Kinesiology
Professional (Practicing) Kinesiologists provide you with unique and valuable services that contribute to your health care and treatment. Our kinesiologists work closely with you and other healthcare practitioners to:
- Help prevent and treat illness or injury;
- Improve physical performance;
- Manage the delivery of your individual health care plan;
- Provide support in your rehabilitation and wellness management.
We can act as a bridge to transition you from clinic-based treatment to your home and your activities of daily living (sports, community, and work activities). Our work is to help you improve the reintegration process following illness or injury.
Kinesiologists specialize in exercise therapy helping those who suffer from musculoskeletal injuries. By working one-on-one with patients, we can help our clients overcome pain and injury. Our kinesiologists use their background in science, anatomy, biomechanics, psychology and neuroscience to help clients resolve muscular imbalances to help alleviate any symptoms they are experiencing and rehabilitate post injury.
The primary role of a kinesiologist is to evaluate physical activity, function & movement patterns to recommend and deliver solutions for health, exercise, sport, work and social settings.
What to expect on your first visit
Our Kinesiologists work one-on-one with you in our open rehab space, using a variety of exercise and health equipment to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. We recommend bringing comfortable workout attire to all your kinesiology visits.
