We test this neurological activation by applying pressure to a specific muscle in a “manual muscle test” position, and the muscle will either be able to engage and hold strong in the test or it will not be able to activate and result in a failed test.
Failed tests come about because of injuries, falls, whiplash or operations that we experience in our life. At the time of an injury a muscle fails because it is injured and then the brain has to find a new neural pathway to allow your body to move, these are how compensation patterns develop, NKT can identify those compensations and rewire the nerve pathways back to the correct movement pathway.
NKT is a form of functional movement training of discovering muscle imbalances, a practitioner is able to create neuromuscular re-education that correct movement dysfunctions, bringing about performance enhancement and injury prevention.
