Kinesiologist larry MuirKLT consists of exercises that feature multi-plane movements that promote fluid mobility while creating a well-balanced body capable of moving in any direction. KLT™ focuses on training movement patterns that incorporate the entire kinetic chain of the body instead of isolating muscle groups in exercise that don’t serve a functional purpose. This avoids over training of single muscle groups which can lead to imbalances relating to rotator cuff tears and over dominance leading to herniated disc injuries. KLT™ exercises train the muscles and joints of the body to perform synchronously together preventing future shoulder pain and other related overuse injuries.  Whether you are an elite athlete or simply want to increase your movement or overall fitness, KLT is a great way to develop strength and endurance, improve confidence in your coordination, balance and everyday movement as well as sports specific movement patterns. The KLT exercise programme will teach you to train distinct movement patterns, not individual muscles The KLT exercises are fully balanced full-body functional strength and conditioning exercises that use arcs & combinations of movements.At Shelbourne Physiotherapy we offer individually tailored Kinetic Link Training programs for you to carry out in your home with simple and inexpensive resistance bands & equipment or at the gym utilising mostly cables and pulleys.
