Kinesiologists are human movement specialists who believe it is your right to enjoy movement to its full potential.
Kinesiology is a form of therapy that uses muscle monitoring (biofeedback) to look at imbalances that may be causing disease or dysfunction in the body. They work with people of all ages and physical abilities.
Kinesiologists are experts in how the body moves and play an important role in prevention and treatment of injuries. They use science-based physical activity treatments to treat challenging or painful movement in the body. Their techniques include education and exercise-based therapy.
Kinesiologists frequently work alongside other healthcare professionals to create a bridge between restorative therapy and a healthy, active lifestyle. Your kinesiologist will encourage you to take an active role in understanding where you are, where you want to be and the steps you can take to get there.
