Mara is certified in NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT®). She is currently only one of two practitioners offering NKT® in Illinois.
It is a concept that addresses dysfunctional movement patterns at their core- the Motor Control Center in the cerebellum. Knowing how to reprogram the (MCC) allows the brain to access neural pathways that have been under utilized, causing imbalance and pain.
NKT® utilizes muscle testing in order to rewire the Motor Control Center (MCC) in the Cerebellum. Basically, our brains learn to function by failure and repetition. When a muscle test ‘fails’ this opens up the MCC to learn a new pattern.
NKT® allows the practitioner to reprogram the MCC by correcting the dysfunction. This is an amazing modality that will ONLY work if the client is ACTIVE in the therapy and recovery.
NKT® requires you to be an active participant in your healing process. You will need to perform specific rehab exercises to ‘burn in’ the new functional pattern. This means you will move more efficiently and fluidly in the way that your body originally intended.
