Personal muscle of the week...
One of my go-to muscles to check when there is back pain is the Quadratus Lumborum (see below). It is associated with the Large Intestine meridian.
The muscle check is fairly straight forward- and often very clear with it's "I can hold" vs "Nope no chance" response.
If the latter, this leads to a world of exploration of metaphors such as "Can you bend like a reed in the wind, flexible yet rooted?" "What are you holding on to that is no longer serving you?" and "Have you got all the 'gold nuggets' from a sh**ty situation so you can fully let go?".

Talking therapies when we are in stress, anxiety or dsyregulation, really are not the best thing.
Body awarness and coregulation is the key. Creative Kinesiology is wonderful for this.
Not just for kids.

A Wood element muscle, that associates with the Gall Bladder meridian.
The Popliteus muscle in the leg is used for unlocking the knees when walking, when sitting down and standing up. It is the only muscle in the back compartment of the lower leg that acts just on the knee and not on the ankle.
In a kinesiology session, this is one of my go-to muscles if there is knee pain, and/or difficulty for the person in making decisions.

Personal post:
A snapshot of life as a SEN parent-carer (a time and energy consuming role in my life)

Here I sit, in the car park of my adult sons' specialist college.
After 4 years of no exams he has decided he wants to complete his full suite of gcses.
The support he requires to reach this goal is beyond what most people could possibly comprehend.

And here I sit, it might be for 10 minutes, it might be for 2 hours. (The exam was due to be yesterday, but he froze on the stairs on the way out of the door, luckily his college had a plan b).

I try not to bang out about this very personal part of my world, however many of my clients and students have similar issues running in their lives. And they don't have the platform that I have.

The point of this share is to promote understanding, kindness and unity.
We never know what people have going on, boundaries are of course necessary, tho big hearted ways are what will change the world.

Love and solidarity to the parent-carers, the unseen workforce that keeps our world turning for many in our communities.

Love SJ❤️‍🔥

"We’re often told to seek balance. But I don’t think balance means calm neutrality, or avoiding emotional extremes. To me, balance is the ability to stay grounded while being stretched. To remember joy even in sorrow. To hold stillness even when life is loud. To feel everything—and not shut down. Wisdom isn’t the absence of intensity. It’s the willingness to stay with whatever life brings—and keep walking."

~ Tony Collins, from the article "Finding Balance Through the Full Spectrum of Emotion" at

Every one of us moves along the same emotional spectrum—back and forth, over and over again—throughout our lives.

Beautiful sentiment about the wonderful modality that is Creative Kinesiology.

"Creative Kinesiology gave me a way back to my body, a way to truly listen, learn, and witness myself with compassion. It taught me to build trust again, to understand what was happening beneath the surface of symptoms and suffering.

Through this work, I’ve learned how to change my story while honouring the past that brought me here. It’s allowed me to weave together the things I love like energy tools, ancestral work, and the magic of tracking, which is the heart of Creative Kinesiology. And that magic! those beautiful “aha” moments when something hidden suddenly comes into view, when a switch flicks on in a moment of confirmation and everything finally makes sense… that’s where transformation begins.

To me, Creative Kinesiology is a gateway into deeper healing, one that weaves together science and energy, the conscious and the unconscious, giving more than just the mind a voice. It invites the whole self to speak, body, heart, and spirit.

In kinesiology, we have the privilege of walking alongside people on their healing journeys, however that may look for them. We support and empower them to rebuild trust with their bodies, to reconnect the parts of themselves that have been forgotten or disconnected. At the heart of this work lies passion, compassion, respect, and patience all of which are met with pace. It’s about creating a space of stillness and safety where truth can be heard gently, and often in subtle ways. And it’s about having the courage to receive that truth, so we can move forwards, thrive, and rediscover health and vitality.

For me, Creative Kinesiology has been far more than just a modality. It’s been a community, a place of belonging and understanding. It’s where I finally felt heard after years of misdiagnosis, judgment, and searching for answers. It gave me tools to return to presence, to learn to listen to the whispers of my body before they became shouts.

More than anything It’s built confidence in who I am, trust in my own inner knowing, a knowing that had been shut down for so long. It’s lit a spark that keeps growing the more I journey with this work and the layers it allows me to reach. It’s given voice to the part of me that always knew healing was possible, even when Western medicine told me it was unattainable and I’d just have to live with it. Through this work, I’ve learned not just to survive, but to thrive and to truly enjoy life again. And thats what I love about practicing this work and supporting others to find that magic too."

The quadriceps in kinesiology are the muscles that relate to the balance of the small intestine meridian.
This is the muscle that helps us step up, or pace ourselves so we don’t overstep.
It makes sure we can raise up from being seated.
If there is a weakness in this area or a profusion of indigestion/ colic then rub the bottom edge of the rib cage all along from side of sternum to waist.
Food intolerances may be operating if this muscle is challenged.

Today is world menopause day. Such an important part of half the populations life. It's starting to get more understanding and consideration, slowly.
For me personally it is being quite the journey (edging in to full menopause).
For my clients it is a time of reclaimation, confusion, riteous rage, resentment, deep healing, empowerment.
Often the phrases that come are 'what the hell have i been doing with my life', 'enough of this shxt', 'Right! My time!'

As the 'oestrogen box' falls away, so all that has been comes into clearer relief. Tricky, and ultimately very very healing.
My Medicine teacher and wise elder speaks of this being the time the woman turns to face the community with all she has learnt, and fiercely contributes. A strong time for her to be supported in her wider endeavours (and yes this would also be great in all stages of life).

The thing I know from clinic (and personally) is that we MUST go into this phase with balanced, happy, adrenal glands.
Compromised adrenals cannot produce the back up oestrogen that can help smooth the changes out a little.

Personally this has meant
1. Prioritising sleep (as a parent carer of an often insomniac autistic young adult this has been a real edge)
2. Napping, especially when feeling overwhelmed (quite a rewrite for me)
3. Eating tonnes of fresh veg and fruit, and small amounts of local grass fed meat (apologies to those who don't agree regards eating animals)
4. Feeling into a slower way. This means disappointing people who would like quick answers and immediate replies to things. When I do go down the 'quick route' I often come across as arsey and confrontational!
5. Being a whole lot kinder to myself regards my capacity (a work in progress....)
6. A deepening sense of humour. Becoming a senior kinesiology practitioner and teacher of over 20 years experience, while far too regularly forgetting the names of muscles, meridians, systems, is deeply disturbing, humbling, and in my wiser moments...hilarious!
7..Realising the things that used to work, may not now. Being curious about my body wisdom, being open to new things, letting things go.
And lastly
8. BOUNDARIES. Having been a bit rubbish with these for most of my life, the fury that comes these days when my boundary is crossed is seriously intense. And not pretty for anyone. Getting clearer about what they are, and communicating them well in advance is crucial. Sticking to them is very much still a work in progress.

Meridian wise, the places to start are the Triple Warmer and the Heart protector. Tho to be honest *every part* of our being is affected.

I hope these reflections may be of use. Let's really bring these conversations up.

With love, and fire, SJ ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

In kinesiology the Anterior Serratus muscle check relates to your ability to 'reach for the stars'. It shoes how the lung meridian is doing, one of the Metal element Meridians associated with Autumn.
This meridian replenishes us with life giving chi from the heavens. It’s peak activity time of 3-5am has inspired people for millenia to connect to something bigger than them through meditation or prayer before they begin their day.

In kinesiology we see it holds the issues of self-confidence, values, self-worth and beliefs.
