The Kestenberg Movement Profile

The Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) is a qualitative assessment tool used to observe and interpret how people move, capturing their emotional and psychological states through body language. It analyzes movement patterns, postures, and gestures to reveal underlying feelings, personality traits, and ways of experiencing the world. Often used in therapy, dance, or education, the KMP helps practitioners understand individuals more holistically by looking at the body’s expressive language, offering insights that can support personal growth, emotional release, or improved functioning.
