Certificate IV in Kinesiology (HLT42807)
Unit Descriptions

BKP 101: Basic Self-care Kinesiology skills.
This workshop introduces you to three different kinds of easy to learn self-energiser trigger points (Neuro-Emotional, Neuro-Lymphatic, and Neuro-Vascular) and the powerful meridian energiser trace. As well, you will use walking gait reflexes, cross-crawl self integration, vision and hearing energy techniques.

You will learn a simple emotional stress release technique and emotional trigger words. You will enjoy the energising power of a specific goal, and be able to perform a ’time of day’ kinesiology energy balance for self care using whole body testing. You will be able identify basic anatomical parts and planes of the body and define kinesiology.

What elements will I learn in this first course unit?  [more]
 

BKP 102: Proficient manual muscle testing.
People completing this unit will be able to use muscle testing accurately, and perform a Kinesiology energy balance on others.

They will be able to identify dehydration, ionisation, neurological disorganisation (switching), central vessel integrity and thymus energy imbalance. They will be able to perform origin / insertion and spindle / golgi energy techniques, understand cautionary measures in evaluating body energy, apply pre- and post-evaluation procedures, demonstrate clear-circuit muscle testing and muscle facilitation / inhibition. They will know the bones of the skeleton.
 

BKP 103: Introduction to the Law of 5-Elements
This unit develops an elementary understanding of and skill in using basic 5-Element principles for energy balancing.

Those completing this unit will be able to demonstrate skill; apply sound, colour, food, emotional and vertebral balancing techniques; utilise circuit locating, and the challenge; use the 5-Element principle to perform an eight muscle energy balance and select the priority balancing procedure.
 

BKP 104: The body’s superficial energy connections
This unit introduces an understanding of the philosophy, principles and history of Kinesiology; to extend the understanding of meridians and their related organ systems and to develop proficiency in a 14 muscle wheel energy balance.

Those completing this unit will be able to perform a 14 muscle goal balance and utilise the More and Priority modes. They will be able to work with surrogates, describe body movements in anatomical terms and create a simple record of a client balance.
 

BKP 105: The Law of 5-Elements in depth
This unit extends the understanding of, and skill in using, the 5-Element principles and 5-Element emotions for energy balancing. It develops understanding and facility in using alarm points, Luo points, acupressure holding points; to extend the range of meridian energy indicator muscle tests; demonstrate their surface anatomy and recognise the muscles action in sport and exercise.

Those completing this unit will be able to use the 5-Element principles, alarm points, Luo points, acupressure holding points and the yin/yang principles to perform a 5-Element one-point goal balance.
 

BKP 106: The PKP Database. The PKP fingermode (analysis) protocol
This unit develops skill and understanding in the use of basic professional Kinesiology techniques.

Those who have completed this unit will be able to use effective listening skills to establish client rapport, understand the history and be able to use finger modes; Professional Kinesiology Practitioners' database concept, simplified PKP protocol, and age recession.
 

BKP 107: Using Kinesiology to reduce pain
This unit develops skill in using Kinesiology techniques to reduce physical pain.

Those completing this unit will be able to pre- and post-evaluate pain levels on a standard scale and use emotional and postural stress release, meridian flow adjustment, muscle energy techniques, cross crawl exercise, figure-8, marine spiral energy and food or supplements to reduce physical pain.
 

BKP 108: Food and body energy balancing
This unit extends an understanding of the development of Kinesiology. It develops an understanding of the chain of life, the six stages of nutrition, food combining; the concept of biogenic, biostatic, biocidic substances; to construct a diet using 5-Element, food family and food rotation principles; to develop skill in using C1 and ear acupoint sensitivity tests.

Those completing this unit will be able to use food to improve 5-Element energy, meridian and muscle function to balance body energy.
 

BKP 109: Advanced muscle techniques. Posture and muscle reactivity
This unit develops skill and understanding in correcting reactivity in muscles and meridians with (and without) circuit retaining or reactive modes. To develop skill in observing postural imbalance; to extend techniques in balancing energy in muscles using fingermodes.

Those completing this unit will demonstrate muscle facilitation and inhibition; identify and correct muscle and meridian reactivity, evaluate posture, apply muscle stretch response, sustained muscle use, hidden muscle failure, specific circuit and contralateral spindle techniques to improve posture and function.
 

BKP 110: Using client health records
To establish, utilise and update a client health record; communicate in a professional manner and set clear boundaries in a kinesiology practice; establish personal ethical behaviour and respect client’s rights in a health care context.

Those who have completed this unit will be able to describe professional health care relationships, set clear boundaries and communicate with both individuals and groups in a professional manner; function in an ethical manner, respect the rights of clients and liaise with other health practitioners in a professional manner; apply client history to establish desired outcomes, maintain client rapport, facilitate client towards self-responsibility model, keep clinical records, make necessary referrals.
