Kinetics = Integrate and Reinforce the Change
After the neurologic system is primed, the joints are opened, and the tissues are set to heal—we finish with movement.
But not just any movement... integrative, functional, load-responsive motion that teaches the body how to keep its gains.
🏃♂️ Our Applications:
Developmental sequencing
I.C.E. Muscle Contractions with Load
Controlled instability drills
Return-to-sport or return-to-life re-integration
We want the client to leave not just feeling better—but moving differently.
📈 Clinical Outcome:
Clients report lasting relief and improved performance—because the body internalizes new patterns rather than reverting to dysfunction.
💬 How do you approach the kinetic side of therapy?
Do you blend rehab with performance? Do you use load to reinforce change?
This is where real healing and restoration start. We don’t just treat pain—we want tissues to regenerate better patterns.
Regeneration doesn’t mean just waiting for biology to do its thing. It means creating a stimulus for adaptation.
⚙️What We Use:
Blood flow stimulation (without overload)
Lymphatic drainage to reduce stagnation
Breathwork + vagal activation
Specific Isometrics, Concentrics and Eccentrics (ICE) and resistance to stimulate tissue remodeling
This primes tissues to adapt instead of react—creating durable outcomes.
📈 Clinical Outcome:
Reduced inflammation, better hydration, and faster return to function with less recurrence of symptoms.
💬 How do you promote regeneration in your work?

💪 GPP: Time to Get Started!
Aging brings stiffness, muscle loss, and reduced force production, but that doesn’t mean decline is inevitable!
Here’s the good news: Strength and movement training can slow these changes!
🟡 Identify your clients' activity intolerances and give them a plan.
🟢 Remember: “Hurt does not equal harm.” Discomfort is part of progress!
In our upcoming Member Livestream, we’ll explore General Physical Preparedness as an evolving framework: How can we ensure our clients are physically ready for the wide range of everyday challenges they might face—especially as they age or recover?
Join us online for this focused, practical training—Friday, July 18th at 11:30 am EST

Articular = Joint health is nervous system health
Once the neurology is primed, we shift focus to the joint system—where mobility and alignment live.
Joints inform the brain just as much as muscles do. Stuck capsules, locked segments, or compressed joints alter input to the CNS.
🧩 Our Strategy:
We assess and mobilize:
Capsular tension patterns
Joint centration and decompression
Positional faults and segmental restrictions
Arthrokinematics influencing muscle guarding
📈 Clinical Outcome:
Clients often regain smoother motion and better load transfer after specific articular techniques—especially when paired with neuro resets.
💬 Your Thoughts:
How do you approach joint mobility in your sessions?

Neuro = The command center of function
In our N.A.R.K. framework, we begin with neurology—because if the nervous system isn’t firing properly, nothing else can stabilize.
Whether it's reflex inhibition or poor proprioception, the nervous system governs pain, performance, and movement.
🔬 Our Approach:
We Assess & Special Test:
myotomes & dermatomes
Eye, vestibular, and cerebellar influences
Sensory integration and postural reflexes
Even subtle neuro corrections can radically shift tone, reduce guarding, and improve mobility.
📈 Clinical Outcome:
We often see an instant change in range, strength, and even pain perception—without even touching the painful area directly.
💬 How about you?
Do you integrate neuro-based testing in your work?
Drop a technique or principle you have been using to activate the nervous system before manual or movement work.

Congratulations to Angi on earning her Level 2: Stability Certification!
After completing our Table Neuro Training workshop, diving into the Level 2 Home Study Course, and passing her certification test, Angi has taken a big step forward in her clinical skillset. This level challenges therapists to explore deeper questions:
🧠 What does it mean to have true stability?
🤕 Can someone be in pain and still appear “stable”?
🔍 How do we assess functional stability and correct it long-term?
Our Level 2 course helps practitioners understand the long-term effects of deconditioning on bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It emphasizes why our clients move the way they do and gives therapists the tools to interpret each person’s movement history with a clinical lens. You’ll walk away understanding how to create a strong, stable, and adaptable body—from the table to active movement therapy.
If you’re a therapist who’s serious about helping people move better, feel better, and function at a higher level—it’s time to get certified.
Paul's on his way to Olympia, WA to teach our Upper Body course this weekend. This class focuses on restoring back, shoulder and neck mechanics, addressing nerve entrapments, and improving overall movement and function.
Join us next Friday at 11:30 AM EST, we’re diving deep into the hidden consequences of bodybuilding — and how it affects your gut, spine, and core.
🧠 With our client — a bodybuilder and Med student — we’ll explore:
The effects of compression on intestinal and digestive health
Why back pain is rampant in physique athletes
What six-packs hide: core dysfunction and poor neuromuscular control
w/ Live assessments, corrective strategies, and practical discussion!

This post has been a while in the making but never too late. Robin has had a lot going on with moving and updating her business! Congrats on your journey Robin!
"Physiokinetix has been the missing piece for my practice. Since 2021 I’ve attended several of Paul’s workshops. The pain management research presented is fascinating and his evidence-based program immediately applicable to my client base. My verbal and physical assessments are much more thorough, table treatments more efficient. Using Level 1 and Table Neuro Training progressions in sessions has made me a more effective therapist, and more confident in helping people achieve their movement goals.
Physiokinetix empowers clients to take responsibility in their journey to pain-free living. Mobility training shows clients they can move in ways they thought they couldn’t, challenge themselves in a supportive environment, and learn how to mediate pain on their own without depending on me, other practitioners, or medication to some degree. I will continue to apply PKT Mobility Training to help clients change their relationship with their pain, help them build autonomy over it, and continuously discover the amazing things their bodies CAN do, instead of what they can’t.”

Physiokinetix Training (PKT) is a series of specific, functional, corrective exercises and movement techniques designed to be used as a self-care system for pain management, or as a progressive workout routine to help move people closer to their ultimate performance goals. By combining these two systems, massage therapists, personal trainers, physical therapists and chiropractors are better able to align, balance and neurologically re-educate the neuromyoskeletal system to create long lasting, life changing effects.
From competitive athletes to the elderly, this brain-body approach enables you to teach your clients cutting-edge home, retraining, progressive exercise routines to help restore function in those suffering from conditions such as degenerative joint disease, scoliosis, chronic sports injuries, and sensory motor amnesia. By working with the body’s innate equilibrium/reflexes, PKT reduces pain and enhances athletic performance by restoring lost mobility, stability, balance, and strength.
The PKT step-by-step progressive approach stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by reducing systemic inflammation, increasing hyaluronic acid production, improving joint mobility and stability, increasing resting metabolic rate, improving insulin resistance, enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness, increases power across all 3 planes of movement and add everyday performance where its never been before.
Learn to quickly identify and correct neurologically weak strain patterns, which are contributing to your client’s neurophysiologic deterioration. The PKT goal is to elevate your clients from a primal state of movement to a performance-based model regardless of age or physical condition. Be the go-to therapist in your community by incorporating Myoskeletal Therapy with Paul Kelly’s innovative brain and performance based Physiokinetix Training.
Become certified in the complete level one routine with strength modifiers and be competent in teaching your clients the importance behind these exercises.
“Exercise should be fun and painless. This progressive program will take you from pain to performance.”
– Paul Kelly
