Dr. Martha Odegaard utilizes functional medicine and muscle testing alongside her Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments. Muscle testing is a technique that uses gentle pressure on specific points to help reveal areas of imbalance in the body.
Dr. Odegaard then applies light pressure while introducing different inputs, such as supplements or Chinese herbs, to see what helps to balance the area or organ that had previously shown up.
This helps guide individualized recommendations based on how your body responds in the moment. It doesn’t mean a product is “good” or “bad.” Instead, it helps identify whether your body resonates with that specific option. For example, there may be several high-quality vitamin D supplements available, but your body may respond better to one over another.
Muscle testing supports a personalized approach to care by honoring that each body is unique and may need something slightly different to feel its best.
