Kinesiology Schools Australia Continually Improving!
Welcome to the second quarterly Kinesiology Schools
Australia newsletter.
There are many things to be learnt and many experiences
that can be shared. We would love this to be your magazine
as much as it is ours. To make that happen we need you to
send in your Kinesiology experiences, good bad and ugly.
What do I mean by bad or ugly ? Well if you have had a
session with someone and it didn’t go to plan and you learnt
something out of it then that is a learning experience that
might help someone else. We want to pass on the good
successful balances too of course.
Last week all the principals of KSA met in Byron Bay with Dr.
Bruce Dewe for the KSA AGM and a chin wag and to see
what we can do to improve things for our wonderful
students. We know we aren’t perfect and we want to make
your learning experience better for you.
In these meetings we discuss things like what has and
hasn’t worked the way we would like it to. We also talk about
any changes in Kinesiology, the government qualification process etc. One of the aims is to make
sure we continue to provide you with the best possible training, support you need while trying to
improve the overall quality of Kinesiology as an industry and in the public’s eye.
For those interested to know how Olympian Ethan Warren went In London. As written in the July
issue of this magazine Kinesiology helped Ethan to the Olympics. Ethan did a fantastic job
representing Australia and finished 7th. That’s pretty good for someone so young and reasonably
new to the sport. This was a great result when you consider that he nearly died a year ago and was
only able to complete his first full training session for 12 months in July, less than a month before
the Olympics. Well done Ethan.
Channel 7’s Sunrise reported that Health is one of the top 3 growing industries behind Mining and
Information Technology. Kinesiology is making break throughs in the public’s eye. Now more than
ever is the time to make sure you have the best Kinesiology knowledge and a broad range of skills.
Thankfully Kinesiology Schools Australia offers the PKP program. Although you should always
continue to learn and expend your knowledge, PKP provides you with all the skills and knowledge
you need.
Live, learn and help the public to better health and a better quality of life.
Yours In Health,
Danny Liddell
Chief Executive Officer

The National Health Package is under
review and being released.
What Is In Store For Your Future
Kinesiology Qualification?
Every 5 years the Australian National Training
Authority re-issues new guidelines and
requirements. The National Health Package is
under review and is being released. As well
as this, every registered training organisation
goes through a re-registering process.
Kinesiology Schools Australia is a RTO so we
must go through this process. It just so
happens that our registration is at the same
time as the HLT review.
So what does that mean for you.?
The intent of these upgrades is to improve the
quality of training in Australia. The unfortunate
thing is that the changes made are often done
by academics and not by the people in the
field. The people that would best be suited to
making these changes are usually too busy
implementing the changes rather than making
them.
The minimum requirements of the Certificate
IV in Kinesiology as it is now, allows for a very
low standard with not very much Kinesiology
required. KSA did not drop its standards to this
low quality. The wording is VERY ‘open’ and it is
easy for just about anyone to write a course and
throw in a couple of Kinesiology techniques.
These courses might be called Kinesiology by
name but barely recognizable in content.
Graduates of some colleges are more likely to be
taught massage with a little muscle testing in it to
pass the minimum requirements.
Why does it need to change ?
Kinesiology was first added to the Health
Package in 2007 and was poorly written. I don’t
think there would be too many arguments with
me saying this. To the credit of those involved, I
will say, that at least they got the ball rolling.
The backlash has seen many in the industry
request higher standards that ensure a better
quality of Kinesiology is taught. How much is
added will be the question.
I’m sure there will still be loop holes found by
some colleges that are more interested in money
than they are in either Kinesiology or the interest
of the student. But at least it will be a step in the
New Changes To Kinesiology Qualification
5
right direction.
The Kinesiology taught in the Kinesiology
Schools Australia Certificate IV and Diploma
far exceeds the requirements and will far
exceed the new requirements to be introduced.
I am confident of this because our standards
and course content are so high. If our course
does not meet the requirements then no other
course will either.
What will be changed?
The minimum quality of Kinesiology that must
be included into all new Certificate IVs in
Kinesiology will be improved. How much is yet
to be seen. We will only know that in a year or
two. You can be assured that the KSA
Certificate IV is already well above whatever
the new requirements will be.
One thing for sure is that every time the
authorities update qualifications they always
add in the extras. I won’t say they are time
wasters because it is important to know
infection control and OH&S. In saying that,
they are not the skills of the trade required to
turn students into good quality sought after
practitioners.
I haven’t seen the changes in detail but you
can be pretty sure that there will be extra, of
what I call, ‘fluff’ included. The extra ‘fluff’ is
required because all courses must cater for
people that have never existed in life and those
that have no life experience and are just
leaving school. So you might find extra “non
skills” are required. These subject, as I stated
earlier, do have their importance but should be
pretty much common knowledge to most
people.
There will be extra red tape administration work
required by KSA. This is a definite.
How To avoid the extra study
Enrol now and start your course before the end
of 2012 and you will only have to do the present
requirements. You can be assured that the
Kinesiology Schools Australia course already
far exceeds all present and future Kinesiology
requirements of the courses. By starting now
you will only miss out on any new non
Kinesiology requirements that may be added.
So how do I enrol ?
Contact your local campus or fill out the
enrolment form downloadable from the website
then post it to us straight away.
Remember to ensure you are taught with
utmost care, our class numbers are kept small
so enrol today to reserve your place. Don’t miss
out.

