Kinesiology

About Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the clinical application of movement science, combining anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise physiology to support rehabilitation, injury and illness prevention, and overall health. In our clinics, kinesiology sessions are guided by trained kinesiologists with registration in the BC Association of Kinesiology. They use targeted exercise prescription to help you move better, reduce pain, and build long-term resilience.

Sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals, and can take place in a gym-based setting or in the pool for aquatic therapy, depending on your condition, comfort, and mobility level. 

Who It's For

Kinesiology is beneficial for people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, preparing for childbirth, or simply looking to improve your physical function, a kinesiology-based approach can support your recovery and long-term health goals.

What to Expect

• Comprehensive Movement Assessment: Evaluation of posture, mobility, stability, strength, and coordination
• Individualized Exercise Programming: Targeted, progressive exercises to address functional limitations or recovery goals
• Supervised Sessions: Guidance of proper technique and safe exercise progressions
• Education and Empowerment: Instruction on movement mechanics, injury prevention, and long-term self-management

Areas of Focus:

• Pre- and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Using exercise to restore strength, mobility, and function before or after orthopedic procedures (e.g., joint replacements, ligament repairs)
• Pre- and Post-Natal Support: Safe, functional exercise to support physical changes during pregnancy and recovery after birth
• Chronic Pain and Injury Recovery: Personalized exercises to address imbalances, reduce discomfort, and restore confidence in movement
• Aquatic Kinesiology ‘Hydrotherapy”: Pool-based exercise programs that reduce joint loading and improve mobility and strength
• Performance and Injury Prevention: Improve biomechanics and physical conditioning for sport, work, or daily life through exercise.
• ICBC Active Rehabilitation programs designed for recovery after motor vehicle accidents. Sessions may include gym and/or hydrotherapy programs. With a valid ICBC claim, 12 sessions are pre-approved within 12 weeks of your injury date.
• Neuro: Specialized exercise therapy for individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or post-stroke recovery. Programs may include gym or aquatic therapy, focusing on mobility, balance, coordination, fall risk reduction and greater independence
