Why “Kinected”?

I wanted to convey the message that the whole body is connected. Instead of simply naming the business “connected”—adding the prefix “kine” which translates to “movement” ties perfectly into the field of Massage & Bodywork. The “Kinetic Chain” is a concept used in human biomechanics—which refers to the interconnected system of joints, muscles, and nerves that work together to create movement. When one part of the body moves, it affects other parts of the body in a chain reaction. The main 5 links of the kinetic chain, from bottom to top, include the feet/ankles, knees, hips/pelvis, shoulders, and head/neck. When these links are correctly interacting together, movement is free and easy. When just one of these links is dysfunctional—it affects the rest of the links, resulting in sub-optimal movement eventually leading to pain or injury due to extra stress placed on joints from compensatory patterns.

And while my main focus is on bodywork, to be “connected” has many different meanings—whether it’s physically, mentally, socially, etc. All of these dimensions contribute to the health and wellness of someone and are equally important. I want my clients to feel “Kinected” in all dimensions of life!
