NeuroKinetic Therapy™ corrective movement system is a sophisticated bodywork modality that can be used as both an assessment and rehabilitative technique for low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel, knee, shoulder and other injuries.
David Weinstock, author of Neurokinetic Therapy, an Innovative Approach to Manual Muscle Testing, co-developed this technique in the mid-1980s, and has used it to treat a variety of disorders that are featured on this website. The NeuroKinetic Therapy™ corrective movement system protocol employing a system of precise muscle tests has the ability to change the programming of the Motor Control Center (MCC) in the cerebellum. The MCC coordinates all movement patterns in the body. It learns through failure.
A good example is a baby learning to stand. Through many attempts and failures the baby finally achieves success. But how? The MCC chooses the most successful attempts until standing happens without “thinking” about it. Conversely, after an injury, the MCC adapts to a compensation pattern and holds that in its memory forever unless it is convinced to change. A good example is a whiplash accident in which the posterior neck muscles brace for the anterior neck muscles. This pattern can endure forever unless there is some intervention.
Using NeuroKinetic Therapy™ corrective movement system we test the weak or dysfunctional muscle(s) and open the Motor Control Center (MCC) to new learning. After the balance is restored, the MCC is “reprogrammed” and recognizes the dysfunctional muscles. To complete the reprogramming, specific Pilates exercises are assigned to “burn in” the new functional pattern. NKT is most frequently used within a Pilates session, but may be purchased as a stand alone session.

Whole Body Vibration(WBV)
What is it?
On a WBV machine, the platform you stand on moves very rapidly. This controlled motion is transferred up through your body. All of your body tissues are forced to react to the stimulus of the vibrating platform. Blood flow increases considerably and more oxygen gets circulated throughout your body. Lymphatic drainage improves which aids in detoxification and increased bone mineral density.
The way you position your body on the vibrating platform determines what tissues are affected. You have complete control over the body part you want to target and how challenging the workout is.
The Benefits:There are numerous benefits of WBV training as evidenced by its acceptance in major medical, rehabilitation and therapeutic centers across the country.
- WBV works and tones your muscles more efficiently than conventional exercises
- WBV increases your lymphatic drainage and the release of endorphins
- WBV trains your equilibrium sense for improved balance and coordination
- WBV enhances your blood flow and oxygenation
- WBV improves bone mineral density
- WBV lowers your stress hormone Cortisol
The health benefits are multifold and results can be achieved easily no matter which type of WBV technology you use. WBV can enhance your general well being and quality of life regardless of age, current exercise habits, or physical condition. WBV training is not difficult, but it can be challenging – it can be as simple or as hard as you make it.
Practical experience indicates that there are a number of disorders where it is beneficial to integrate Whole Body Vibration training into ones treatment.As you can see, when you use a PowerVibe WBV platform for training, rehabilitation, or
therapy you’re getting an unbelievable workout. All the exercises are done either standing,
sitting, or lying down. And because of the frequency of the platform movement, just 10
minutes using a WBV machine can now get you the physical equivalent of 60 minutes of
conventional (boring) exercise at a gym.
The benefits of WBV training are considerable, as evidenced by its acceptance in major
medical, rehabilitation and therapeutic centers across the country. The health benefits are
multifold and results can be achieved easily. It can enhance your general well being and
quality of life regardless of age, medical, neurological or physical condition. WBV training is
not difficult, but it can be challenging – the degree of difficulty is entirely up to you.
