We had a blast teaching a phenomenal group of healthcare practitioners the amazing assessment & treatment approach of Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT,) this past weekend. This was our 3rd year hosting the Level 1 Module.
We were introduced to this coursework five years ago & it truly revolutionized our practice from the inside out in almost every way. This approach helps answer the ‘WHY’ to many of our patient’s problems & goes really well as a adjunct assessment & treatment partner to other techniques in our arsenal💪
What is truly amazing is that the more time you have with patients, the more you can utilize what you spend so much of your time, effort & money learning. In today’s healthcare environment, time is definitely the unicorn of variables.
What’s even better is being able to give back & teach the next great group of therapists the tools of the trade. It’s up to them to create the practice of their dreams & allow themselves to have time to apply what they’ve learned.
We had the very good forture of being able to host our third Neurokinetic Therapy Level 1 Course this past weekend. There were practitioners as far away as France and Canada who were able to attend and learn from Eric Nelson, lead instructor as well as myself and a few other practitioners who have been utilizing this method as part of their assessment and treatment programs.

How do we get our patients better❓We teach 1 patient at a time‼️
➖
You cannot get someone to stay out of pain if they don’t move well first! How do you move well? You have to teach. How can you learn if your PT doesn’t take the time out to teach, show, practice & review what you’re doing & how you’re doing it
➖
Taking videos, pictures, slow-motion videos, etc. and sharing them with your patients makes a huge difference.
➖
These are all tools that we use to educate our patients so they don’t just feel better today, but feel better tomorrow and stay better 1 year from tomorrow. 💥 #movehealchange
Heard on a @timferriss podcast recently & it really resonated with me‼️
➖
Fits most applications in our world as well as yours. What’s your pace? Is it appropriate for your goals, dreams, aspirations❓ When do you want to get “there❓” #movehealchange

We tell most clients who are interested in our services that we want them to learn how to treat themselves rather then relying on us to treat them. Of course we do treat our patients, but ultimately we wish for them to understand their injury and their pain. We need them to learn how to move better and be aware of their posture and movement patterns. We want them to practice their movements and learn their movements between sessions. This creates patterns and habits that then replace the compensatory strategies that created their pain in the first place.
**
This allows us to treat our clients 1-2x/wk for only a few weeks instead of having someone commit to spending hours upon hours each week being stuck in physical therapy getting passive modalities and relying on someone else to ‘fix’ them rather then learning how to fix themselves.
Connect with each patient as if that client was to be the match that lights the fuse to what you dream of when it comes to your PT practice‼️ Will that client go home & talk about how amazing 🙌 her session was with you❓
. . . & if you’re the patient & are working with a PT that does not have the enthusiasm 🎉 that I’m talking about, you should ask him or her why. It’s most likely their environment & not you. Ask them if they have the time ⏰ to be able to treat the way they would want to treat their patients. Betcha you already know the answer to that question ✊ #movehealchange
I have previously worked with other physical therapists and, hands down, Dimitry Polyakov and Total Physical Therapy are the BEST! Their focus, caring and responsiveness is unparalleled. Their unique approach generated quick results and not only improved my troubled back but also improved my overall body. The use of instructional videos of my myself to refer to when performing exercises at home enhanced my workouts. It is ironic that I actually enjoyed my time doing PT with Dimitry.
Chronic Pain CAN be resolved if you actually spend the time and dig deep during your assessment. 30 years of groin pain resolved in three weeks. Take a look!
