"A Healthy Touch"

In a fully functioning body, the coccyx acts as a shock absorber by flexing forward during sitting.
Together, the coccyx and bilateral ischial tuberosities form a weight-bearing tripod that houses the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments.

The coccyx bears more weight when a seated person leans back, so we often see coccydynia clients flex at the hips to shift more weight to the sitz bones. They usually report dull, aching pain emanating from the gluteal cleft just superior of the a**s and sometimes stabbing pain when rising from prolonged sitting.

Learn how to fix and manage your client's coccydynia pain the MAT way!

👋 Check out this 7-minute video clip where I demonstrate MAT for coccyx (tailbone) pain and wait until the end to hear my client's immediate feedback and results.

Posture Matters

This article highlights the effects of having poor posture while using a computer. It's called Upper Crossed Syndrome, where the pecs and traps are tight and the lower traps and rhomboids, plus the neck flexors are weak. NKT recognizes these relationships but tests to determine which ones are neurologically overactive and which underactive.

Awareness is an inside job!

We are phenomenal.

"When discussing any changes in motor organization, it is important to realize that the central nervous system does not operate “in muscles” – a muscle is never activated as a whole. The functional units of the motor system are the so-called motor units. There are several million of these motor units in the human body. They function much like a school of fish that have learned to swim together. Depending on the quality of sensory feedback, these millions of motor units can be individually regulated." This quote from Robert Schleip echoes what we work with in NKT. This article goes on to talk about the fascia as a sensory organ and about its contractile properties.
