The practitioner employs a simple strength resistance test or Muscle Response Test (MRT) on a specific indicator
muscle while simultaneously touching organ, nerve or glandular reflex points similar to acupuncture points. If there is a health imbalance or something wrong in any of these areas, messages through the nervous system are translated to the indicator muscle causing substantial weakness and an inability to resist. When a weakness occurs in the indicator muscle in conjunction with the reflex point, then six different modes are tested which indicate what components are leading to the imbalance. These modes are structural/structural referral, chemical, emotional, organ referral, deep tissue and tensegrity. When testing for a chemical component, several elements can be detected, like specific vitamin/mineral deficiency, microbes (virus, bacteria, yeast, parasites), heavy metal toxicity, food toxicity, acidity, deficient enzyme activity, inflammation and hormonal influence.
For example: Clara's Case
Clara complained of intense pain she had across the top of her shoulders (where most of us hold tension).
She reported no injury to either shoulder but the pain, which she had for 2 years, became so bad that it now interfered with her tennis game. When we tested her with MRT we found that there were several
components at the root cause of her pain.
The components were:
1) structural referral; when traced - indicated the referral was coming from a rib being slightly out of place.
2) chemical; indicating a calcium/magnesium deficiency, heavy metal toxicity, food sensitivity,
lactic acid buildup, and parasites.
3) organ referral; when traced - indicated the referral was coming from her liver
When we test her liver, we found the indication of a sluggish phase in normal detoxification and
the presence of parasites.
Through MRT we found the root cause of her pain. Her rib was aligned, we tested for food sensitivities and eliminated those foods from her diet temporarily, we tested for the specific heavy metal indicated and chelated the metal from her body, we added a specialized easily digestable and absorbable form of calcium/magnesium complex to her diet, we supported the liver in detoxification with herbs and specialized pharmaceutical grade nutrients, and we place her on an herbal formula to rid the body of parasites.
Clara noted an improvement within a week of starting the recommended course of treatment. After just three weeks Clara noted a marked improvement, and after a total of five weeks she claimed she was virtually pain free except for minor tension related to a particularly stressful day.
Clara had been seen by other health providers for this condition in which she was given muscle relaxants,
referred to massage therapy and had some acupuncture. These methods gave Clara some partial relief, but did not actually address the underlying root cause. It was only through specific MRT that the root causes were even identified.
By identifying the root cause, we then know the course of action to take in supporting the healing process and balancing the system which in turn eliminates symptoms.
MRT and Injuries
MRT can identify a number of factors that may influence and delay the healing process.
MRT can be utilized directly at the injury site to determine which tissues are specifically
involved, for example: bone, muscle, ligament, tendon, cartilage and nerve, and which
components may be effecting the injury and the healing process. With correct
identification, appropriate treatment can be employed.

MRT as Prevention
MRT can identify current weakness in joints, connective tissue, structural imbalances and the incorrect use of muscles and muscle compensations. By identifying and correcting these imbalances, an "injury waiting to happen" can usually be prevented. Not only will this help the athlete in prevention, but by employing correction techniques, will often help the athlete to improve their game.
