NeuroKinetic Therapy®
Identifying & correcting faulty movement patterns
Massage vs NeuroKinetic Therapy. Which do I choose?
In a nutshell, massage is a form of bodywork and so is NKT, but NKT goes a step further. If you are seeking general well-being, relaxation or help with muscular tension, massage is a great option. For more specific issues such as acute or chronic pain, restricted movement, repetitive strain or postural habits and patterns, an NKT session is highly recommended.
NeuroKinetic Therapy®
NKT is a specialised bodywork technique that identifies and corrects dysfunctional movement patterns stored in the brain. Using precise muscle testing, NKT pinpoints imbalances where certain muscles compensate for others that are underactive or inhibited. By retraining the nervous system, this therapy helps restore proper function, relieve pain, and improve movement efficiency, making it ideal for both injury recovery and performance enhancement.

FAQs
-
NeuroKinetic Therapy® is an application of Motor Control Theory, neuroscience and functional anatomy (neurobiomechanics) that helps the therapist to unravel the cause of faulty movement patterns in the brain’s Motor Control Centre. NKT® identifies muscle imbalances through unique protocols to determine what muscles are inhibited and what muscles are compensating for them. This allows for the use of specific treatment and corrective exercise techniques to restore proper movement patterns and reprogram the brain’s motor control center.

No in general it should not feel painful. If you are in pain, speak up and let your therapist know.
-
You will remain fully clothed throughout the session. Loose and comfortable is best.

Generally we recommend at least three sessions a couple of days or a week apart, and regular tune-ups as you need them. We will discuss this in more detail in person.
