Kinesiology Courses & Instructors

Since the pioneering days of Kinesiology in the 70's and 80's many different modalities or types of Kinesiology have sprung up all over the world. This has been particularly the case in Australia, as here, there was a significant hotbed of Kinesiology development and research in the 80's and 90's that was recognised worldwide. To read more on the history and development of Kinesiology in Australia please feel free to read this paper: H&D of Kinesiology in Oz (2018).

By the end of the 90's Kinesiology Colleges began to appear which changed the landscape of Kinesiology. Consequently this Kinesiology Course section lists different kinesiology modalities and thier instructors, and separately, the different colleges,

If you are interested learning Kinesiology and/or are very new to the field please read our 'What is Kinesiology' section and look at our 'resources' section and contact any personnel below and ask questions.

Touch For Health

Touch for Health (TFH) is internationally recognised as fundamental training for kinesiology. Introduced in the early 1970s by John Thie D.C., TFH has been taught to millions of people and has played a significant role in pioneering the growth and development of Kinesiology worldwide.

Using muscle testing, benefits are attained by balancing acupuncture meridian energy, identifying foods that raise the body's energy, reducing stress and pain, enhancing physical performance, improving vision, sensory input and brain function, and by improving posture, co-ordination and learning difficulties.

The sixty hour course, usually taught in four easy and relaxed learning modules are offered by Registered TFH Instructors.

Neuro-Linguistic Kinesiology (NLK)           Back to Top
Developed by Wendy Bennett, NLK aims to include aspects commonly used by all kinesiologists and the approach of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLPTM). NLK focuses on assisting a person to become aware of the changes they require in a very measurable and specific way. Like all kinesiologies NLK uses meridian therapy, acupressure, bodywork, stress release techniques and visualisation. It is a way of improving performance in any area and is supported by a programme which can be used at home, at work or in the classroom effectively and easily. It is easy to learn and the programme is a dynamic personal development experience as well as a way of qualifying as a kinesiology practitioner or NLK trainer.
