How to measure muscle strength

In July 2008, the British Medical Journal published a landmark study which established an association between muscle strength and mortality unrelated to fitness or exercise levels. You can see the study here: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/337/jul01_2/a439

As I was setting up a new practice a year later, I decided to replicate their protocols to measure muscle strength.

What they did to measure muscle strength was to measure muscle mass and then get people to do a one rep maximum lift with bench press and leg press. By adding the two lifts together and dividing my muscle mass, they could compare the maximum lift capacity of men of different sizes and weights.

So that is exactly what I did, using a Bioscan 916 from Maltron, I can measure muscle mass accurately, and then I measure a one rep maximum bench press.  I found, however that the leg press was difficult because so much depended on the angle of the knee at the start of the test, so I used a deadlift instead. I figure with those two tests, I am using most of the body’s muscle mass.

Here is how it works:

The results have been fascinating

For men I get a range of between 1 and 6. To be competitive, athletes need to be above 5. Anyone below 3.3 is in the lowest quarter of my population and is usually well below par healthwise.

For women the lowest quarter is below 2.

I am pleased that every patient in the lowest quarter I have been able to lift out of the danger zone. The average increase in strength for those in the lowest quarter is 64%.

The average increase for those in the middle range is 17% and the average for the top range is 10%.  These increases are an average for everyone who I have re-tested, which is not a majority but neither are they selected.

A Chiropractic Subluxation

In Chiropractic, a subluxation is not a fixation, or a bone out of place. To be classed as a subluxation, it must have an element of nerve interference. Too often this is simply inferred, but in this video, it’s obvious. Far from a “historical concept” the way the GCC claims, this video shows that it is real, demonstrable and treatable by a chiropractic adjustment.

Twice the range of motion

Proprioception is a powerful ally in improving flexibility and strength. In this video, a 65 year old man demonstrates how he doubled his flexibility and increased his strength (after 10 years of yoga) in just one month, simply by removing his metal crowns.

Finding food intolerance using muscle testing

You might not believe this video, but it was taken exactly as you see it with 4 or 5 witnesses.

Digestive problems are extremely common and although there are many “guidelines” a science based on averages can never determine what is going to be right for every person. Indeed, people’s needs may change in time.

This woman had just come out of a 1 week stay in hospital for pancreatitis and cholecystitis after a long history of illness. Watch what happens to her as she tastes a cereal bar.

The Nutrition modules cover the science, philosophy and art of nutrition, using the unique power of afferent input (taste) and it’s effects on muscle tone to help you solve even the most difficult of nutritional or metabolic problems.

Why don’t some injuries heal?

Some injuries just don’t seem to heal no matter what treatment or therapy is used. This woman suffered for 12 years with low back pain after a whiplash injury. Turns out, the injury wasn’t the reason she didn’t get better …..

2 years later ….

“I’m not crying every day.” Karen Robinson is a 38 year-old housewife from Stockport in Cheshire. “13 years ago, I had a car accident where I apparently suffered whiplash. As a result, I suffered acute back problems, culminating in me slipping two discs when I fell down the stairs. I spent thousands of pounds – reflexology, Chinese homeopathy… I just wanted to find something that worked! My local chiropractor thought it might be linked to my crown (the same year as my accident, I’d had a metal crown put in) and put me in touch with Simon. I can remember my husband saying at the time – what have you been told now! So we both went and visited  Simon in Berkhamsted, and Simon asked me to do the dumbbell test, where he asked me to lift a dumbbell with my left and then my right hand. My right hand just wouldn’t move – until he told me to cover my crown, and then yes, I could move it! On Simon’s advice, I had the crown removed and replaced with a non-metal version. I can honestly say that my back has improved ten-fold, instantly my strength came back… I’m no longer on tablets every day and I’m not crying every day.”

How Reflexology Really Works

Many people think reflexology is to do with energies or body maps. Whenever pressure or stretch is introduced, the body will react by changing muscle tone. This in itself is therapeutic.
In this patient, I choose a random point first (as a placebo intervention) and then I press the Heart alarm point. There is obviously a difference in the body’s reaction to properly placed pressure and the abductors are now facilitated.
