About Dr. Jay

Dr. Jay Sandweiss has been teaching manual muscle testing and Applied Kinesiology techniques since 1979. He became a patient of the late, great George Goodheart Jr., the founder of Applied Kinesiology in 1978. Dr. Goodheart quickly diagnosed and successfully treated Jay’s chronic knee problem that had been refractory to other interventions. That experience inspired him to pursue a career in the healing arts which began with Touch For Health instructor training in 1979. Dr. Sandweiss continued to study directly with Dr. Goodheart at his office and at numerous workshops until Dr. Goodheart’s passing. In 1982, Dr. Jay completed the 100 hour Applied Kinesiology course taught by Drs. Goodheart and the late, great Walter Schmitt D.C., former associate of Dr. Goodheart and founder of Functional Neurology. For over 45 years, Dr. Sandweiss has continued to practice and teach the benefits of Applied Kinesiology to countless health professionals.

In his private practice he integrates Applied Kinesiology with: OMM, Medical Acupuncture, Functional Medicine, and an eclectic array of other modalities.

Workshop Description

Applied Kinesiology is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment that utilizes manual muscle testing to determine the underlying factors responsible for somatic dysfunctions. Each muscle in the body has been correlated with a specific organ or gland, acupuncture meridian, Chapman's reflex, Bennett's reflex, nutritional need, cranial stress receptor, or other significant treatment modality. A protocol is taught that systematically seeks out the specific therapies needed by the patient to achieve a healing response.

Applied Kinesiology began over 60 years ago and has continued to evolve as a powerful force in the healing arts. The founder, Dr. George Goodheart, Jr., expanded upon classic viscero-somatic concepts to include the major muscles of the body in addition to traditional neuro-anatomical spinal-level relationships.

The benefits of learning Applied Kinesiology are numerous. First, students learn to artfully test all of the major muscle groups in the body. This helps find specific inhibition patterns underlying patient complaints (e.g. shoulder, knee and back complaints). On the more advanced level, the Applied Kinesiologist acquires a powerful algorithm for working through patient presentations. This algorithm integrates novel concepts of holographic neurology with the treatment techniques of numerous other healing arts. Applied Kinesiology is quite helpful in working with chronic and recurrent somatic dysfunctions.
