AK Professionals
ICAK Professionals are healthcare practitioners in their own right and are governed by their own professional codes of conduct. These professionals include osteopaths, chiropractors, medical doctors, dentists, physiotherapists and acupuncturists who use AK as an additional diagnostic tool.
The ICAK Foundation Course
The Foundation course in Applied Kinesiology is open to those who have completed a 3000 hour (equivalent to a 3-year full time) undergraduate education in a medically oriented degree such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic, or physiotherapy. The course is taught in 5 weekend modules, on a monthly schedule and runs in concordance with the academic year. At the end of the course, you are entitled to take a practical Proficiency Exam. On passing this exam, you will be awarded a Certificate of Proficiency to practice AK.
On completion of the full course and exam, you will be entitled to membership of ICAK-UK provided you also have membership of a regulatory body of a healthcare profession approved by ICAK-UK; plus current professional liability insurance.
Following on from the Fundamentals Course there are a further three intermediate seminars available to attend. Upon successful completion of all eight weekends, you will be eligible to take the test of Clinical Competence. This test includes both a written and practical exam. On passing this test, you will be awarded a Clinical Competence certificate and will be eligible to use the PAK (Professional Applied Kinesiology) status.
Advanced Courses
These are run approximately twice annually, with one seminar taking place on the same weekend as the annual AGM.
Topics covered in recent years include Advanced Orthomolecular Medicine, Foot Biomechanics and Orthotic Prescription, AK and Visceral Osteopathy, Peripheral Nerve Entrapment, Digestion and Detoxification, Treating Children with Special Needs, Cranial Nerve Testing and Treatment, Ligament Interlink, and Advanced Injury Recall Technique.
