What is Allergy Testing?
The Health Kinesiologist at the Westoe Practice, South Shields, is able to allergy test for many different substances that may have a negative effect on the body including food types, pollens, additives, chemicals, perfumes and metals using Health Kinesiology muscle testing.

Allergy is the term used to describe an adverse (bad) reaction that the body has to a particular substance. At the Westoe Practice, South Shields we recognise that Allergies, intolerances or sensitivities are very common and affect around one in four people in the UK at some time in their lives. The number of people affected by allergies rises every year. Allergic reactions can cause a range of symptoms. Some can be quite mild, and some are more serious.
