Kinesiology

movement rehab that meets you where you are

Assess. Align. Move.

What to expect

During an appointment you can expect your Kinesiologist to complete a thorough health history and generate rapport regarding your goals for the treatment. Your Kinesiologist will conduct an assessment which might include strength, flexibility, mobility, gait, blood pressure, or heart rate. After the assessment, your kinesiologist will discuss the findings of the assessment and generate a personalized treatment plan. The treatment plan will utilize both active (exercise) and passive (manual) therapies to improve movement, injury and dysfunction. 

 
Benefits of Kinesiology

There are many reasons why a Kinesiologist may be the right fit for you and your concerns. You may want to see a Kinesiologist if your injuries or dysfunctions require both active and passive rehabilitation protocols. That way, we can address the issue using both manual techniques (mobilizations) and rehabilitative exercise intervention within the same appointment.

There are two ways kinesiology helps:

  1. Addressing injuries or dysfunctions with assessment assessment and treatment using mobilization, clinical exercise intervention, kinesiotaping, and more.
  2. Helping patients living with diabetes, thyroid, cancer, long COVID, or lifestyle related illness implement exercise protocol that is safe and effective. Exercise intervention can be effective in slowing the rate of disease progression, helping manage symptoms of various illnesses, and can help patients recover from many illnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

​What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is “the scientific study of human movement, performance and function” (coko.ca). Kinesiologists use evidence-based practice to prevent and rehabilitate injury, illness and disease. Kinesiologists are Regulated Health Care Professionals governed by the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario.  

Kinesiology services are not covered by OHIP, however some extended health insurance plans cover Kinesiology. If Kinesiology is not covered by your extended health insurance, or you do not have insurance, you can claim Kinesiology services on your annual taxes. 

Our Kinesiologist collaborates with our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists (PFP) to best serve your needs. After completing an assessment with a PFP, the findings of the assessment will be communicated with our Kinesiologist. They will use this information to implement rehabilitative, preventative, and exercise based protocols.
