Kinesiology Appointments

Kinesiology is a regulated, evidence-based healthcare profession focused on the science of human movement. Registered Kinesiologists (RKin, BCAK, CKA-affiliated) complete a four-year university degree in kinesiology, human kinetics, or exercise science, and use objective assessment and exercise-based interventions to prevent and manage injury, improve function, and support rehabilitation.

Appointments typically begin with an initial assessment that includes health history, movement screening, strength and flexibility testing, and goal setting. Treatment - often delivered as active rehabilitation - combines individualized exercise prescription, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, manual techniques, ergonomic and postural coaching, and education on pain management and injury prevention.

Kinesiology can help with musculoskeletal injuries, back and neck pain, post-surgical recovery, return-to-work and return-to-sport rehabilitation, chronic pain, arthritis, concussion recovery, and general conditioning. Care is goal-oriented and active, aiming to restore strength, mobility, and confidence in movement.

In many regions, kinesiology services by registered practitioners are covered by extended health insurance plans, motor vehicle and workplace injury claims, and do not typically require a physician referral.
