Kinetic Chain Release (KCR)

Restore Balance. Unlock Potential. Transform Lives.

Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) is a gentle yet powerful system of mobilizations and stretches designed to bring the body back into balance. Developed by Scottish physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert, KCR works through a specific protocol that systematically releases tension and restores alignment across the entire kinetic chain — from head to toe.

This approach is deeply restorative and non-invasive, making it suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions. KCR helps improve posture, ease movement, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Many clients experience significant relief from chronic pain, including issues related to the back, hips, knees, shoulders, and more.

KCR is often described as deceptively simple yet profoundly effective — a holistic reset for the body that can enhance physical performance, support recovery, and promote long-term wellbeing.

Why Learn KCR?

Expand Your Skillset: Add a scientifically peer-reviewed technique to your practice. KCR works beautifully as a standalone service or as a pre-treatment enhancement.

Inclusive Client Experience: Sessions are performed with clients fully clothed, making bodywork accessible to those uncomfortable with traditional massage.

Practitioner-Friendly: The gentle nature of KCR allows you to perform multiple sessions comfortably without strain.

Global Community: Join a growing network of heart-centered practitioners worldwide.

Proven Results: KCR brings relief from many pain-causing conditions and enhances performance in workplaces, sports, everyday living.

Course Overview

This immersive two-day training offers 15 hours of hands-on instruction in the full 23-step Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) protocol. Designed for both beginners and seasoned professionals, the course provides a comprehensive foundation in this powerful, whole-body balancing technique.

Kristen is an LMT licensed in NJ and PA. In 2016, she was trained in Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) directly by Scottish Physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert. In February of 2023, she was one of the first massage professionals trained and certified to teach this protocol in the United States.
“Over the years, I witnessed many clients have positive results from one session of KCR after years of trying different therapies. I would love to see more KCR practitioners and more people receiving KCR throughout the United States.”