The Importance of taking a History
His or Her story is the key to a
truly meaningful Kinesiology
Balance
By Bronwyn Kennedy
(BEd, Dip Kin)
Kinesiology Schools Australia
I often remind the students at our Brisbane
College that the quality of our lives is based
on the quality of the questions we ask
ourselves. By this I mean that we will
always get different outcomes in our life
depending on if we ask “Why me?”
compared to “What has to happen in order
to change this situation?”, “How could things
be different?”, or “What are the benefits or
drawbacks to this situation?”.
It is the same in my clinical practice as a
Kinesiologist. The quality of my Kinesiology
skills is based on the quality of my
questions, especially when taking my clients
history and during the PKP protocol.
As eager students, we often want to get
through some of the history sections in our
PKP protocol quickly so that we can get stuck
into setting a goal about how our client wants to
feel / be / do, so that we can put them on the
table to balance. But as our College Principal,
Danny Liddell always says – if you listen long
enough and spend time taking a detailed history
with lots of questions, the client will tell you the
answer to their problems.
Remember too, spending a bit more time during
the history taking and making sure you are on
track with the clients needs and wants, the
opportunity to think outside the square and
come up with more pre-tests (than the standard:
visual inhibition, auriculars, gaits, cross crawl
etc) and pre- activities (stressors in their
everyday life) is so much easier. And as we
often find, the more stressors we put “on line”
and the more neurology we set up in regards to
the issue, the more meaningful the balance will
be. This also means that when the clients get
back out into the real world with all these
stresses, that the balance will last much longer,
“If you listen long enough with lots of
questions, the client will tell you the
answer to their problems”
7
if not indefinitely, because we have taken the
time in the initial phase to set up all the
neurology and stressors involved.
Accordingly, in Dr Anna Rolfes (MD, PhD)
research on “The Phenomenon of Indicator
Muscle Change”, two of the key factors that
came from the study were:
1. The majority of research participants
were of the opinion that a good client /
practitioner relationship was important
for the successful use of indicator
muscle change as this involves a
certain degree of trust between 2
people
2. The knowledge and skill of the
Kinesiologist contributed considerably
to the efficiency of the indicator muscle
change, ie, the more we know about
the issue and the client, the more
accurate the indicator muscle is.
Hence the vital importance of taking a
quality history
This research, therefore, also suggests the
importance of establishing rapport and active
listening so that the client is comfortable and
open to the Kinesiology experience. Without
this trust, the client may block themselves, and
the body may not give permission for an issue
to be dealt with.
Fortunately we cover a lot about active
listening skills and establishing rapport in BKP
106, 110 as well as in the EMS units in the
diploma.
In closing, I thought it would be appropriate to
include some questions that might be useful
you to utilise in your own clinic sessions so
that you can really find out as much
information as possible during the history
taking to make your balances deeper and
stronger.
Who is involved in the issue?
When does it occur and for how long?
How do you feel this creates problems for
you?
How would you like to feel?
What does it stop you from doing?
What was going on in your life leading up
to this time?
Has this situation happened in your past
with other people or in your childhood?
When was this the earliest time you
remember this happening?
What are you worried about most if this
continues to happen?
Have you tried anything else to help this
situation?
What do you feel you can do about this
situation?
What is stopping you from doing this?
How has your life been different since this
happened?

