Applied Kinesiology in Scottsdale, Muscle Testing That Finds the Root Cause
At AZMulticare in Scottsdale, Dr. Jeffrey Robinson uses Applied Kinesiology (AK), a hands-on muscle-testing assessment, to read your body’s structural, chemical and emotional signals and trace symptoms back to their source. Treating a symptom is common; finding out why it started is rarer. In an AK plan, every adjustment, supplement and therapy has to earn its place with a testable reason behind it.

What Is Applied Kinesiology, and Why It Reads the Whole Body
Applied Kinesiology is a holistic approach that integrates principles from chiropractic care, manual muscle testing and energy balancing. At AZMulticare, Dr. Jeff Robinson uses AK to assess and improve your body’s structural, chemical and emotional well-being, and, just as importantly, how those three systems interact.
That matters because symptoms rarely respect neat boundaries. A stubborn problem can have a structural trigger in the spine, a chemical one in digestion and nutrition, or an emotional one in chronic stress. AK gives Dr. Robinson immediate, hands-on feedback about which system is driving your complaint, so care targets the driver rather than the symptom. It shares roots with chiropractic care but reaches further, and it is gentle enough for patients of every age. Because the feedback is immediate, the exam doubles as a map. It shows what to treat first, and how to know the correction worked.
Dr. Robinson’s practice is built around cases that resist easy labels. People commonly bring to Applied Kinesiology:
- Chronic conditions that never fully resolved: many patients report improvements through AK treatment
- Autoimmune and inflammatory illness such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-infectious and toxin-driven cases such as Lyme disease and mold-toxin illness
- Complex, multi-system disorders including MS, fibromyalgia and colitis
- Recovery from serious illness, including cancer, with comprehensive whole-person care
By addressing structural, chemical and emotional factors, AK promotes overall well-being and aims to enhance the body's natural healing abilities.
How Does Applied Kinesiology Work?
The exam itself is hands-on and painless. Dr. Robinson applies gentle pressure to specific muscles and reads the strength of each response. A muscle that tests weak or uneven is a signal. It points to an imbalance or area of dysfunction elsewhere in the body, sometimes far from where you feel the pain.
Once those patterns surface, he layers in your clinical history and integrative nutritional medicine to complete the picture. Treatment then restores balance with targeted techniques, and the muscles are retested to confirm the change actually held.
- Gentle pressure applied to key muscles to evaluate strength
- Weak or uneven responses mapped to imbalances and dysfunction
- Three-system reading across structural, chemical and emotional health
- History and nutrition layered in for a complete clinical picture
- Targeted correction, then retest so progress is measured, not assumed

Book a Consultation
AK consultations at AZMulticare are available the same day when the schedule allows. Tell Dr. Robinson what you’ve been dealing with and what you want back. His starting point is the whole story, not just the complaint.
Exam + Muscle Testing
A thorough clinical history, then hands-on Applied Kinesiology testing, gentle pressure on specific muscles to map weaknesses and imbalances across your body’s systems.
A Personalized Plan
Findings are translated into a plan built for you, adjustments, nutritional support or other therapies, each chosen for a reason.
Treatment + Retest
Care usually begins on the spot, and muscles are retested as treatment progresses, so frequency and technique are dosed to your actual response, not a fixed package.
