What happens during a kinesiology session?

Does kinesiology really work?

However, there's little compelling evidence to support such claims, including those for any benefit for anxiety and other mental health concerns.
What is kinesiology in simple words?
kī-, -zē- : the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement.
How is kinesiology performed?
The basic principle of kinesiology-style muscle testing is that when there's some stress or abnormal nervous system input to a muscle, it weakens. During a muscle test, a practitioner applies a force to one muscle or group of muscles, with a particular intent in mind.
