NeuroKinetic Therapy - Level 1

Course overview

NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) Level 1 is a hands-on introductory course that teaches the fundamentals of motor control theory, muscle testing, and hands-on release techniques. This course provides practitioners with the tools to assess and correct dysfunctional compensation patters that may contribute to restrictions and limitations within the body. Components of NKT Level 1: - Introduction to NKT and Motor Control Theory: - Learn foundational concepts of how NKT works to assess and treat muscle imbalances. - Understand the role of the brain and nervous system in controlling movement and how compensation patterns are formed when there is dysfunction such as chronic pain. - Manual Muscle Testing: - Learn basic muscle testing techniques used to identify compensation patterns. - Use muscle testing to determine which muscles are underactive and which ones are overactive, leading to compensation patterns. - Practical Application of NKT: - Understand how to apply NKT principles in a massage treatment setting to improve client outcomes. - Hands-on practice of muscle testing and applying that into the NKT protocol to correct compensation patterns. - Building a Foundation for Advanced Training: - Level 1 serves as the foundational knowledge for progressing to more advanced concepts of levels 2 and 3. - Emphasis on continued practice and learning, encouraging practitioners to practice and apply skills learned to enhance client outcomes.
