Quite often with chronic pain, where the pain is, the problem isn’t. When solving the pain puzzle, it’s helpful to have as many options as possible to provide the pain free solution. NKT is a seriously powerful tool to achieve that result. It is a brain body system that allows the neuromuscular connections to be tested and find out what the brain can actually find. After all, if you cant find it, you cant use it. If you cant use it, you’ll try to use something else and that usually leads to pain and discomfort.
This is where Neurokinetic Therapy comes in. By considering how the body moves and connects muscularly, we can test muscles and find out if the brain’s motor control system can find them and ‘switch’ them back on if necessary. You don’t have to live with pain, find out how.
What is NKT Good For?
People of all ages may benefit from neurokinetic therapy. This includes people who are very active and those who are sedentary. This therapy may be used as part of a treatment regimen for a number of conditions and injuries, such as:
• Impact or trauma injuries, such as motor vehicle accidents
• Jaw and neck pain, such as with TMJ or whiplash
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Plantar fasciitis
• Pain associated with using improper form when exercising
• Low back pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Injuries, such as tears, strains and pulls of the muscles and other soft tissues of the body
• Tendinitis and bursitis
There are multiple benefits using this therapy. It is able to reduce tension and pain associated with overworked muscles. Overuse can result in compensation patterns. Following a trauma, it is common to guard an injured area while recovering. This too results in compensation patterns and NKT is able to alleviate these by retraining the muscles after they heal.
Athletes may turn to NKT to aid with correcting poor form, inefficiency, and improving performance. For example, when a runner is using compensation patterns, they are at a higher risk for several conditions, such as heel spurs, mechanical hip pain, pre-arthritic pain and plantar fasciitis. When athletes utilize NKT, they can reduce the risk of activity-related injuries as well as:
• Improve posture, balance and coordination
• Increase strength, stamina and range of motion
• Reduced muscle spasms
• Less muscle fatigue with faster muscle recovery
