🧭 General Understanding
Q: What is Advanced Applied Kinesiology (AAK)?
A: AAK is a lineage-based healing system that blends bodywork, structural realignment, and energy work rooted in osteopathy, Chinese medicine, and trauma-informed care. It addresses physical and emotional imbalances by finding and correcting the origin point of dysfunction.
Q: How is AAK different from chiropractic or physiotherapy?
A: While those modalities often focus on symptom relief, AAK seeks to understand the pattern behind the pain. We work holistically with the skeletal, nervous, and energetic systems to identify structural misalignments and unresolved trauma that may be contributing to your condition.
🧠 How It Works
Q: What kinds of issues can AAK help with?
A: Clients seek AAK for chronic pain, nerve compression (e.g., sciatica, migraines, tinnitus), digestive issues, fertility challenges, post-injury misalignments, emotional trauma stored in the body, and more. The core of our work is to restore balance so your body can begin to heal itself.
Q: What does a typical session involve?
A: A session begins with a detailed intake and physical assessment. We then use hands-on techniques to evaluate and adjust structural misalignments, especially at the C1 vertebra and pubic bone. Emotional responses may surface during the session, and we hold space for that healing as well.
Q: Is AAK painful?
A: Most clients report a sense of relief during and after the session. While there may be some tenderness as tension is released, the techniques are applied with care and precision—not force.
🛠 Treatment & Protocols
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Every body is different. Some clients experience major shifts in one or two sessions, while others with longstanding misalignments or trauma may need ongoing support. We assess progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Q: What happens after a session?
A: Healing continues after the table work. You'll receive personalized aftercare instructions—usually involving rest, icing, movement restrictions, and sometimes dietary changes or supportive tools. This part is crucial. Real transformation happens when the body is allowed to stabilize.
Q: Do I need to believe in energy work or have any prior experience?
A: No belief system is required. AAK is grounded in anatomy and practical diagnostic protocols. Clients often notice measurable improvements in pain and mobility, regardless of prior exposure to holistic practices.
💬 Client Experience & Safety
Q: What if I get emotional during treatment?
A: That’s welcome. Emotional release is often part of healing, especially when the nervous system is involved. We offer a safe, non-judgmental space for whatever may arise. You are never pushed—only supported.
Q: Is AAK safe during pregnancy or postpartum?
A: Yes—with modifications. AAK can be extremely helpful during pregnancy and postpartum for pubic bone misalignments, lower back pain, and organ positioning. Always disclose your pregnancy at the time of booking.
Q: Can children or seniors receive AAK?
A: Absolutely. AAK is gentle and adaptable. We’ve successfully treated clients from toddlers to elders. Each session is customized to meet the body’s needs and limitations.
📌 Logistics & Booking
Q: Do you accept insurance or provide receipts?
A: AAK is not covered by most insurance plans. However, receipts can be provided for reimbursement under categories like therapeutic bodywork, if eligible.
Q: What should I wear to a session?
A: Comfortable, stretchy clothing is ideal. You may be asked to remove certain items to access specific areas, but your modesty and comfort are always prioritized.
Q: How do I prepare for my session?
A: Eat lightly beforehand, stay hydrated, and try to arrive a few minutes early. Bring your completed intake form if not already submitted. Most importantly, come with an open mind and willingness to listen to your body.
