KENTRO - Kentro body balance is a technique of gentle centering and balancing movements that stretch, exercise, relax, limber and strengthen every area of the body. Founded by Angelika Thusius, Kentro is based on her observation of people around the world who move with ease into an advanced age. Kentro movements can be practiced by anyone and are easily integrated into everyday activities for muscular and joint relief.
KINETIC CHAIN RELEASE (KCR) - was developed over the past ten years by Hugh Gilbert, P.T. It is a combination of assessment skills, joint mobilizations, soft tissue stretches, and muscle energy techniques and offers a consistent protocol for every patient. It is in essence a method of correcting the vast majority of apparent leg length discrepancies in one treatment.
KINETIC AWARENESS - Developed by dancer/choreographer Elaine Summers, kinetic awareness is a system of bodywork that aims to increase knowledge of the human body by understanding tension as a positive and necessary part of movement affecting health, attitude and emotional well-being. Designed to improve mental image, clients can gain a heightened sensitivity to posture and movement. All parts of the body are encouraged to be free to move in all directions in which it's possible. A goal of kinetic awareness is to free the body so it is always moving away from pain and toward pleasure. There are five phases of awareness, including attention to breathing, simultaneous movement of body parts, level of tension, speed of movement and relation to others.
KODO BODY MASSAGE - The Kodo Massage (means ‘melody’) is a rhythmic body massage incorporating Australian Aboriginal techniques which tone and re-align energy flow, enhancing mind and body balance and wellness. The Aboriginal touch therapy works with the understanding of the body chakra system. The massage itself is performed in a continuous flow using the circular technique that encompasses the principles of the energy of the magnetic field. The massage technique is skin rolling followed by slow relaxing strokes starting with the back of the body to the front.
KOREAN MARTIAL THERAPY - This is an effective deep-tissue modality that includes massage strokes, body movement, stretches, pressure point therapy, yum yang therapy and Korean energy work. Gentle on the practitioner, Korean martial therapy (KMT) may be performed with the client on a table, the floor or in a chair, and may or may not incorporate the use of oils. Derived from Hapkido and Traditional Korean Medicine, KMT began as self-therapy stretches that were found useful for keeping warriors in top condition and helping them recover quickly from injury.
KRIYA MASSAGE - A full body connected, intuitive massage bringing together mind, body and spirit. Done in a relaxing atmosphere with soft lighting and beautiful music. For relief from excess emotional and physical stress.
KRIPALU MASSAGE - The Kripalu bodyworker guides the client into a state of deep relaxation and meditation for the purpose of releasing physical and mental tension. This technique, based on Kripalu yoga, uses specific massage strokes and verbal/nonverbal procedures to aide clients in reconnecting with their body's own healing wisdom.
KRIYA MASSAGE - Developed by Kamala Renner in 1970, is different from any traditional bodywork training because of the emphasis on the intuitive aspect by the practitioner in flowing with the "Kriya" movement while performing the massage. "Kriya" is defined as spontaneous energy movement. Kriya Massage is an art form that integrates the universal, life-affirming flow of energy between the practitioner and client, with any classical massage techniques integrated into the dance. Kriya Massage is a bodywork dance with the individual creating their own style in harmony with four universal forces. The strokes and techniques used in Kriya Massage are a combination of energy work, Swedish, neuromuscular and somato-emotional release work done in a connected smooth pattern. The experience of a Kriya Massage is one of stepping out of time and space as a means of taking inventory of one's condition, then allowing the subconscious to shift and adjust programmed responses to life. The healing quality of Kriya Massage is accomplished by transforming attitudes. Giving, as well as receiving, a Kriya Massage is a regenerating experience.
KUNDALINI ENERGIZATION - This is a form of healing energy in which the objective is to raise the client's Kundalini energy for the purpose of spiritual enlightenment. First, the chakras and energy bodies are thoroughly cleansed and balanced by undergoing Ro-Hun transformational therapy. The therapist then performs non-invasive, light physical touch and manipulation of the chakras and energy bodies through use of the hands. |
