Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) is a gentle, powerful bodywork protocol taught by the KCR Academy, designed to restore balance, relieve chronic pain, and enhance overall physical function.
🌿 What Is Kinetic Chain Release (KCR)?
Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) is a systematic, full-body protocol of 23 gentle mobilizations and stretches that realign the body’s musculoskeletal system. Developed by renowned physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert, KCR is based on the principle that the body functions as a connected chain — when one part is out of alignment, it can affect the entire system.
KCR works by identifying and correcting imbalances in the kinetic chain, helping to restore symmetry, improve posture, and reduce strain on muscles and joints. The treatment is non-invasive, suitable for all ages and fitness levels, and can be performed fully clothed.

• Improved posture and alignment: Corrects leg length discrepancies and joint imbalances
• Enhanced mobility and flexibility: Frees up restricted movement patterns
