kinesiology
Registered Kinesiologists work with clients to achieve movement independence and pain free movement of the body. We work alongside other health care providers such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and osteopaths to generate an exercise plan that is appropriate for the client.
Kinesiology sessions can address many things including: before and after joint replacement surgeries, pre and post natal strengthening, postural correction and general strength and mobility improvements for happier joints, stronger muscles and easier movement overall.
