Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT)
At Skin & Medical Northbridge, our physiotherapist is specially trained using Neurokinetic Therapy as an approach to assist in physical treatment. Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) is an unique assessment and treatment approach to identify and correct dysfunctional movement patterns and muscle imbalances. When there is an injury, trauma or repetitive stress, dysfunctional movement patterns and muscle imbalances can develop. NKT can help to pinpoint which muscles are overactive (facilitated) and which are underactive (inhibited), and also restoring proper muscle activation and movement.
NKT can be beneficial to individuals suffering from chronic pain, repetitive muscular spasms and poor muscular control. It can also enhance athlete and fitness enthusiasts who fails to further improve their performance due to certain muscle tightness and poor control by ensuring the right muscle are firing at the right time, hence preventing the recurrence of injuries and improving performances.