HFK expands your Kinesiology skills in the bio-
chemical aspect of the triad of health. The 3
day course is fully accredited with the AKA and
AIK and enhances all other Kinesiology
Modalities.
Understanding the relationship of the 5
Elements and the cycles of energy flow can
give us a deeper understanding of people’s
imbalances and symptoms. Traditional
Herbalism is very much symptom oriented,
while HFK fits into the Kinesiology Model.
If we use herbs to balance the body according
to its energy flow, we may be tonifying or
sedating organs and meridians that are
preceding the organ/meridian showing
symptoms either in the ko or sheng cycles
rather than “treat” the condition presenting.
As you are offering the priority corrections, you
may give several sessions doing emotional
work or balancing the meridian system using
Kinesiology type corrections.
This process can be supported, or the
effectiveness increased through adding a bio-
chemical focus. It is helpful to ask the body if a

build up of toxins or low functional energy of
organs is contributing to the imbalances the
person is showing.
Many clients exhibit emotional symptoms,
when all along they’ve been overwhelmed by
candida toxins, hormonal imbalances or
allergies. Emotional healing will help the
person cope somewhat, but without addressing
the underlying toxicity, it is a very slow
process. Many clients feel enormous relief
when they understand that is isn’t “all in the
head”.
One of the best applications of herbs in
Kinesiology Practice is in supporting the client
to maintain their balance. Herbs are used as
part of the steps a client takes to take charge
of their healing process. Taking a cup of herbal
tea twice daily, which nurtures and feeds the
nervous system, enhances and helps maintain
an emotional balance. Raising the functional
energy of organs with specific herbs will
enhance a balance for high vitality.
The intention of the course is to give students
confidence in incorporating herbs into their

work. Topics covered include Kinesiology
procedures, understanding of herbal products,
function and dysfunction of body systems and
organs, and skills to be able to test for and
recommend herbs safely and appropriately.
I believe it is essential for any health care
provider to understand the concept of
detoxification and tonification, as well as how to
monitor the healing process and guide the
person in making positive lifestyle changes.
Students are required to be fluent in balancing
the five elements before attending this workshop,
so either the BKP Certificate or equivalent are
pre-requisites.
Your investment in this course is $530, which
includes your manual and GST.

Is a sedentary life-style taking years off
your life? It seems that being active part of
the time may not be enough.
We need to be on the move throughout the
day, as our predecessors where.
A recent ABC Catalyst program (16.8.12) ran
a report on the health impact of sitting for long
periods. The report was based on studies
conducted by ANU in Canberra and Sydney
University and followed two hundred thousand
people aged forty five and over and over a
three year period.
That’s a significant study, and if you get up
from extended period of sitting with a stiff back
you will realise that the stiff back is just the tip
of the iceberg!
Taking into account all other factors such as
smoking, diet etc, the report found that:
Sitting for over 11 hours a day = 40%
increased risk of early death
Sitting for over 8 hours a day = 15%
increased risk of early death
In the study, those who exercised
regularly were still at an increased
risk of early death the longer they
sat, but being inactive added to the
risk. Those who didn't exercise and
sat the most fared worst of all.
So what exactly is it about sitting
that's so bad for you?
At the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes
Institute in Melbourne, Assoc Prof
David Dunstan said
“When we are sitting, there's no
muscle contract ions. Muscle
contraction helps the body's
efficiency to clear blood sugar and blood fat
levels”.
A high calorie meal raises blood sugar
levels. In people who sit for long periods,
those levels remain high for hours. It's
known that elevated glucose levels can lead
to inflammation which if repeated on a
number of days or weeks, can lead to heart
disease and, and a host of other conditions
such as cancer.
Breaking up sitting time can have a
dramatic effect. A light two minute walk
every twenty minutes is enough to lower
blood glucose levels by around thirty
percent.
There was no difference between doing light
intensity walking or moderate intensity
walking; it's the physical movement that's
important. What we need to incorporate is
more movement throughout the day.

your life!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the
day. If you where setting out on a long road trip,
you would ensure your vehicle was fuelled
properly, the same needs to be the case for
your body!
After waking and giving thanks for the new day,
a few gentle stretches will get your body
stimulated. Begin with a glass of warm water,
this gets digestive function purring and draws
energy to the stomach. A glass of diluted
Lemon juice will benefit general Alkaline levels
and also your dental health. An alkaline system
helps the dental enamel to be laid down better –
rinse your mouth.
A Ginger tea (3 or 4 slices of fresh ginger) with
your favourite “bitter” herb is empowering
digestion.
Many of us have a cereal breakfast.
This will give you energy for the day, but will
also send your blood sugar level high,
especially if you are using refined
“packaged”cereals. Home cooked whole grain
cereals breakdown and release sugars more
slowly.
A better choice is a protein breakfast.
This can include cereals. Protein gives your
body raw materials for repair tasks, building
hormones and immune factors, and slows down
sugar release from carbohydrates.

