NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT)
What Is NKT?
A great amount of my continued professional development has centred around rehabilitation. I am passionate about teaching you how to move confidently again after injury. Injury can be debilitating and often our response is to stop moving altogether leading to more stiffness and pain.
​
My latest adventure is into the fascinating world of NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT) which is a tool used to assess dysfunctional movement patterns and reprogramme the motor control centre. Often after an injury or because of poor movement or posture, a compensatory pattern occurs. This is when muscles or ligaments overwork and others underwork . This can create tightness, inhibition and pain. Muscles are tested using the NKT protocol to determine which is the case and then the brain is reprogrammed with a short period of treatment and simple exercises that can be performed at home.
