What Is Total Body Analysis?
Every wellness journey begins with understanding where you are today. You may recognize that something does not feel quite right, yet still be uncertain about which patterns deserve attention or where to begin making changes.
Total Body Analysis, commonly called TBA, offers a structured starting point for exploring those questions.
TBA is a gentle, non-invasive wellness process developed by Dr. Reuben T. DeHaan. It uses a structured form of kinesiology—often called muscle-response testing—to explore patterns of stress that may be influencing a person’s overall well-being. Rather than looking at one concern in isolation, TBA considers the body as an interconnected system. Nutrition, lifestyle, physical strain, emotional stress, environmental influences, and past experiences may all become part of the conversation.
How TBA Works
The body and nervous system are continually responding to information from both internal and external sources. Kinesiology uses changes in muscle response as a form of practitioner-guided feedback while a specific testing protocol is followed.
During a TBA session, the practitioner uses specialized testing vials representing different areas of wellness inquiry. At PathFinders, the vial collection includes testing vials provided through Dr. DeHaan’s TBA system as well as bioenergetic testing vials from Ergopathics Canada. The vials we use contain water and alcohol that serve as bioenergetic representations of the items identified on their labels. They do not contain the actual substances named on those labels.
By observing muscle responses while working through the TBA protocol, the practitioner gathers information that may help:
- Guide further wellness questions
- Explore possible patterns of stress
- Identify areas that may deserve additional attention
- Consider supportive nutrition and lifestyle strategies
- Develop a more personalized path forward
TBA findings are considered alongside the information you provide about your health history, lifestyle, current concerns, and personal wellness goals. The process is not intended to reduce a person to a set of results. It provides another perspective that can help guide a thoughtful and individualized wellness conversation.
Total Body Analysis provides a structured way to gather information and explore patterns that may be influencing your well-being. Once we understand how the process works, the next step is using those observations to determine where supportive attention may be most useful.
