Changes in posture or poor body mechanics may bring about spinal alignment problems and muscle shortening, therefore causing other muscles to be misused and become painful.I use Kinetic Control Movement Therapy Method. The comprehensive process includes assessment, diagnosis, classification and retraining of uncontrolled movement in relation to pain, dysfunction, recurrence of pain and function.
