Kinesiology is important to your health
Professional (Practicing) Kinesiologists provide you with unique and valuable services that contribute to your health and well being. We work closely with you and other healthcare practitioners to help prevent and treat illness or injury; improve physical performance; manage the delivery of your individual healthcare plan; provide support in your rehabilitation and wellness management; and more.
