NeuroKinetic Therapy: An Innovative Approach to Manual Muscle Testing Paperback – Illustrated, January 12, 2010

I use this manual to help identify antagonist/agonist relationships for use in Applied Kinesiology, where much of the therapy for structural imbalance treats the opposing muscle to the one the client presents as symptomatic.The anatomical illustrations are very clear, and functional.The manual has little more than the most basic (though useful and succinct) description of the theory and implementation of NeuroKinetic Therapy, and so does not stand on it's own. That's probably not the intent of the book, and it wasn't my expectation or requirement when purchasing it."NeuroKinetic Therapy" is a very clear and useful resource for easily looking up muscles, muscle groups, their motions, their opposing and synergistic muscles, and the region of the spine that stabilizes the motion. I'm not aware of another resource that does this as simply, clearly and concisely as this book does.Don't expect an in depth description of therapeutic protocol and you'll probably be happy with the book.

It's great that they have paperback and kindle version so I can look things up wherever I am. Well written with clear images. I use it all the time and David is just an amazing author and practitioner that the more you read it, the more insight you get from it each time. This book really helped me to prepare for the level one course.

I am definitely a fan of Mr. Weinstock; he has a unique, and well thought-through approach. I have a certificate in massage, and am not a complete novice about anatomy and kinesiology. You would need to know more than I do to get maximum benefit just from this book. Be sure to read Mr. Weinstock's posts on Instagram. They are very informative and clear, and will give you additional insight, beyond what you will get from this book, into what he is doing and why.

Great book for the novice person trying to put all the "pieces together" in understanding muscle interaction. This book provided a self help method to determine a personal muscle problem to better explain to a NKT in doing their assessment on a patient. Book gives clear examples of muscle interaction to assist in preventing future injuries. Well worth it. Did not have to "scan" the Internet for additional help which usually leads to confusion.

Everyone should know these functions about their body. Great technique that every human being should learn and know!

A little disappointed, but I think that is because I expected more of the theory of NKT to be laid out in the book. The book is basically a muscle testing guide for every muscle in the body. That being said I was looking for a short cut to learn more about NKT before taking the courses, this helps a bit but not nearly the amount of detail I was hoping for. Looking forward to learning more though from David and his associates at the NKT seminars.

A very well put together book, not to mention the NKT system itself. With a strong knowledge of anatomy, there shouldn't be another need for any other manual muscle testing book. If I had any criticism, it is that a few of the techniques are not clear between the description and the picture as to what angle or exact position the patients limb needs to be in is not completely clear. Otherwise I am quite satisfied, and I would happily purchase more texts by David Weinstock. In one week I will be working with him in person at his Seattle seminar, and I am quite excited!Thank you David.

David Weinstock's book is one of the best in this complicated field on neuromuscular testing and treatment I've come across. The clear and precise photo's capture a full range of treatment strategies that guides the practitioners in such a simple and easy way to resolve any muscular imbalances and pain patterns. What a relief not only for the client but for the practitioner as well. Bravo, well done ! Thomas Attardi, BS, MA, MBW, San Rafael, California
