Kinetic Physical Therapy Institute

We are Minnesota's first Postural Restoration Clinic. All therapist are certified in these advanced techniques. Appointments are for 1 hour to give you the care you deserve.

Our approach addresses any problems with underlying biomechanics which can often lead to pain or functional limitation. All mechanical influences on the body that restrict movement and contribute to improper joint and muscle position are examined and taken into consideration. This type of in-depth biomechanical assessment allows accurate diagnosis of any underlying structural issues that may be contributing to a patient's often complicated or chronic problem. Postural Restoration is based on anatomical asymmetry and patterns of muscle imbalances that develop due to postural habits, injuries, work, and other influences.

One of the goals of Postural Restoration is to regain plausible symmetry and optimize it during functional activity. When the body is more balanced there is less stress placed upon joints and soft tissue structures and movement can occur with greater ease and efficiency. Restoring this balance is done by using individualized exercises and techniques to retrain the neuromuscular system.
