Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, focusing on the prevention, treatment, and management of injuries, as well as the promotion of overall health and wellness. Kinesiology professionals use a variety of techniques, including exercise, movement, and physical activity, to help individuals achieve their physical goals, recover from injuries, and improve their overall health.

Research in the field of physical therapy and kinesiology has shown that exercise and movement can be highly effective in treating a wide range of injuries and conditions. For example, a 2021 study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found that a progressive resistance training program was effective in improving physical function and reducing pain in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Another study published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity in 2020 found that a multimodal exercise program was effective in improving physical function and reducing fall risk in older adults.

Kinesiology can also be effective in treating neurological conditions, such as stroke and Parkinson's disease. A 2021 study published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation found that a kinesiology-based therapy program was effective in improving upper limb function and reducing motor impairments in individuals with stroke. Another study published in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease in 2020 found that a kinesiology-based exercise program was effective in improving gait and balance in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Overall, kinesiology is a highly evidence-based field that utilizes the latest research and techniques to help individuals achieve their physical goals, recover from injuries, and improve their overall health and wellness.

We’re not physiotherapists, but we specialize in kinesiology, which focuses on improving movement, strength, and overall physical function through exercise, movement analysis, and injury prevention.

The key difference is that physiotherapists are trained to diagnose injuries and medical conditions, and they often use modalities like shockwave therapy, dry needling, and other techniques to treat pain, improve mobility, and aid recovery. Physiotherapists focus on rehabilitation, especially when dealing with acute injuries or conditions that require specialized medical intervention.

As kinesiologists, our focus is on improving your movement and physical performance through personalized exercise programs. We assess movement patterns, design rehab plans, and help with injury prevention and recovery. While we don’t diagnose injuries or use modalities like physiotherapists, we’re great at helping you move better, get stronger, and recover through targeted exercise.

If you need diagnosis or hands-on treatments like shockwave or needling, a physiotherapist might be the right choice. But if you're looking to improve your movement, prevent injury, or rehabilitate through exercise, we can definitely help!

As a mobile kinesiology service, we bring all equipment to the client's home. Our approach is designed to provide a convenient and comfortable experience for our clients. During a session, our kinesiologist will work together with the client to assess their physical function and environment, as well as to establish their individualized treatment plan based on their unique needs and goals.

The initial session will typically involve a comprehensive assessment of the client's physical function, which may include tests and measurements to assess strength, range of motion, flexibility, balance, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. Based on the assessment, the kinesiologist will work with the client to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to their individual needs and goals. The treatment plan will typically include exercises and techniques aimed at improving physical function, reducing pain, and promoting overall health and wellness.

Throughout the course of treatment, the kinesiologist will work closely with the client to monitor their progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure that they are on track to achieve their goals. Our goal is to create a collaborative and supportive environment that helps our clients achieve their physical goals and improve their overall quality of life.

As a mobile kinesiology service with extensive experience in treating a wide range of injuries and conditions, we have helped many clients achieve significant improvements in their physical function and overall quality of life. Here are some examples of the types of injuries and conditions we treat and the results our clients have achieved:

Orthopedic injuries: We have helped clients recover from a variety of orthopedic injuries, such as muscle strains and sprains, frozen shoulder, and plantar fasciitis. Our approach typically involves a combination of exercise and manual therapy techniques aimed at reducing pain, improving range of motion, and restoring function. Our clients have achieved significant improvements in their physical function and quality of life, allowing them to return to their favorite activities and hobbies.

Chronic conditions: We have worked with clients who are living with chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. Our approach typically involves a combination of exercise, movement, and education aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility, and promoting overall health and wellness. Our clients have achieved significant improvements in their physical function, allowing them to live more independently and engage in activities they enjoy.

Neurodegenerative diseases: We have helped clients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Cerebral Palsy, improve their physical function and quality of life. Our approach typically involves a combination of exercise and movement techniques aimed at improving motor function, reducing tremors and other symptoms, and promoting overall health and wellness. Our clients have achieved significant improvements in their physical function, allowing them to live more independently and engage in activities they enjoy.

Stroke recovery: We have worked with clients who are recovering from stroke to help them regain physical function and independence. Our approach typically involves a combination of exercise and movement techniques aimed at improving motor function, reducing motor impairments, and promoting overall health and wellness. Our clients have achieved significant improvements in their physical function and quality of life, allowing them to engage in activities they enjoy and participate more fully in their daily lives.

Our sessions are typically between 30-60 minutes in length, and the duration is based on exercise tolerance and the client's desired intensity level. Research suggests that to achieve significant progress, it is recommended to schedule 1-3 sessions per week. However, we work with our clients to develop a customized treatment plan that takes into account their specific needs and goals. We understand that every client is different, and we strive to provide a personalized approach to help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our mobile kinesiology service costs between $60 - $100 per session, depending on the duration of the session and travel involved. While most Canadian health insurance plans do not cover kinesiology, we recommend checking with your insurance provider as certain plans may provide coverage. Additionally, kinesiology sessions can be written off as a health expense on your taxes. We strive to provide affordable and accessible services to our clients, and we are committed to helping them achieve their health and wellness goals.

Our team of kinesiologists is highly qualified and experienced. All of our kinesiologists hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Kinesiology or a related field and are registered with the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists. They also hold various certifications in areas such as exercise prescription, functional movement assessments, and manual therapy techniques. Our kinesiologists have extensive experience in treating a wide range of injuries and conditions, including orthopedic injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, chronic conditions, neurodegenerative diseases, post-hospitalization recovery, frailty, and severe functional limitations. They are dedicated to providing personalized care and working with clients to achieve their goals.

We have experience treating:

• Osteoporosis

• Arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)

• Falls and balance issues
