Dr. James Townhill, D.C., D.I.B.A.K. Following an injury sustained 25 years ago while playing rugby, Dr. Townhill sought the care of a Doctor of Chiropractic. Pleased with the results obtained through such treatments, he decided to pursue studies in Applied Kinesiology. He embarked on this journey in 2007 and obtained his D.I.B.A.K. in 2013.


He is registered as a teacher at the International College of Applied Kinesiology. For some time, he has been involved in providing training courses targeting chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and medical professionals in general.


Dr. Townhill has revealed that the primary purpose of his studies and work is to find the most suitable and effective treatments, especially in more complex cases. Furthermore, he collaborates with various athletes and sports professionals to enhance physical conditions and performance. A distinctive aspect of his work is also within the field of equestrianism, where he conducts courses for jockeys to aid and improve coordination with the animals. Dr. Townhill receives patients at his studio located in the Netherlands.

Dr. Alan Jenks, chiropractor, graduated from the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK) and holds a diploma from the Clinical Nutrition Chiropractic Commission.


He earned his degree in Kinesiology Science from Simon Fraser University. Dr. Jenks has practiced his profession in various countries, including Portland, USA, Maasdijk, Netherlands, and is currently located in British Columbia, Canada.


Currently serving as the President of the International Board of Examiners for ICAK (International College of Applied Kinesiology), Jenks teaches globally. In 2017, he brought his expertise to Italy, achieving tremendous success. Finally, after many years, he returns to our country.

Attendance to the course assumes a prior understanding of the fundamentals of musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology..

What is Applied Kinesiology?

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach that allows for the assessment and treatment of imbalances in the body at structural, biochemical, and mental levels through the analysis of muscle response mediated by an appropriate stimulus. It is characterized by the use, alongside standard diagnostic methods, of posture and gait analysis, range of motion assessment, and static and dynamic palpation.


In 1964, Dr. George Goodheart, D.C., introduced the use of manual muscle testing for evaluating body functions through neuromuscular pathways. Placed in the right perspective, Applied Kinesiology is a valuable tool for assessing the impact that a variety of endogenous and exogenous stimuli have on the nervous system. It truly adds a new dimension to diagnosis, especially concerning functional issues: not only to understand complex functional symptoms but also to distinguish functional factors from pathological ones when a pathology has already developed.


For this reason, Applied Kinesiology should be a fundamental tool and a common language used by every professional involved in the art of healing, such as chiropractors, dentists, osteopaths, medical surgeons, naturopaths.

The course will be presented by the speakers in English 

with consecutive translation into Italian
