If you’re struggling with persistent pain and stiffness, you might be looking for a homeopathic approach to ease some of your aches. One option your personal trainer might suggest is NeuroKinetic Therapy®. This specialized process works to treat the root cause, rather than the symptoms, so you can move forward without pain. Below, learn commonly asked questions about this type of therapy and how you can prepare for your first appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions About NeuroKinetic Therapy 

What is it?

NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) is a type of massage therapy that combines muscle testing and motor control. During a session, your personal trainer will apply pressure to the affected area and ask you to push back and create resistance. They’ll then gauge your muscle strength to identify faulty movement patterns and build the control accordingly. 

What is it used for?

This type of therapy is used by personal trainers to address a broad range of pain or motor issues. Some of the most common include lower back pain, carpal tunnel, TMJ, tight muscles, pelvic floor dysfunction, and joint issues.

How long does it take to work?

Much like any other form of therapy, you’ll need to engage in repeat appointments to see the best results. Retraining the muscles and motor functions can take time, and it’s only achieved through a carefully organized exercise regimen through your personal trainer. Although you might start to feel better after your first session, you’ll likely need at least 15 hours of therapy to ensure the best results. 

How should you prepare?

Bring a copy of your medical records with you to your first appointment. This will ensure your personal trainer has all the information needed to accurately diagnose your condition. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that will give them access to the affected area, and prepare any questions you might want to address before your appointment.
