FAQs — BioAlign Kinesiology, Bromley SE London

Question 1

What is kinesiology?

Accepted Answer

Kinesiology is a holistic therapy that uses gentle muscle testing as a biofeedback tool to identify imbalances in the body — structural, nutritional, emotional and energetic. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, it looks at the whole picture and works to address root causes.

Question 2

How does muscle testing work?

Accepted Answer

Muscle testing involves applying gentle pressure to a muscle — usually the arm — while the body is exposed to different stresses or stimuli. A muscle that holds firm indicates balance; one that gives way indicates an area of stress or imbalance. It's a subtle but remarkably accurate way of listening to what the body needs.

Question 3

Is kinesiology the same as physiotherapy or chiropractic?

Accepted Answer

No — kinesiology is a distinct therapy. While physiotherapy and chiropractic focus primarily on the physical body, kinesiology takes a whole-person approach, addressing structural, nutritional, emotional and energetic factors together. It is complementary to, rather than a replacement for, conventional medical care.

Question 4

Is kinesiology evidence-based?

Accepted Answer

Kinesiology draws on principles from a range of disciplines including anatomy, physiology, nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Many clients report significant improvements in their symptoms and wellbeing. As with many complementary therapies, the evidence base is growing, and kinesiology is best understood as a supportive, holistic approach.

Question 5

What happens in a session?

Accepted Answer

Each session begins with a questionnaire and consultation to understand your health history and current concerns. I then use muscle testing to identify imbalances across the structural, nutritional, emotional and energetic systems. Corrections are applied using gentle techniques — which may include massaging lymphatic points, acupressure points, nutritional guidance or emotional stress release — and you'll leave with a clear, personalised plan.

Question 6

How long does a session last?

Accepted Answer

Sessions typically last 60 minutes. 
1st session usually takes a bit longer: 75-90 minutes, as we need to discuss the whole health picture.

Question 7

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This varies from person to person. Some clients notice significant changes after just one or two sessions; others with more complex or long-standing issues benefit from a course of sessions. I'll always give you an honest assessment of what I think would help most, and there's no pressure to commit to a package upfront.

Question 8

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. Muscle testing is done with you lying on a treatment table, so you'll want to be able to relax easily. You remain fully clothed throughout the session.

Question 9

How should I prepare for my session?

Accepted Answer

Try to eat a light meal 1–2 hours beforehand and stay well hydrated. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session. Bring along any supplements or medications you're currently taking, and come with an open mind — the body often highlights things we don't expect.

Question 10

How much does a session cost?

Accepted Answer

All sessions are £70. A 50% deposit (£35) is required at the time of booking to secure your appointment. The remaining balance is payable on the day of your session. 24h cancellation or reschedule is required to keep the deposit.

Question 11

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

You can book via the booking form on the Contact page, or by getting in touch directly. I'll confirm your appointment and send all instructions once your deposit has been received.

Question 12

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may result in the deposit being retained. I understand that life happens — if something unavoidable comes up, please do get in touch and we'll do our best to find a solution.

Question 13

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

I practise from a calm, private treatment room in Bromley, SE London. The exact address is provided upon booking. I see clients from across Bromley, Lewisham and the wider SE London area.

Question 14

Do you offer online or remote sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer remote sessions.   We begin with a 15‑minute online consultation.  You will send me a hair sample by post. I then use surrogate muscle testing to carry out balancing work.  We finish with a further 15-20‑minute online consultation to discuss my findings and recommendations.

Question 15

Is kinesiology suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes — kinesiology is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for people of all ages including children. Sessions for younger clients are adapted accordingly. Please get in touch to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.

Question 16

Can I see you if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Please consult your midwife or GP before booking if you are pregnant. Kinesiology can be adapted for pregnancy, but I will always want to ensure it is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
