What is K-Power®

Breakthrough discoveries in the integration of eastern and western medicine have shown us that we can attain real time feedback from the body. By testing the strength of the muscles which are powered by the energetic pathways within the body we can access this information immediately. This testing; described as “Kinesiology”, opens up a whole new approach to working with the whole person.

By having immediate feedback from the body, the K-Power® practitioner/trainer has powerful tools at his disposal to create balance within the body. Once structural, emotional and nutritional balance is attained, the natural healing energies of the body are free to work unimpeded.

K-Power® classes bring these amazing techniques in a condensed, targeted format to healthcare providers and laypersons alike. K-Power® Global Health and Fitness, in association with PKP International, is pleased to announce the launch of Dr. Bruce and Joan Dewe's K-Power® workshop series. After several years of writing, editing and running test workshops, the K-Power® series is now available.

Manual Therapists Series

This is a series of Professional Development Workshops for manual therapists and body workers, who want some kinesiology muscle testing knowledge to apply to their own specialty. Whether you are a chiropractor, osteopath, physical/occupational/massage therapist, or athletic trainer, the K-Power® for Manual Therapists series will teach you powerful tools that you can use immediately in practice.

5-Element Fundamentals and Muscle Testing Basics for Manual Therapists
This workshop contains K-Power®’s basic toolbox. These five foundation skills enable you to apply muscle-testing knowledge to your specialty area. In K-Power® we use muscles as indicators in much the same way that an electrician uses a multimeter. The accurate feedback the body gives through detecting muscular imbalances enables us to detect the source of energy imbalance in the body and whether theyare, for example, structural, chemical, nutritional or emotional.
Learn about:

the fundamental concepts of Five-Element theory, the ‘great-8’ muscles;
the CV and GV energy reservoirs;
six basic balancers – neuro lymphatic, neuro emotional, neuro vascular, meridians, nutrition and accumulation points;
four fundamental techniques - ESR, origin and insertion, spindles, golgi; and
circuit locating and how to shift blocked energy using a powerful goal-oriented balancing process.

Prerequisite: None. This class is similar enough to the other 5-Element class from the Mind & Body series. If a person takes both, the price is half price on the second of the two classes.

Core Muscles and Techniques
When the core muscles are weak or not in balance a common side effect is back pain. People in the gym who work their rectus abdominis with crunches but fail to strengthen their transverse abdominals commonly experience lower back pain. Back pain is common because so many muscles have to contract and relax to allow a person to stand and move.
The main objective of this workshop is to learn three prime techniques that you can apply to every muscle you test in the future. As well as developing skill and understanding in evaluating and balancing muscle energy imbalances in the 13 core muscles of the torso, you will learn core techniques like muscle stretch response, sustained muscle use, hidden muscle failure. Having learned the 13 core muscles and applied the three core techniques, you will learn the More Mode, surrogate muscles, the circuit retaining mode, the important principle of muscle reactivity and how to correct reactive muscles.

Mind Body Series

This series of workshops, designed for both lay-persons and professionals, teach stress management skills which can be used for the benefit of the individual, family members, friends and clients.

Stress Management & Instinctual Behavioral Series

Stress levels are at all time highs. Whether you are a psychologist, counselor, therapist, pastor or layperson you are aware of the damaging effects of emotional stress.

This workshop is concerned with sharing ways to increase your stress tolerance, renew your depleted resources for resisting stress and learning new skills for managing stress. Prerequisite: None

Mastery of Emotional Stress Release
Frontal/occipital holding is a powerful kinesiology stress release technique. Some Kinesiologists claim this alone relieves mental and emotional stress.

Go beyond the F/O hold with K-Power® Mastery of Emotional Stress Release. Develop further understanding and skills to assist clients to find new resources, see new possibilities, use their senses and intuition, state what they are feeling, want and are willing to do to achieve this, with or without the use of imagery, symbolic encapsulation and picture frame, active listening or role play. Assist clients defuse stress related to (but not limited to) challenges to their authority and terminating relationships and use the hypothesis of an older, wiser self.
A total of 20 emotional stress diffusion techniques packaged in a two-day, hands-on, interpersonal, experiential intensive that will make a positive difference in the way you work with clients. Prerequisite: Stress Release made easy or any Kinesiology training in muscle testing and ESR. (TFH 1)

Tibetan Energy and Vitality
Clients often want to improve their energy level to help them look and feel better. Low energy, fatigue, pain and loss of motivation are all signs that the body is functioning at less than its best.
The Tibetan Energy and Vitality workshop was designed by Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe to teach easy, practical stress management techniques.“We seek to empower people - to give them tools, fresh hope and to show them ways to move ahead out of their present situations, whether it be pain, dysfunction, overwhelm, weariness, fatigue, frustration or apparent hopelessness.” The workshop teaches a number of techniques originally developed by the people of Tibet to aid healing and improve energy and vitality.
