Course Description:

The Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP), is a comprehensive movement assessment tool that detects the presence of both healthy and dysfunctional movement patterns in individuals of all ages. It traces developmentally-based patterns throughout the life span and can be used to describe personality, relational and psychological domains.

Dance/movement therapists and those trained in the KMP can apply its concepts in their clinical/educational work by designing treatment plans and implementing appropriate interventions based on the individual's movement portrait. Goals include helping the individual assess healthy choices and coping skills through accessing strengths and broadening them.
