Prerequisites

NeuroKinetic Therapy is for all practitioners who are licensed/certified and insured to work in their field, such as chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, athletic trainers, personal trainers, Pilates instructors, yoga therapists, etc.

Preparing for the class

  • Take the Online Anatomy and Kinesiology Course and Test and watch the Manual Muscle Testing video. The links and coupon codes will be provided in the confirmation letter you receive after registering for any NKT Level 1 Seminar through PayPal.
  • Take the Manual Muscle Testing 4-hr short-course offered the Friday before NKT® Level 1. This course will cover the Level 1 muscle tests that tend to be the most difficult to learn and to practice repetition of the tests on bodies. If you have little to no experience with Muscles Testing or would like a refresher this will be a great addition to NKT®.  Cost: $150
