What is a Kinesiologist

A Kinesiologist (Kin) is someone who specializes in the study of human movement. The field of kinesiology is sometimes known as biomechanics, referencing the idea that it has a heavy focus on looking at the mechanical aspects of human movement, such as the musculoskeletal system and the way in which it works. This field views the body as an interconnected system, and examines the ways in which people move to see how people injure themselves, develop strong bodies, and engage in dance, play, and other types of movement.

Helping people learn to move properly is an important part of the work that the Kinesilogist does. A kinesiologist can show someone various ways to work with the body, rather than against it, and to use the body as a tool to support various tasks. Kinesiologists demonstrate proper stretching and bending, good practice for heavy lifting, and other types of movements for their clients so that they can reduce the risk of injury and strain.

Active Rehab and Funtional Training

Functional training leads to better muscular balance and joint stability, decreasing the number of injuries sustained in an individual's activities of daily living. The benefits from training is the emphasis of the body's natural ability to move in six degrees of freedom. Functional training plays a key role in preparing clients for full and safe return to work, pre-injury activities and sport performance.

Return to Work Coordination 

Return to Work Coordination is the assistance provided to injured workers to remain at or return to work as soon as safely possible after injury. Our Kinesiologists also assist employers to meet their return to work obligations.
