During a muscle testing appointment, your provider uses gentle pressure and resistance to observe how specific muscles respond. At Big Life Integrative Health + Regenerative Aesthetics, muscle testing is a noninvasive, hands-on technique used as a form of biofeedback to explore factors that could be connected with fatigue, brain fog, or other ongoing wellness issues.
You can receive this service at our office in Lone Tree, CO. Our team includes Christy Garbus, FNP-C, MSN, who has experience in family medicine, functional medicine, hormone care, and muscle testing. She has also worked in emergency and cardiac medicine and holds a master’s degree in nursing education.
What Happens at the Beginning of Your Visit?
Your first muscle testing session gives your practitioner time to learn what’s been going on with your health. You’ll have an opportunity to talk about your symptoms, wellness concerns, and relevant history before the hands-on portion begins.
Initial appointments at Big Life typically last about an hour, so this isn’t designed as a quick in-and-out visit.
What Does the Actual Muscle Testing Involve?
During testing, your provider applies gentle pressure or resistance while assessing how different muscles respond. The goal is to observe which muscles maintain their strength and which respond differently under resistance.
You won’t lift heavy weights or complete a strenuous workout. Muscle testing at Big Life is described as noninvasive and nonpainful. The practitioner is watching how your body responds rather than measuring athletic strength. They’ll consider the findings alongside the rest of the information gathered during your session.
What Happens After Muscle Testing?
Once the hands-on testing is complete, your provider reviews what was observed and discusses the next steps with you. Big Life commonly incorporates nutrition and supplement recommendations into plans developed after muscle testing when appropriate.
The goal is for you to leave understanding what was observed, why particular recommendations are being discussed, and what comes next.
Follow-up appointments are typically spaced about two to three months apart at Big Life so the team can review your progress and reassess as needed.
