PHYSIOTHERAPY LED KINESIOLOGY

‍What is Kinesiology?

‍

Kinesiology is based on the premise that movement is essential to human health and wellbeing. Sessions are exercise based and designed to improve function. Kinesiologists work with people of all ages and abilities to help them move more effectively and prevent injuries.

‍

Why Physiotherapy led?

Physiotherapy led kinesiology sessions are kinesiology sessions overseen by a Physiotherapist. Imagine a personal training session through the lens of a healthcare professional. The kinesiologist and Physiotherapist work closely together to generate a unique exercise program created specifically for you after a thorough assessment. They continue to collaborate with one another throughout your sessions if exercises in your program need to be changed as improvements are made.

Who can benefit from Kinesiology?

‍

In short, everyone can benefit from kinesiology! If you’re looking to improve your overall health, reduce chronic pain, heal from an injury, or simply want to learn how to move better, sessions with a kinesiologist will be of value to you. Additionally, kinesiology can help improve balance, boost immune function, and prevent future injuries. Our kinesiologists are skilled in injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation. Depending on your goal, sessions are tailored to improve mobility, strength, conditioning, and/or return-to-activity/sport. Whether you're recovering from an injury, car accident, or simply want to optimize your performance, kinesiology can support you in reaching your goals.