When I first heard about Michelle’s accident I
was distraught, hearing that your 30 year old
friend that loves motorbike riding, netball and a
mum of 3 kids and loving wife was probably
never going to walk again. How unfair is that...
But it turns out that my friend Michelle is also a
fighter and an inspirational woman. When I first
went to visit Michelle in the Spinal Unit of the
PA Hospital in Brisbane, 5 weeks after the car
accident, she told me that she had taken her
first steps that day!
I started working with Michelle in the hospital
straight away, she was keen to try anything as
she was disappointed in the way the hospital
dealt with her pain with more and more
medication, and more and more compromises
on her lifestyle.
Even though she had walked that day, it was
very difficult for her to control any of the
muscles in her legs and hold herself up, Her
feet and toes felt like they were blown up like
balloons. She had been getting headaches
since the accident, her legs and right arm had
constant tingling nerve pain, and pain in her
lower back (where her injury was) and in her
shoulders and neck.
The only way that Michelle could move her
legs was if someone was touching them. It
seemed to me that her nerves that sensed
touch were taking over for her
proprioception, if you asked her to lift her
legs off the bed she could not do it, but the
slight touch of someone’s hand and she
could lift her leg.
That first session, on the recommendation of
Danny Liddell, my teacher, I worked only
with the muscles, balancing muscles in turn
with the points we learnt all the way back in
BKP101, neuro-lymphatics, vasculars and
emotional points and some Hyperton-X on
the muscles that were jammed. I
concentrated on her feet and legs at first as
they were bothering her the most. After
balancing 3 muscles in her feet the ‘balloon’
feeling was totally gone!
I then tested her Psoas Muscles (using a
surrogate) and corrected them, after I had
done that I asked her to lift her leg.... She
looked at me like I was a crazy person and
laughed, I could tell she was thinking ‘as if I
can move my leg now after only that....’ I
asked her to at least humour me and try.
I will never forget the look on her and her
husband’s face when she lifted her legs

without anyone touching her. She was amazed
and so was I! Michelle had asked me if I could
help her to walk with her kids, and I told her I
would have her playing netball again. I didn’t
really think I could, until that exact point!
I then did a hypertonic release of Michelle’s
neck, and once again more amazement, not only
was the pain gone, so was the ‘pins and needles’
nerve pain, and as of today 6 months later the
pain and the headaches have never returned!
I went and balanced Michelle in the Spinal unit 5
more times in the 12 weeks she was there. She
was determined that she was going to walk out
of there and leave her wheelchair behind, and
she did!
Since that first balance I have been able to help
Michelle deal with her pain which has been
constantly changing as more of her muscles
were being used and strengthening, help her to
control her fine motor movements in her right
foot so that she could get her car licence back
and deal with the anger she has towards the
woman who caused her car accident.
I ran into Michelle today down the street, she
was loading her car with heavy shopping and
she told me how maybe she overdid it yesterday
carrying a 25kg drum of chlorine!!! She’s the
toughest chick I know!
Kylie Evans
Brisbane Diploma Student
Michelle after she got her licence back
“Well Done Kylie. This story is a fine example
of what you and PKP can achieve. You are
still a student and you have revived the life of
a young mother that would other wise be
stuck in a wheel chair, possibly for life. That’s
awesome.
I continually tell my students to step out of the
comfort zone and make use of these fantastic
skills that have been learnt. Thankfully, like
many other of my students, Kylie did. About a
month ago I actually met Michelle when I saw
her son. If she had not mentioned her story
and who she was I would not have known
she had a problem. It really is testament to
what a great job Kylie has done. So, to all
other PKP students, PLEASSSEEEEEE get
out there and change the world. Help people
because you can. And happily accept the
payment for it. You deserve it.
Kylie mentioned, "muscles that were
‘jammed’" . This is just an expression used to
describe when a muscle won’t pinch off. We
learn in BKP102 to pinch off the indicator
muscle at the start of a balance. Many
Kinesiologists don’t think about it after that.
Pinching off a muscle when there is a
problem in an area can make a huge
difference. Remember if the muscle doesn’t
pinch off then it is not working correctly. A
muscle must be able to lock and unlock. This
can cause all sorts of problems including
pain, lack of movement and even inability to
move a limb (muscles move the limbs).”

