About the treatment
What is kinesiology and active rehab?
Kinesiology is the study of human movement. A kinesiologist uses exercise to help you recover from injury, manage pain, and build strength, endurance and confidence. It is often called active rehab, because you do the work while your kinesiologist guides, coaches and progresses each step.
Kinesiologists typically hold a university degree in kinesiology or a related field. They often work alongside physiotherapists, picking up once you are ready to move from early treatment into building capacity for work, sport and daily life.
Active rehab is a common part of recovery after a car accident or workplace injury, and is also used for long-term conditions, deconditioning after illness, and performance goals.
What treatment may include
Exercise prescription
A structured program of strength, mobility, balance and conditioning exercises built around your assessment.
Supervised training
One-on-one sessions where your kinesiologist coaches technique and adjusts the load as you go.
Graded activity
Gradually increasing the amount and difficulty of activity, so your body adapts without unnecessary flare-ups.
Work and sport conditioning
Exercises that mirror the demands of your job or sport, such as lifting, carrying or running drills.
Home and gym programs
A plan you can follow on your own, with clear instructions and progressions.

Before your visit
Good to know.
- Wear athletic clothing and supportive shoes you can exercise in, and bring water.
- Let your kinesiologist know about any heart, lung or other health conditions before you start.
- Some muscle soreness after new exercises is normal. Sharp or worsening pain is not — tell your kinesiologist.
- If you have an ICBC or WorkSafeBC claim, bring your claim number so our team can help with the paperwork.
