Philip Rafferty is the Founder and Director of Kinergetics®

Kinesiology and RESET TMJ®

modalities.

Over the years, Philip studied many of the branches of kinesiology and was the Founding President of the Touch For Health Association in Victoria. The state TFH Associations later became the Australian Kinesiology Association (AKA) that strongly supports kinesiologists throughout Australia today.

In the early 1980s, Philip mainly used Touch For Health and Hyperton-X. John Thie recognised the work that Philip contributed to TFH and gave Philip permission to print all of the TFH charts that so many Kinesiologists use today in their clinics. His good friend Michael Wild joined him in business and together they named the business Equilibrium which became an alternative bookstore that sold Kinesiology materials to the growing number of kinesiologists and TFH instructors in Australia and around the world. As Philip travelled to teach Kinesiology, Michael took over Equilibrium which continues to supply and support kinesiologists and the public with an extensive range of kinesiology and related materials. Philip went on to become an instructor of Hyperton-X and studied for many years with Frank Mahony.

During the 1980s, Philip’s study started to extend from Kinesiology modalities to the study of systems that worked specifically with energy healing, life enhancement and personal growth. The study and experience of energy and how it interacts with the physical body interested him on a deep level. Philip discovered that healing energy corrected many imbalances and cleared blocks in the energy fields, which then allowed energy to flow. The principle of Kinergetics® Kinesiology was born. Its aim was to direct healing energy to where energetic imbalances showed, as directed by the body through muscle testing. In 1991, Philip developed ‘Kinergy’ which merged into ‘Kinergetics^® Kinesiology’.

In 1995 Philip developed RESET (Rafferty Energy System of Easing the Temporomandibular Joint) as an evening self-help workshop for clients and students to relax the jaw muscles (TMJ). It was adapted from Kinergetics^® Kinesiology and was later developed into ‘RESET TMJ^®’ which comprises of a series of three workshops. RESET TMJ® relaxes the major tendons and muscles around the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ). This takes the body out of fight/ flight. 

With a special interest in Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), he carries on his study of fight/flight and the role of TMJ, fascia, and magnesium deficiency. He continues to research and develop new content for heavy metal toxicity, particularly mercury, lead, and aluminium, including dental amalgams.

Philip now co-teaches all workshops with instructor Germaine Byrne who is a member of the International Trust, a group of trustees which manages publishing of the workshop material, the representational part at international conferences and seminars and licencing of practitioners plus maintains the standards set over thirty years ago.

Philip loves enabling people to heal themselves and share their skills with others, opening people to their natural healing abilities and helping them clear blocks that inhibit this natural process.

Philip teaches Intro, Units 1-6, Master Class 1, Master Class 2, VHT, Stretch For Health, Dissolving Stress In The Immune System, RESET TMJ 1, 2, & 3, Practitioner Exams, Instructor Exams, and BNT in Australia, UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Russia and New Zealand.
