What is KCR?

Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) is a gentle system of mobilizations and stretches that brings the entire body back into balance. Developed by Scottish physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert in 1990, KCR follows a precise sequence designed to release tension and restore alignment throughout the entire kinetic chain.

This medically recognized approach works quickly to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing process. By addressing the body as a connected system, KCR creates a profound and lasting sense of balance, ease, and wellbeing.

KCR is non-invasive, deeply relaxing, and suitable for people of all ages. Many clients experience relief from chronic issues such as back pain, hip and knee discomfort, shoulder tension, anxiety, trauma and much more. Simple yet highly effective, KCR acts like a reset for the whole body—supporting recovery, improving movement, and promoting long-term wellbeing.

Testimonials

I'd been suffering with constant back and neck pain for many years. After treatment I didn't feel any pain. I felt more balanced and much lighter. This has been a gamechanger and the effects are mind blowing.
Helena Newman, Cornwall, UK

KCR is the must-have therapy session we've all been needing and didn't know existed! The session is calming, fulfilling and achieves a glorious lightness in the body. Overall I felt rejuvenated and balanced, a full-body reset that lasted long after the session was complete.
Christine McCarthy, Marathon Runner Boston, USA

After trying everything, in just one KCR session, my spine feels the most stable it's felt in 10 years - since I injured my back. I'm glad that I've found it.
Chris, Entrepreneur and Surfer, Samara, Costa Rica

I had the opportunity to take the KCR course in Samara, and I can tell you it was a super experience, and the results are incredible, helping us improve our quality of life.
Katherine Enriquez - Physiotherapist, Costa Rica

Learning KCR from Kim was a rich experience. Kim's delivery of the material was infused with confidence and good humour which immediately put us at ease as we set out to cover 2 days of intense learning. Not only was Kim a patient, clear, and encouraging instructor, she also kept a perfect pace going through the curriculum. I never felt bored or rushed. Kim brought an infectious blend of reverence and enthusiasm to this workshop; she clearly loves and believes in the healing power of KCR and now we do as well!
Lisa Frede, Therapist, Yarrow, B.C.
