#2 – Unlocking the Body: The Power of Neurokinetic Therapy with Kyle Horvath
Manage episode 488809563 series 3669003
What if your pain wasn’t the problem — but a message?
In this illuminating conversation, physiotherapist and modern healer Kyle Horvath guides us through the art and science of Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT), where movement reveals memory and the body’s compensation patterns tell the deeper story.
We explore how pain often arrives last — as the final signal in a long-forgotten chain of injuries, imbalances, and survival strategies. Kyle shares his journey from cookie-cutter rehab to becoming a mentor in a method that asks not just what’s wrong, but why.
With metaphor, insight, and heart, this episode invites you to look beyond your symptoms, challenge old protocols, and learn how to move in a way that restores harmony to your system.
Whether you’re in pain or simply ready to move better — this is a masterclass in listening to the body’s intelligence.
