How can a Kinesiologist help you?

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance and function, and incorporates the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology and neuroscience.

​Kinesiologists work with people of all ages and physical abilities to:

• Treat and prevent injury and disease.
• Improve movement and performance. 

​
​A Kinesiologist is a regulated health professional. Other regulated health professionals you may be familiar with: Nurses (RN), Chiropractors (DC), Physiotherapists (PT) and Massage Therapists (RMT).

​A Registered Kinesiologist (R.Kin) is a human movement professional. They are required to provide evidence based exercise and movement prescription for rehabilitation or performance.

​They are the most qualified fitness professional because they are mandated to report and uphold the highest standards of care.

​A Kinesiologist can only use the title of R. Kin if they have:

• University degree in Kinesiology,
• Passed an entry-to-practice regulatory exam. 
• Maintain their standing with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario.
