how kinesiology can help you on the slopes
Needless to say, I obviously think kinesiology is the bees knees. The kind that I practice is an advanced modality developed by Hugo Tobar called NeuroEnergetic Kinesiology (NK) that uses muscle biofeedback and acupressure to identify and release stress from the body. It integrates modern neurological and physiological science with traditional Eastern energy medicine to address emotional, structural, and chemical imbalances. (You can read more on what kinesiology is exactly in a previous blog post.)
I know Hugo is an avid skier and was psyched to see the NK Institute share this recent article in Snow Brains titled “How Neuroenergetic Kinesiology is Changing ACL Recovery for Skiers & Snowboarders” about the impact of his recent work with ACL recovery for skiers and snowboarders. EPIC! This article is a must-read in order to understand what kinesiology is and how it can help support mobility and optimal performance in sports.
What I loved most in this article is how the intention and focus behind the application of kinesiology is so simply and eloquently explained.And I believe it is applicable to many sports, especially high impact ones.
“Tobar’s central thesis applies directly to high-impact sports like skiing and snowboarding: the human body, like any load-bearing bridge, fails at points of stress concentration. Remove the deep-seated neurological stress, and the physical system is free to optimize its natural recovery. Apply structural stress repeatedly without clearing the nervous system’s trauma, and even minor loads become catastrophic over time.”
Definitely read the article if you’re curious to learn more about kinesiology and how it can help you on the slopes, your sport or with ACL recovery. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
hello there, thanks for reading!
I’m Lia, and I’m a kinesiologist dedicated to helping humans move through life with more capacity and connection. Using muscle response testing, I work with your body’s natural responses to identify stressors and imbalances that may be impacting your well-being. My role is to support you in having greater capacity to find balance and ease—physically, emotionally and energetically.
