Applied Kinesiology Research, Books, Literature and Goodheart Bibliography

Dr. George Goodheart, developer of "Applied Kinesiology", was the keynote speaker at SOTO-USA's 1st Clinical Symposium in Chicago in August 24-27,2000. In his featured address he gave many personal accounts of his association with Dr. DeJarnette, the originator of SOT. Without a doubt Dr. Goodheart's unassuming, humble manner and generosity exemplify what it means to be a doctor, teacher and healer. Since many aspects of Applied Kinesiology (AK) incorporate sacro occipital techniques (SOT) and principles of Dr. DeJarnette, much of AK's research and literature overlaps that of SOT.

AK was developed by Dr. George Goodheart of Detroit, Michigan in the 1960's. Dr. Goodheart found that evaluation of normal and abnormal body function could be accomplished by using muscle tests. Since the original discovery, the principle has broadened to include evaluation of the nervous, vascular, and lymphatic systems, nutrition, acupuncture, and cerebrospinal fluid function.

The following articles and information has been compiled by the tireless effort and work of Dr. Scott Cuthbert.
