About Tony Galvin -Child Behaviour Therapies
I use kinesiology for anxiety in children and adults. Having had a long history of anxiety and related issues I have an excellent understanding of what it is like and what helps. Kinesiology treatments which I recieved in Australia ended my own anxiety. I became fascinated by how it worked and it has become my career.
Kinesiology was developed by chiropractors in the US in the 1970s. They developed a means of relieving 'stress' in the body by using acupressue techniques in a new way.
In my experience all anxiety is related to the fight / flight state. Coming out of that state is achieved when the person returns to feeling safe. Shock, trauma and sustained stress can 'switch' the body into fight / flight. I regularly find that young children with anxiety or related emotional issues, have as their source of distress a previous trauma that is unconcious to them. For example, a traumatic birth. KInesiology techniques seek to relieve that original stress and break the habit built into the brain.
It is a fascinating process that takes in our understanding of Chinese medicine as well as our new findings about the brain.
