Figure 2.1 The Energetic Kinesiology modality tree. Since George Goodheart did the first kinesiology muscle test linking muscle biofeedback
to the Chinese acupressure meridian system in the mid 1960s, Energetic Kinesiology as a field has grown rapidly, with new modalities of
Energetic Kinesiology being developed over time. The modality tree we present here is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all the current
Energetic Kinesiology modalities, but rather is a selection of core Energetic Kinesiologies from which the majority of other Energetic
Kinesiology modalities originated.
