Individual Treatment Using Combination Of Detailed Client Assessment, NeuroKinetic Therapy, Neural Developmentally Based Corrective Exercise, and Myofascial Release Techniques. Restoring Balance Stability and Mobility.
At Thrive Therapeutic Bodyworks we focus on restoring proper muscle and tissue function to help people move better and resolve chronic pain. My work addresses the coordination problems that often drive pain by improving core stabilization, breathing mechanics, gait patterns, and overall load sharing throughout the body. Using a combination of NeuroKinetic Therapy, neural developmental principles, and corrective exercises designed to gently coordinate tissue and correct dysfunctional motor patterns, I help retrain the nervous system so muscles function the way they’re meant to.
I also offer targeted myofascial release for pain and tension, available in both one-hour and ninety-minute sessions. This work can help address issues such as headaches, TMJ dysfunction, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, hip pain, and knee pain.
These combinations of techniques are ideal for anyone struggling with chronic pain and/or mobility issues, individuals recovering from injuries, and athletes looking to improve overall performance. By addressing dysfunction at the neurological level, we can provide long-lasting improvements beyond traditional treatments.
The goal is not just temporary relief, but restoring efficient movement and long-term stability in the body
What is NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT)?
Originally developed in the early 2000's by David Weinstock, NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT) is a cutting-edge, ever evolving, assessment-based therapy, based on the hierarchy of motor control. It used to identify and correct dysfunctional movement patterns at their root cause.
This therapy works by using an innovative and precise form of manual muscle testing to determine which muscles are compensating for others, allowing the practitioner to restore proper movement and function through a series of release and activation techniques.
How does it work?
The body develops movement patterns as a response to injuries, repetitive improper motions, poor posture, fascial restriction from scaring (including surgical scars), poor core stabilization, poor breathing patterns etc.
When a muscle becomes weak or inhibited, other muscles compensate, leading to pain, tension, and imbalances. Eventually "setting in" and becoming motor pattern dysfunctions. NKT works directly with the motor control center in the brain to retrain these faulty movement patterns, providing long-term relief and improved mobility.
