In kinesiology, meridians are understood as energy pathways that run through the human body and establish a connection between the physical and energetic systems. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), meridians are described as the main channels for the distribution of life energy, also known as qi, throughout the body.

In kinesiology, meridians are used as a tool to support health and well-being and to release blockages caused, for example, by stress, pain or injuries. It is believed that by stimulating specific acupuncture points along a meridian, the flow of energy can be restored, thereby resolving physical and emotional problems.

In kinesiology, the meridians are also used for diagnosis. This involves testing the strength or weakness of a particular meridian via muscle tension. A change in muscle tension is regarded as an indicator of a blockage in the energy flow and can be used to identify the cause of a physical or emotional disturbance.

It should be noted, however, that the link between meridians and kinesiology is controversial from a scientific perspective. To date, there is no scientific evidence for the existence of meridians or their functions, meaning that kinesiology is classified as an alternative form of therapy in this field. It is therefore important to weigh up your options carefully when choosing a form of therapy and to make an informed decision.
