With Fulcrum Therapy’s integrative approach, kinesiologists work closely with physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage therapy professionals to supplement your rehab through stretch and exercise prescription to help you reach your goals fastests.

WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY?

Kinesiology is the study and science of human movement and biomechanics, exercise prescription and injury prevention. All kinesiologists have graduated a 4 year bachelors degree program from an accredited institution and are well versed with the science of human movement and exercise therapy.

Kinesiology sessions are private individualized treatment sessions led by a registered kinesiologist to focus on body movement mechanics, proper stretching and recovery exercises as well as improving strength and muscle mass.

In the initial visit, the kinesiologist will ask you a series of questions to learn more about you as a person, your goals and fitness level, she will walk you through a series of motion tests to better understand your body’s limitations and challenges. An individualized program is then designed for you, appropriate for your fitness level and goals aiming towards helping you move better and feeling stronger or more flexible, whatever your goal may be.
