I am not clear on the terms ‘muscle testing’ and ‘kinesiology’. Are they the same thing?

All muscle testing is kinesiology, but not all kinesiology is muscle testing. Kinesiology is the study of movement. There are two primary categories, or distinctions. Kinesiology is the study of the physical movement of the human body. Specialized Kinesiology refers to the study of the movement of energy and information within the human bodymind complex. Specialized kinesiology always involves some type of muscle testing. This concept is further explained here.
