David Weinstock codeveloped NeuroKinetic Therapy in 1987. He uses this technique to treat neck and back injuries, TMJ, and carpal tunnel syndrome. In 1986 he cofounded Institute of Conscious BodyWork - Alive and Well, where he taught until 2007. He currently lives and works in Corte Madera, California.
“Among the numerous volumes of so-called therapeutic manuals in the
field of neuromuscular assessment and treatment, few truly meet the
dual standard of providing skill enhancement while resting on a
firm scientific foundation. David Weinstock’s NeuroKinetic Therapy
not only meets this standard but raises it to a new level.
Combining anatomical detail with superb illustrations and photos,
the book carefully guides the practitioner in learning this subtle
but very powerful form of therapy.… What a joy it is to move away
from repetitive treatment to truly unwind the effects of injury,
stress, and poor posture in our patients.”
—Steven Katz, DC, Katz Chiropractic, Mill Valley, California
“David Weinstock’s book enables both beginning and experienced
manual therapists to expand on their assessment skills and to
determine their subsequent treatment strategy. This extremely
organized book filled with beautiful photos and illustrations helps
to guide practitioners through a more specific and meaningful
approach to manual muscle testing. Weinstock brings together his
incredible breadth of knowledge and experience in neuromuscular
reeducation and manual therapy in this well-written, easy-to-follow
book.”
—Cindy Lewton Dehan, physical therapist, Active Marin Physical
Therapy, Larkspur, California
“Finally a manual written in accessible terms with end user
results. The photos are clear and concise. Weinstock captures the
essence and extreme importance of muscle testing for any physical
practice. I have no doubt that this book will become a bible for
all types of movement core therapists and educational programs. I
have added it to the list of required reading for all students
enrolled in our pilates certification programs.”
—Stacy Allegro, director, Fit First Pilates, Corte Madera,
California
“NeuroKinetic Therapy is one of the best manual therapy
instructional manuals available. The layout and photos make it easy
to follow and understand. It is a great tool and will be useful in
my practice, complimenting my work with chiropractic, Active
Release Techniques, and Egoscue exercise.”
—Bruce Rizzo, DC, ART, My Chiro Care, Berkeley, California
“NeuroKinetic Therapy is an invaluable tool that will greatly
enhance a personal trainer’s repertoire and level of expertise.
Clients often come to trainers with old injuries that have
subsequently created compensatory patterns or muscular imbalances.
NeuroKinetic Therapy provides detailed instructions for helping
clients regain the muscular control and balance to perform to their
potential. Easy to follow and understand, the book shows the
trainer how to accurately and effectively assess and test clients.
The book’s photographs allow the trainer to know precisely where to
place pressure and how the client needs to be positioned so that
the muscle test is effective. This manual is a great compliment to
any trainer’s library.”
—David Phillips, CES, NASM certified personal trainer, Fit Bridge,
Mill Valley, California
“Muscle testing is used in many disciplines but there has not been
consistency in how it is performed. In his new book NeuroKinetic
Therapy, David Weinstock clearly demonstrates this technique in a
succinct and thorough manner. He covers testing of the individual
muscles with clear images, including their anatomical origin,
insertion, and actions. This book should be a part of any soft
tissue specialist’s library.”
— Douglas Kyle, DC, DABCO, ART, Marin Spine and Sport, Corte
Madera, California
“NeuroKinetic Therapy clearly and thoroughly outlines muscle
testing techniques along with related anatomy, but it is its use
with the NeuroKinetic Therapy protocol that makes it a step up from
massage and strengthening models more traditionally applied. I
defer to David for those difficult to unravel pain patterns, both
professionally and personally, and always with success.”
—Caryl Sircus, physical therapist, Aquatic Therapy Associates, San
Rafael, California
“Both concise and clear, this book breathes rehabilitation and
therapeutic alignment. For a yoga instructor it provides a deeper
skill set and knowledgeable platform from which to work and teach.
It can greatly assist your students’ structural integrity as well
as provide the capacity to heal any trauma that may be restricting
the full range of motion or causing pain. This book is a
treasure!”
—James Higgins, yoga instructor, Yoga Studio, Mill Valley,
California
