A charitably supported voluntary organisation. Helping people through combining the use of sound and music for therapy, through hi-tech means, with kinesiology.

Gordon Dalgarno trained in Kinesiology with Pam Bracken, of the Northern School of Kinesiology. This is affiliated to “The International Guild of Professional Practitioners” who also validate the courses.
He has worked for many years on the therapeutic use of sound and music at Keele University, with professor John Sloboda. .He uses computer analysis of the client’s voice to gain extra information on the client’s health, and may use specific sound and music therapeutically to a greater extent then most practitioners of kinesiology.

Suggested donations for treatment are £30 for a 50 minute session, or £45 for 1½ hours.
If you cannot afford these donations pleased discuss - we will never decline to help if in need".  "If you can afford more please give - it will help us to help more diadvantaged people.".


  We can help with:-

• Allergies and Food Sensitivities

• Finding Vitamins, Minerals and Food Supplements you may need.

• Emotional Problems, Stress & Phobias.

• Arthritis, Sinusitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Migraines, Indigestion and many other ailments.

• For the maintenance of good heath – prevention is far better then cure. You don’t need to be ill to give you health a treat by coming for a treatment!

Kinesiology is a very powerful, modern form of complementary medicine. In combines ancient knowledge from traditional Chinese medicine with knowledge from chiropractic and from original research. Dating for the sixties, it is becoming more widely known and is now used in most counties in the world.

Practitioners and teachers of other forms of complementary therapy such as the well known aromatherapy and reflexology say that kinesiology is a much more powerful therapy – and they are unbiased and in a position to make this judgement.

Foods, supplements, etc you need and don’t need.

The human body is wonderful at healing itself, given:-

(a) The raw materials it needs:-

Your health can be affected by minerals and vitamins you do need and which you are not getting enough of. Its all too easy to waste your money in buying vitamins etc you don’t need, and which may not even be good for you!

(b) Freedom from foods and other materials it does not want.

Equally your health can be seriously adversely affected by eating foods or coming into contact with materials you are sensitive to – you need not be actually allergic to them..

Kinesiology enables you to find both of these. Many believe that it is more reliable than expensive machines.

Other areas

Kinesiology is not just about testing materials: it is a complete system for holistic health.

By gentle muscle testing, we can obtain information about the meridians and the related organs, giving information about what is going on inside the body in a completely non invasive way. We then work to bring about the right conditions for the body to heal itself.

Treatment may involve any of the following:-

Massaging specific neuro-lymphatic areas, holding neuro-vascular points, pressing acupuncture points gently, advising you which foods or other materials to avoid, advising you of food supplements or other materials to take, the balancing of your meridians. It may also involve the use of colour, specific sounds, and music.

Kinesiology – the background

Kinesiology was developed in the sixties by a chiropractor, Dr George Goodhart, DC. It was then further developed into a system which could be used by practitioners who were not chiropractors or osteopaths, by another chiropractor, Dr John Thie, DC Since then it has been developed enormously, particularly by the famous osteopath, Chapman, and by Dr Bennet, and later, by the well known kinesiologist Sheldon Deal.

  Therapy with music is well established. However, I believe there are several ways it can be made more efficient and effective. I have been researching this, working with Professor John Sloboda, for 6 years at Keele University.

Kinesiology also uses sound and music and many practitioners believe that sound/music priorities over all other form of intervention, yet few practitioners actually use it very extensively. To be truly effective, and to give more lasting benefit, I believe you need more than just the right notes, you need the notes at very precise pitches.

This correlates with my belief about therapy with music – I believe everyone (whether they know it or not) has their own key in music, and hence, as well as choosing the right piece of music for a therapeutic effect on the client (difficult !!) one needs to transpose the piece into the clients own key. But that is not all. I also believe that each person, again whether they know it or not, has their own fine pitch. Hence one person might respond the note A tuned to 444Hz and another to 432 Hz.

How can one find the key and the pitch? One way a number of colleagues and myself have been researching is to ask the client to speak into a microphone and analyse the voice by advanced computer software. By this means we are also finding that we can gain valuable information about the person’s state of health, and how they might effectively be helped . This analysis can give the approximate key and pitch but it is possible to refine it further by methods which I need to keep confidential for the moment. The consensus of our colleagues belief is that the frequencies need to be precise to 1 part in 500 to be truly effective.

In addition to that, it is my belief that to be truly effective, music should be experienced through the whole body, not just through the ears. However, not by going to discos and listening at volume levels of 110 dB ! Doing that unquestionably damages the ears if exposure is repeated. We have developed a special chair and a special couch which plays music into the whole body, through vibroacoustic transducers. Music is then felt strongly in the body without it being too loud at the ears.

Is all this new? Certainly not! To our great delight we have discovered that closely similar methods have been used in Tibet and in India for many, many years. OK not with computers and electronics – but with the same end result for the client. Clearly it takes enormous talent, and given that, goodness knows how many years of training, to be able to analyse a client voice just with the ear/brain and then to establish the notes required.. This was done on a solid table on which the client lies, and which has heavy strings set underneath. These strings were tunes to the individual notes for the client, and the “practitioner” then played a tune on these strings, so that the client both heard it though the ears and felt it through the whole body.

With kinesiology, we find that clients often need nutritional support: food supplements, mineral, vitamins and so forth, and I don’t see how sound and music can ever replace these – though it can make their utilisation by the body more efficient, i.e. a smaller quantity could be just as effective when combined with the right sounds. This could be important.

I would very much welcome contacts from other therapist interested in developing this field. Working together would speed things along for us all in developing the very best methods to help clients.

Because this field of work is still under development, and I cannot be sure of helping people with it, for the time being (June 2004) I am offering sessions free of charge if the client will give useful feedback on the results.

  Reiki uses universal healing energies. Neither the practitioner nor the client need have any religious or other belief system. What your religion, if any, is, or what you believe, makes no difference so long as you approach it with an open mind and an open heart.

While I can do Reiki sessions on their own if requested, I feel that, in my practice, Reiki is more effective when combined with one the other methods listed above. Further, when combined in the way I make no extra charge for Reiki healing.

  Many people nowadays suffer from stress, emotional problems and phobias, but much can be done to relieve these with Kinesiology and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique – which is a specialised branch of Kinesiology).

Some examples are:- fear of unfamiliar towns, fear of air travel, of mice, spiders, heights.

Sometimes considerable relief is possible in only 20 minutes.

Deep seated problems and traumas.

Even deep seated problems like abuse have been known to be relieved in just a few sessions – and with little intrusion or the trauma of re-living experiences.

Compare this with going perhaps weekly for various forms of psychotherapy perhaps for 18 months, and with the pain of talking about the experience in detail and perhaps have to re-live it a number of times. EFT does not always work of course – but it usually does - and when it works it is quick and with little emotional pain.
