The Principles course teaches entry-level students the fundamental tools, techniques and concepts that form the basis of all modern Kinesiology. Discoveries made back in the 1960s, connecting the Chinese Meridian System and Western understanding of anatomy and physiology, allowed new healing and therapeutic applications to emerge. You will learn the science and magic behind this fast-growing natural therapy. Whether you wish to help out family and friends, are considering a career in Kinesiology, or simply just curious to learn, the Principles course is where everybody’s journey begins.

There is no pre-requisite for the Principles course. This is an entry-level course, designed for students new to kinesiology.

Course enrolment process is on a first-come-first-served basis, subject to fulfillment of course enrolment rules and availability of quotas.

Please refer to the enrolment form for details.

Is there any pre-reading or preparation to do?

No. It is assumed that any students joining the Principles course, have no experience or knowledge in Kinesiology. Kinesiology is a practical skill and the workshops will be very hands on.

What happens if I can’t make a day?

The course builds sequentially on what was covered the previous day. Ideally, students would be expected to attend each of the eight days. The course is fastpaced and covers a lot of ground quickly, so you would want to give yourself the best chance of getting the most from it.

What will I be able to do after the Principles course?

The course will give you basic knowledge on what Kinesiology is and where it comes from. More importantly, you will have the ability to practice and apply some of the basic fundamental tools and techniques behind this exciting modality. You will come to understand the unique relationship between specific muscles, organs/ glands, and energetic structures, and how to test muscles in order to assess what’s happening in a person’s body. With this, you will be able to perform basic balances on family and friends, helping to deal with some of the stresses impacting them.

Do I need to have knowledge in anatomy and physiology to do the workshops?

No. It is assumed that learners have no prior knowledge or qualifications in anatomy and physiology. It is possible to apply the techniques with very little knowledge in this area.

Who designs and develops your materials?

The Principles Workshops are written and developed by Hugo Tobar, from the NK INSTITUTE in Australia. Kinesiology Asia is responsible for the planning and delivery of those materials.

What options for further study do I have after completing the Principles course?

Once you have completed the Principles course you may choose to continue learning more Kinesiology and join the Foundations course when next offered. The other workshops in Foundations build on Principles, and students learn to start applying Kinesiology protocols and techniques in broader areas.

Is there a governing body for Kinesiology in Hong Kong?

No. Kinesiology is a relatively new and growing modality in this part of the world, and as such, has no formal governing body. Therefore, technically, there are no formal qualification requirements here. The founder of Kinesiology Asia, Brett Scott, pioneered kinesiology in Hong Kong around 2006. As the leading Specialised Kinesiology clinic and education centre in this part of the world, we strive to set high standards and produce the best quality Kinesiology students possible.
