NeuroKinetic Therapy An Innovative Approach to Manual Muscle Testing

NeuroKinetic Therapy is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain
muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked.
This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the
client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle,
revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation
patterns—reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner’s
manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve
compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this
approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each
section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the
muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical
illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the
muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical
therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to
treat underlying causes of pain.
