Abstract

Krishna's Kinetikinetic Manual Therapy�?® (KKMT�?®) is the latest school of thought in manual therapy founded by Dr. Krishna N Sharma, a Physiotherapist from India. KKMT�?® Joint Mobilization is a part of KKMT�?® as a whole. The KKMT�?® protocol includes assessment, mobilization and prevention. The mobilization techniques are based on the following principles: 1) Proper arthrokinematic motion and homeostatic kinetic forces are essential for proper and smooth osteokinematic motion. 2) Homeostatic kinetics of the joint is important to maintain static and dynamic alignment of a joint. The homeostatic kinetic forces help the joint come back in its proper alignment after a motion. The factors that produce and govern the homeostatic kinetics of joint are: a) Local/ Intrinsic factors: e.g. ligament, cartilage, meniscus, etc. b) Global/Extrinsic factors: e.g. muscles, fascia, gravity, etc. 3) Limitation or restrictions in the arthrokinematic motion can be restored by facilitating homeostatic kinetics of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The techniques to be covered during the 2 days of hands on workshop shall be Joint Gaping�?®, Functional Articular Rolling�?® and 3D Gliding�?® of the peripheral joints. The students will be certified by the Academy of Krishna's Kinetikinetic Manual Therapy, India.
