Kinesiology is the study of human movement and can also refer to a complementary therapy that uses muscle monitoring to help the body rebalance:
Complementary Therapy
Kinesiology is a therapy that uses muscle monitoring to identify imbalances in the body and help relieve them. Kinesiologists use manual muscle testing to assess the body, and then work with clients to help restore balance. This may involve massage, lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, relaxation techniques, and more. Kinesiology can be beneficial for everyone, not just athletes or sports enthusiasts. It can help people with disabilities, injuries, diseases, children, and older adults apply the principles of kinesiology to their daily lives. |

Zoe Lindsey - Individual Giving Manager Motivation UK
Glasses, hearing aids and wheelchairs- known as assistive technology or AT – are essential for a healthy, productive and independent life. In fact, they are so vital that access to AT is a human right, enshrined in the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. But in countries like India, Kenya, Malawi and Uganda, less than 10% of people have the wheelchair they are entitled to. And even with a wheelchair, people face a world full of badly designed buildings, inaccessible transport, discrimination and negative stereotypes. Motivation works to change that by supporting governments, clinics, businesses, communities and families to find practical solutions and remove the barriers that disable people. We believe we all have a role to play in making space for disability. Motivation Charitable Trust works with the parents and caregivers of disabled children, so they can support their child’s early development, build support networks and increase their household income. We work with families and communities to challenge stigma and build support for disabled people’s equal access, participation and inclusion. We work with clinical and community rehabilitation professionals so disabled people can access services that assess, prescribe and fit wheelchairs to their specific needs, and train them how to use, maintain and repair their chairs. We work with policy and decision makers to secure and act on disabled people’s rights. |

Simon Tutton - Waterspring Venture - Venture Capital Waterspring Ventures are a group of entrepreneurs, investors and advisors who have witnessed first-hand how difficult it is for early-stage UK businesses to raise funding, particularly those based in the UK regions or outside the tech industry. The UK currently has a rare opportunity to reshape the economy for the benefit of wider society, but we need to create a higher wage, high skill economy with the benefits enjoyed across the country. They believe the most effective way to level up is by radically increasing access to venture capital for ambitious companies in geographies, industries and communities which are often overlooked. |
