various health issues. While some practitioners may integrate it into their services, it lacks the rigorous scientific validation and standardization associated with recognized allied health professions. Therefore, it does not fit the conventional framework of allied health careers.

Kinesiology is a study of human movement and body mechanics, typically used in exercise science, physical therapy, and sports medicine. While some alternative medicine practices may use muscle testing techniques referred to as "applied kinesiology," this is not considered a mainstream practice in the field of kinesiology.
