What it is and who it suits
At our clinic a kinesiologist runs exercise therapy, also called active rehabilitation. They do not diagnose injuries. They work from your physiotherapist’s assessment or your own goals and turn them into a structured program.
It suits people finishing physio who want to keep progressing, people returning to sport, the gym or a physical job, and anyone nervous about exercise after an injury.
Your first session
Your kinesiologist reviews your history, goals and any physio notes, then runs simple tests of strength, balance, mobility and endurance. These give a starting point to track your progress against.
You try exercises during the session while your kinesiologist coaches your form. Wear clothes and shoes you can exercise in, and bring water. You leave knowing what to do and how often.
Safety and how it fits with physio
Your kinesiologist watches how you respond each session and changes the load to keep the work challenging but manageable. They share updates with your physiotherapist, and anything new or worrying goes back to the physio for assessment.
For work injuries, exercises are built around your job tasks, such as lifting, carrying or standing for long periods.
FAQs
Kinesiology: your questions
What is the difference between a kinesiologist and a physiotherapist?
A physiotherapist assesses movement problems and provides a range of treatments, including hands-on care. A kinesiologist focuses on exercise, coaching you through active rehab and conditioning, often based on your physio’s plan. Many people see both during their recovery.
Is kinesiology part of car accident or WCB rehab?
Often, yes. Active rehab with a kinesiologist is a regular part of car accident and WCB return-to-work programs. What is included depends on your claim, so share your claim number when you book and we will explain the next steps.
Can I do the exercises at home or at my own gym?
Yes. Many people get a version of their program for home or their own gym. Your kinesiologist explains each exercise and the form to watch for, then checks how it went at your next session.
