The KC Process

Our Process will help you to:

• Assess, diagnose & classify movement in terms of pain and disability from a motor control perspective.
• Have available at your fingertips a large range of motor control and movement retraining strategies to establish optimal functional control.
• Use a clinical reasoning framework to prioritise the decision-making challenges that movement therapists experience in contemporary practice.
• Use fine-tuned observation and palpation skills to monitor recruitment and control of movement.
• Understand and interpret the different aspects of 'core stability' and how 'core stability' fits into rehabilitation.
• Integrate manual therapy and physiotherapy techniques and modalities and pain education into movement and motor control.
• Use the KC Motor Control Rating System as a clinical assessment tool to identify deficiencies and reassess improvements in motor control efficiency.
• Integrate non-functional motor control strategies into functional movement.
• Identify and retrain uncontrolled movement at any joint in the body.

The KC Process will help you develop a clinical reasoning process to help you provide a diagnosis of movement dysfunction based on four key criteria:

• Site and Direction of uncontrolled motion
  • site & direction of uncontrolled movement
  • uncontrolled translation
  • myofascial & articular restrictions
  • aberrant guarding responses

• Diagnosis of  pain sensitive tissue(s) (linked to pathology)

• Diagnosis of pain mechanisms
  • peripheral nociceptive
  • neurogenic sensitisation

• Assessment of contextual factors
  • environmental factors
  • personal factors
