Kinesiology vs Applied Kinesiology

[rudywoofs (Pam)]

There has been some confusion about kinesiology in another thread. I was referring to "applied kinesiology."

Here is an explanation by Ed Noyes, MD, that will clarify:

Kinesiology is the science of muscle, ligament and joint relationships. A legitimate science taught in physical therapy. Applied kinesiology is a popular divination practice, actually rather stupid but it seems many are deceived by it. That may clear up the confusion.

I believe Woody was referring to the former. My apologies to Woody. It didn't occur to me that we were writing about two different things.

I appreciate the clarification. My neice has recently graduated with her Master's in Kinesiology and another study. I didn't want to ask her dad what she really was doing.

Thanx again.

I believe Woody knew this too, but just wanted to stir the pot. Right Woody?? :)

Never heard of "applied Kinesiology". All I knew was that I studied Kinesiology and it was good scientific knowledge.

Thanks for the clarification Pam
