Recover Faster with Kinesiology

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance, and bodily mechanics.

A Kinesiologist is a regulated healthcare professional specializing in human anatomy, health sciences, and active physical training methods. They specialize in strengthening your body through targeted active rehabilitation to:

  • Reduce chronic pain and recover from past injuries.

  • Prevent future injuries from occurring during daily life or sports.

  • Restore mobility, stability, and function to your joints and muscles.

1. Initial Kinesiology Assessment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive, head-to-toe assessment lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. During this deep dive, your Kinesiologist will precisely measure and evaluate:

  • Range of Motion (ROM) & Flexibility: Tracking how your joints and muscles move.

  • Strength & Muscle Endurance: Identifying imbalances or areas weakened by injury.

  • Cardiovascular Fitness: Assessing your overall stamina and conditioning.

  • Targeted Injury Testing: Specialized orthopedic tests focused on your specific problem areas.

Documentation Support: Following your assessment, a detailed, medical-grade comprehensive report is drafted. We can seamlessly securely forward this report directly to your referring family doctor, ICBC case manager, or lawyer to support your recovery claim.

2. Your Customized Treatment Plan

Based entirely on your assessment data, your Kinesiologist designs a progressive rehabilitation plan tailored to your physical capabilities, injuries, and personal recovery goals.

Our programs are split into two targeted pathways based on your work status:

  • Work Conditioning Program (If you are currently off work): Intensive rehabilitation designed to prepare your body for the physical demands of your job. Sessions run from 1 to 4 hours per day, 5 times a week, for 4 to 6 weeks.

  • Active Maintenance Program (If you are currently working): Streamlined sessions designed to fit your schedule while actively managing pain and rebuilding strength. Sessions run for 1 hour, 3 times per week.

What’s Included in Every Program:

  • Patient Education: Expert guidance on proper posture, lifting techniques, nutrition, and understanding soft tissue injuries.

  • Core & Extremity Stability: Focused stability exercises engineered to protect your spine and major joints from future re-injury.

  • Home Exercise Program (HEP): A structured, easy-to-follow home routine tailored to safely build your flexibility, strength, and range of motion outside the clinic.

Accident Rehabilitation & Fitness

Our Kinesiologists play an integral role in helping you achieve your fitness and long-term rehabilitation goals. To ensure seamless continuity of care, they work collaboratively with your full medical team, including:

  • Family Physicians and Specialists

  • Physiotherapists

  • Occupational Therapists

  • Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs)

By combining cross-disciplinary expertise, we deliver comprehensive, evidence-based services specifically designed for motor vehicle accident injuries (ICBC claims) and structured return-to-work programs.

Follow-Up Care & Return-to-Work Tracking

Once you begin a gradual return-to-work schedule, your rehabilitation shifts into a supportive maintenance phase.

  • Frequency: Follow-up sessions typically last approximately 1 hour per day, 2 to 3 times per week.

  • Duration: This schedule continues until you successfully return to work on a full-time basis, with subsequent follow-ups transitioned to an “as-needed” schedule.

  • Our Goal: We strive to safely restore your physical capacity so you can return to your regular, full-time employment duties without pain.

  • Medical Oversight: If a recovery stagnates or presents complex medical challenges, problem cases are immediately directed back to the referring doctor for further medical evaluation, diagnostic imaging, or additional specialist referrals.
