Kinetic Performance Academy
KPA is a Neuro-Kinetic Training (NKT) facility and online coaching solution that goes beyond traditional physical therapy. NKT offers a holistic, full-body approach to problem-solving, focusing on reprogramming the body at the neural level.
At KPA, we believe no injury or joint issue should be treated in isolation. The root causes of both injury and success—whether in athletics or everyday life—are deeply connected to neural learning processes. We teach your body and mind to master movement, empowering you to achieve lasting physical health and peak performance.
Neuro-Kinetic Training
Kinematic Position Optimization
Joint loads are directly related to surface area: the larger the surface area used in your movements, the less your chances of injury.
Consider that elephants, which share the same ligaments, tendons, and cartilage with humans, can run for decades on their knees despite their massive weight. If a two-ton elephant can manage this, we should be able to walk down stairs without experiencing pain.
As the physics of a joint's fulcrum shifts throughout a movement, muscle engagement must adapt dynamically to maintain equilibrium and ensure joints are in the optimal position to absorb forces.Neuromyo Kyronetic Training (NKT) minimizes the risk of mechanical joint failure by optimizing kinematic positioning to effectively handle the force-velocity curves of movement.
Neuron Circuit Entanglement
As your body experiences trauma or repetitive motion, it begins to adopt dysfunctional movement patterns. Correcting these patterns involves more than just strengthening and stretching; it requires reprogramming the mind-muscle connection for all your daily movements.
The exercises you'll perform utilize reciprocal inhibition to alter the motor unit recruitment threshold—the sensitivity level at which a muscle's neuron engages—across various muscles in the body. This process occurs through several mechanisms:
Increased Fascia Density: Specific areas of increased fascia density enhance neuron engagement by boosting calcium uptake. The denser the fascia, the greater the muscle engagement.
Chronic Adaptive Synaptogenesis: As neuron circuits in the cerebellum become entangled, your cerebellum is pushed to its limits, forcing the development of new neuronal connections. This adaptive response helps rewire dysfunctional patterns.
Once the correct circuits are activated, targeted strength and conditioning exercises are used to reinforce these new patterns and prevent a relapse into old, dysfunctional ones. This comprehensive approach ensures lasting improvements in movement and function.
Human movement is a remarkable feat of neural precision. When you decide to take a drink of water, your motor cortex sends a command to your cerebellum, which then seamlessly coordinates a complex sequence of muscle engagements to lift the bottle and satisfy your thirst.
However, the body naturally seeks the path of least resistance. Over time, the cerebellum begins to favor certain muscle patterns while neglecting others. This imbalance in the kinetic chain will reinforce itself, leading to muscle atrophy and, more critically, neural desensitization in the underutilized areas.
Our training targets the brain first, reigniting these dormant pathways and gradually optimizing the cerebellum's—and your body's—full potential. Neuro-Kinetic Training (NKT) begins with basic kinetic circuit activation and progressively advances to increase the recruitment threshold of these circuits. Our ultimate goal is to surpass the strength and efficiency of old, improper patterns, restoring balance and unlocking your movement potential.

Gardner
In my first semester of grad school, I lost everything. I went from a confident D1 athlete and a top student in my class to relying on painkillers to hobble out of my room. After five surgeries to attempt the repair of burst vertebral discs, bone spurs, and ligament tears, there was no end in sight.
At that point in my life, I was newly married and financially strained. I faced a stark choice: surrender to a life of disability and become a burden to my wife and family, or fight to reclaim my life.
I chose to fight.This treatment represents a decade of refined neuromuscular training that I built from the ground up to take me from a life of pain and relentless fatigue to a top-tier performer.
The journey transformed me, both mentally and physically, in ways I never expected. I went from being a cripple to lifting at a professional level, running and jumping at an elite standard, and achieving feats beyond any surgeon's expectations, despite the extensive damage I had endured. The benefits were not just physical. I now had the energy and zeal for life that I hadn’t seen since high school.
I knew I needed to share this with as many people as I could reach.
If you aspire to excel in any pursuit, this is a surefire way to maximize your physical and mental potential. Your body can achieve incredible things when given the right opportunity - more than I ever imagined at the start or this journey.