The first Kinesiopractic® Faculty Training Workshop (the new FAC
3) was held at Kinesiology Connection in Melbourne recently. Senior
FAC Trainer, Rowena Ritchie, co-taught with Faculty Trainer Denise
Gurney who travelled from the UK. They were assisted by FAC
Trainer Ed Faust.
The FAC 3 class, all senior practitioners and graduates of the
complete ICPKP training programme, spent a challenging ten days
(as students again) while they worked to become teachers of the
Post Graduate Diploma programme.
Rowena and Denise said that the graduate students were well
prepared for the intensive programme and everyone demonstrated
competency throughout the written, oral, practical and teaching
assessments. They can all be very proud of their success.
Kinesiopractic® Faculty Training teachers
and graduates celebrate their success in
Melbourne.

Hyperton-X is a form of Kinesiology that specialises in flexibility, learning difficulties,
emotional trauma, sports performance & injury recovery, pain relief and allergies by
releasing the excess (hyper) tension (tonic) in muscles.
All the techniques are easy to learn and even easier to us. Hyperton-X is designed for
people with no previous experience in Kinesiology or health.

The Gall Bladder Organ
The gallbladder is a thin-walled green muscular sac about
10 cm long. Roughly the size of a kiwi fruit, it snuggles in a
shallow fossa on the ventral surface of the liver. The
gallbladder stores and concentrates the bile from the liver,
which aids in digestion, particularly of fats. It contracts and
releases bile when fats reach the duodenum from the
stomach.
The gall bladder can be damage by:
Excessive amounts of fat and oil; refined,
hydrogenated and synthetic oils
Stress
The gall bladder can be protected from infections by eating:
Good quality (grape, wine or apple cider) vinegar
Pickles
Sauerkraut and other ferments
Sediment in the gallbladder can lead to infection.
Symptoms include:
Bitter taste in mouth
Chest pain
Indigestion
Periodic pain below the right side of the rib cage
Tension in the back of the shoulder near the neck
Gall Bladder Goals
Use these statements as goals to base a balance around, or an affirmation.
My gallbladder functions at optimum levels
All parts of my digestive system function at optimum levels
My body functions free from gall stones
Muscles
These muscles are on the Gall Bladder Meridian
and relate to the Gall Bladder Meridian energy
and the function of the Gall Bladder. Use these
muscles as pre-tests.
Anterior Deltoid

Reference: Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe, ICPKP practitioner Database
Emotional component
Experiencing resentment, grief about men, our
male self or achievement in the world. Feeling
irritated, depressed, indecisive, confused,
angry, sad, wounded. Thinking of yourself as
a failure, thus sabotaging any opportunity for
success. Feeling second best, neglected,
unimportant, a victim. Holding onto trauma and
pain fro the past which has created struggles,
hardship and lack in your life.
Ref: The Secret Language of your Body, Inna Segal
Gall Bladder Meridian Metaphors
How are you not digesting the heavy parts of your life
functioning?
Are you not diluting your life enough with clear water that
is bringing in the neutral parts to reduce the concentration
of dissolving or breaking aspects of your life?
Do you remain too concentrated for your own good?
The Gall Bladder Meridian

There is joyous release of the past. Life is sweet, and so am I.
Reference: Louise L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Life
The Wood Element metaphor is
symbolized by green growing natural
forms of life. The Wood Element is fed by
and springs from the Water Element,
which can be thought of in terms of water
feeding the roots of a tree, or even the
original birth of life in the ocean. The
Wood Element provides fuel for the Fire
Element, nourishing its growth. The
Wood Element controls the Earth Element
by putting roots into the ground and
holding it in place. The Wood Element is
controlled by the Metal Element because
of the powerful force Metal contains to
chop, destroy or transform.
The Gall Bladder Meridian
Element Metaphor: Wood
Do you have enough roots to sustain your
growth, and enough fuel to sustain your
passions?
How does the image of green growing things
relate to your life and your goals?
Do you have enough structure in your growth
so that you can achieve your purposes or do
you need to allow yourself more freedom in
your growth to be fulfilled?
Do you need more freedom?
