The Hugh Gilbert Method

Kinetic Chain Release - Postural Energetics

Kinetic Chain Release is a gentle, full-body treatment created by Scottish physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert that helps reset the body into better alignment. It follows a specific sequence of stretches and joint movements designed to reduce pain, improve posture, and restore balance throughout the body.

You remain fully clothed while your therapist gently guides your body through the sequence. There’s no deep pressure or force—just slow, intentional movements that help unwind tension and allow the body to rebalance itself naturally.

KCR is especially helpful for chronic pain, stiffness, headaches, fatigue, and imbalances caused by injury or poor posture. Many clients feel noticeable relief and improved mobility after just one session.

It’s a simple, effective way to help your body feel more aligned, relaxed, and energized.

Postural Energetics is a gentle yet powerful method to help release held patterns in the body. It’s based on the understanding that posture isn’t just physical—it’s also influenced by stored emotional, mental, and energetic tension.

Using light touch and focused intention, your practitioner supports you in reconnecting with your body’s natural alignment and vitality. Rather than physically manipulating the body, Postural Energetics allows your system to guide the process, often resulting in deep relaxation, clarity, and a renewed sense of ease.

This work invites change from the inside out—supporting both structural realignment and energetic harmony.
