Kinesiology started in Sweden

The Swedish Professor Carl August Georgii at the Royal Gymnastic Central Institute GCI in Stockholm, created and coined the new international word Kinesiology in 1854.

The term Kinesiology is a literal translation to Greek-English from the original Swedish word Rörelselära, meaning "Movement-Study/Knowledge", which was the foundation of the Medical Gymnastics (the original Physiotherapy) from Sweden.





At the Swedish School of Kinesiology in Stockholm we teach advanced manual muscle testing and neuromuscular tests and unique methods of kinesiology as part of our training to Physiopractor ®, Psychopractor ® and Acupractor ®.
