Manual Muscle Testing

Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is a gentle assessment tool used to evaluate how the nervous system is communicating with specific muscles. It is not a test of strength, but rather a way of observing neurological function and stress responses within the body.

During testing, light pressure is applied to a muscle while you hold it in a specific position. The practitioner assesses how the muscle responds. Changes in response may indicate structural imbalance, emotional stress, or biochemical factors influencing the nervous system.

Because muscles are controlled by the brain and spinal cord, they can reflect how well the body is adapting to stress. Manual Muscle Testing helps identify areas that may require support or correction.

At Domain Mind Body, MMT forms part of a comprehensive assessment process, guiding precise, personalised care focused on addressing underlying causes rather than simply managing symptoms.
