Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is an Art 

Beware of those who test you for the need of supplements who have those supplements for sale on their shelves! Skeptics will never be able to master muscle testing as they’ll be up for proving it is bogus by making it all come out incoherent. If you test with preconceived expectations you will prejudice the result, (just like a scientific experiment can be influenced by the vested point of view of the observer). The result of your muscle test will match your expectation. If you are not entirely void of having anything to prove, your muscle testing will not be accurate. 

I consider that MMT is best used not as a TEST of anything as much as a way of having a kinesthetic conversation with the body, a form of biofeedback that helps a person to learn new movement options. In NeuroMuscular Reprogramming we use muscle testing to cue the organizational intelligence of the body to discover dysfunctional neuromuscular pathways and then use our other manual release techniques (your choice of modalities) to enable the body to discover (or recover) better, more efficient, easeful movement coordination options.

Additionally, if a person’s nervous system has organ, breathing regulation or emotional disturbance the results of muscle testing will be extremely variable and unreliable. I can see why many people have contradiction with the use of this tool. It requires taking a lot of things into consideration. It is not a simple pulley and lever system with measurable results. It is a way of conversing with a dynamic, living, intelligent system and much can be learned about that system through the use of MMT.

You can learn muscle testing by purchasing the NMR Manual Muscle Testing video Product on the NeuroMuscular-Reprogramming.com website.
