What if the area that hurts is only part of the story?
As a Level 3 NeuroKinetic Therapy® practitioner, I use hands-on muscle testing alongside movement assessment to explore how your muscles work together. These findings help guide the techniques and exercises I choose for you, with the goal of making everyday movement feel more comfortable.
NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT®) uses hands-on muscle testing to explore how muscles work together during movement. During a test, I ask you to hold a position while I apply pressure and observe your response.
I consider those findings alongside your history, movement patterns, and what you’re feeling. Together, they help guide focused hands-on work and exercises selected for your needs. We then repeat the relevant tests and movements to check your response and adjust the next step.
Have you noticed yourself shifting away from an uncomfortable knee, lifting one shoulder when you reach, or favoring one side when you walk?
These workarounds are worth exploring. I look at how you perform the movements that matter to you and use NKT® muscle testing as part of that assessment.
Your goals give us something practical to check: turning your head, reaching overhead, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair. We revisit those movements to see what changes and guide the next step.
Your session is private and one-on-one, with time to discuss what feels difficult and what you want to improve.
You’ll remain fully clothed. Depending on what we’re assessing, you may be sitting, standing, or lying on the treatment table. I’ll explain each muscle test and ask you to hold a position while I apply pressure.
The findings guide hands-on techniques and targeted movement. We’ll repeat relevant tests and everyday movements to check your response and adjust as needed.
When appropriate, I’ll give you a few specific exercises to practice at home—and make sure you feel comfortable doing them.
