Kinesiology

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology, simply put, is the study of body movement. It entails the use of muscle testing to identify imbalances in the structural, emotional and chemical dynamics. Applications in health care include biomechanics and orthopaedics. Specifically, kinesiologists within the realm of physical rehabilitation, help you to maintain mental and physical health through treatments such as massage, lympatic drainage, reflexotherapy, therapeutic recovery and other techniques.

How can a Kinesiologist help you?

Kinesiologists assist our therapists and chiropractors to provide a full comprehensive treatment plan. They monitor patients to ensure optimal form and movement. They also apply modalities to clients (ice, heat and ultrasound) as well as perform functional evaluations (i.e. Lifting, pushing, pulling, etc.). Given their area of study, Kinesiologists are the ideal professionals to guide patients in exercises, stretches, and weights to help them stay fit, maintain health, and prevent injury. At WPC, they are part of the wholistic approach to your health and well-being.
