KMI consists of a multi-session protocol of deep, slow myofascial work, coupled with movement re-education. It was developed by Tom Myers who trained in Structural Integration (SI) with Ida Rolf. He developed a concept for the SI work called the Anatomy Trains. Anatomy Trains map the 'anatomy of connection' - the whole body fascial and myofascial connectivity, linking the individual muscles, tendons and bones into functional complexes. KMI involves direct manipulation of the fascia along the Anatomy Train lines to bring about a body-wide balance of minimal tension and maximum movement ability.
KMI can be applied as either a 12-session series working through all the Anatomy Train lines or a 3-session series working through the lower-body, upper-body then unifying the work through the spine. Taster sessions are available too.
KMI is recognised by the IASI (International Association of Structural Integrators), the leading organisational body for Structural Integration.
