What Is Anxiety?

Kinesiology For Anxiety In Ivanhoe - Melbourne

Anxiety is the body’s physical response to a threat or a perceived threat. It can be normal to experience anxiety when we are in a high stress or high-pressure situation and once the scenario has resolved, your body should be able to return to feeling balanced again. Anxiety becomes a problem when these feelings of anxiety do not subside, become excessive, all-consuming, or are interfering in daily life without any obvious trigger or cause.

One quarter of Australians will experience an anxiety condition in their lifetime according to Beyond Blue. There can be many causes of anxiety; it can come from stressful life changes or events, traumatic experiences, diet, biochemistry, hormones, or genetics, to name a few. There are many causes, and it is often a combination of many factors. It is commonly regarded that one of the most significant contributing factors is the nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system is what produces your fight-or-flight response, which is designed to help you respond to danger. When you are under stress or are anxious, this system kicks into action, and for those with anxiety, this system is often not switching back off. The fight/flight response triggers many biochemical processes in the body, releasing stress hormones. These cause many physical symptoms like shakiness, racing heart, feeling hot or faint, tightness of the chest, nausea and many more. The biochemical response also impacts our memory, concentration, ability to focus, and can cause obsessive thoughts. Snowballing these effects, failing to calm the mind can often cause insomnia. The symptoms of anxiety are broad and can be debilitating.

& How Kinesiology Can Help

Kinesiology has many techniques that help support the nervous system and to encourage it to reset by regulating our sense of danger, and allowing our body to feel and know that we are safe. Despite many people experiencing anxiety, it is common to be unable to identify the specific source. Kinesiology is designed to help identify these underlying causes to assist in uncovering the reason behind our anxious state or how we developed the anxiety in the first place. This allows us to unravel any patterns and release subconscious connections and blocks to let go of stress and stressful events.

There are many different methods of treatment for anxiety and Kinesiology allows a tailor-made approach unique to your symptoms. A combination of different holistic techniques are used alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine to create an individualised method, directed by your body through muscle testing. Through this methodology, Kinesiology becomes a powerful tool in helping to process and release feelings of anxiety.  

By targeting the root cause of anxiety, we are able to support big shifts in our stress response and help to support the body in experiencing a sustained sense of ease.
