NeuroKinetic Therapy® in Santa Rosa, CA
At Resilient Body in Santa Rosa, we specialize in helping our clients move better, feel better, and stay pain-free using cutting-edge bodywork techniques. One of the most powerful tools in our practice is NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT)—a groundbreaking approach that blends motor control theory, manual muscle testing, and hands-on therapy to address the root cause of movement dysfunctions.
What is NeuroKinetic Therapy®?
NeuroKinetic Therapy® is a unique manual therapy and bodywork modality designed to assess and correct dysfunctional movement patterns. Instead of simply treating symptoms, NKT helps us identify the true source of pain, restriction, or weakness in the body by analyzing how your muscles and nervous system communicate.
Through a process of manual muscle testing, we can detect compensation patterns—where some muscles are overworking while others are underperforming. By using precise corrections and movement re-education, we help restore proper balance, allowing the body to function efficiently and pain-free.
How Does
NKT Work?
Assessment Through Muscle Testing – We perform gentle, hands-on tests to evaluate muscle activation and coordination. This helps us pinpoint dysfunctional movement patterns and muscle imbalances.
Identifying Compensations – The body develops compensatory patterns due to injury, repetitive stress, or poor posture. NKT helps reveal which muscles are compensating for others.
Reprogramming the Nervous System – By using targeted release techniques and corrective exercises, we retrain the brain’s motor control system to establish new, healthy movement patterns.
Long-Lasting Results – Because NKT resets the brain’s control over movement, it helps ensure that your bodywork results “stick” for the long term.
Who Can Benefit from NeuroKinetic Therapy®?
NKT is effective for a wide range of people, from athletes and active individuals to those struggling with chronic pain. It can help with:
• Chronic pain relief – Back, neck, shoulder, knee, and hip pain
• Injury recovery & rehabilitation – Addressing the root cause of recurring injuries
• Improved mobility & flexibility – Restoring movement efficiency
• Sports performance enhancement – Optimizing strength, endurance, and biomechanics
• Postural correction – Reducing strain from poor movement habits
• Relief from headaches & jaw tension – TMJ dysfunction, migraines, and tension headaches

Manual therapy is a specialized form of skilled physical treatment that involves hands-on techniques to assess, treat, and manage various musculoskeletal conditions. The primary goal of manual therapy is to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function. In some cases we combine this passive treatment with a more active one for best results.
