New Service Alert! Registered Kinesiology
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, combining principles of anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, and psychology to understand how the body moves and functions. In practice, a Kinesiologist assesses movement, muscle function and posture using specialized techniques to identify imbalances, weaknesses, and patterns that may be affecting an individual’s physical health and performance.
Kinesiology can help individuals by identifying and addressing the root causes of pain, movement restrictions, or physical dysfunctions. It is valuable in developing personalized exercise and rehabilitation programs that enhance mobility, improve strength, reduce pain and prevent injury. By understanding the body’s mechanics, kinesiologists can help individuals achieve better posture, flexibility and overall function, whether they are recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, returning to exercise, building a fitness routine or optimizing athletic performance.
