Master the Foundations of Applied Kinesiology with the AK Academy PAK Foundation Program

Learn from Australia's only trusted online platform for Professional Applied Kinesiology education

Are you ready to elevate your diagnostic and clinical skill set with a structured, in-depth, and scientifically grounded approach to Applied Kinesiology?


The PAK Foundation Program by AK Academy is a comprehensive, flexible and professionally presented online program for learning Applied Kinesiology (AK) — and one of the few programs worldwide that delivers both clinical precision and scientific theory.


Why Choose the AK Academy PAK Foundation Program?

🔬 Built for Clinical Relevance
This program is more than just theory. Each module is carefully designed to give you tools you can apply in clinic immediately — with a strong focus on accurate assessment, treatment efficiency and improved patient outcomes.

🎓 Created by Clinicians, for Clinicians
 Developed and taught by experienced practitioners with more than 50 years of combined experience with a passion for manual muscle testing and integrative healthcare. The content is rich, real-world and directly applicable to modern clinical practice.

🧠 Integrated Functional Assessments
 Learn how AK interacts with the nervous system, muscle inhibition patterns, structural abnormalities, physiological and laboratory assessments and biochemistry. No fluff — just clean, cutting-edge concepts that will change how you assess and treat.

🌐 100% Online & Self-Paced Theory combined with Practical Workshops
 Reduced travel. Reduced scheduling conflicts. Reduced accommodation fees. Learn the theory when and where it suits you, with high-quality video content, downloadable PDFs, visual aids, and module quizzes to reinforce your learning.

🔎 Master Manual Muscle Testing
 Gain clarity and consistency with one of the most misunderstood tools in manual medicine. Learn reliable testing protocols, how to interpret muscle inhibition, how to differentiate between primary and compensatory dysfunctions and use digital force profiling devices to rapidly enhance your muscle testing skills.


📚 Comprehensive Curriculum
The PAK Foundation Program is structured into core modules covering:

  • Core principles of Professional Applied Kinesiology (PAK)
  • Manual muscle testing methodology and science
  • Visceral corrections and reflexes
  • Cranial and TMJ influences
  • Gait analysis and spinal integration
  • Spinal and peripheral joint function
  • Biochemistry and functional health applications
  • Nerve entrapments
  • Meridians and their influence
  • ... and much more.


📈 Designed for Outcome-Oriented Practitioners
This program is ideal for Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Medical practitioners and other therapists looking to enhance precision, reduce treatment guesswork, and elevate clinical confidence.
