Kinesiology Old Strathcona

Supporting movement, recovery, and long-term health

Kinesiology is the science of human movement, specializing in assessing and improving how the body functions. It plays an essential role in addressing musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that can affect mobility and performance.

Your therapist will take a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing biomechanics, posture, and overall movement patterns to identify imbalances or limitations that may contribute to pain, injuries, or reduced function.

Through customized exercise programs, therapeutic techniques, and patient education, kinesiology helps improve physical performance, support rehabilitation, and enhance overall well-being. This service can be especially valuable for recovery after injury and for maintaining mobility, helping you regain strength and confidence in your body’s movement.

What to Expect During Your Kinesiology Appointment

If you’re looking to rehabilitate an injury, correct posture or gait imbalances, and improve overall mobility, Kinesiology in Old Strathcona is the right service for you. This treatment focuses on strengthening the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems to restore function and balance.

Your session will begin with a detailed interview to review your health history, past injuries, daily activities, and lifestyle goals. You’ll also undergo a thorough hands-on assessment that may include range of motion (ROM), strength, and orthopedic testing. Based on this evaluation, your therapist will identify barriers within your body and outline a personalized rehabilitation plan.

Your treatment plan will address these issues to help restore balance and function. You may be asked to wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to allow for ease of movement.

During your appointment, your therapist may incorporate movement, exercise, stretching, soft tissue techniques, palpation, or tapotement. Communication is key—your therapist will check in regularly to adjust techniques and ensure your comfort and progress.

After your session, you’ll receive tailored advice on remedial exercises and stretching to support your recovery. Your therapist may also recommend additional treatments or strategies to help you stay on track with your rehabilitation goals. A follow-up appointment will likely be scheduled to monitor your progress and keep you moving forward.

Other Things You Should Know About Your Kinesiology Appointment in Old Strathcona

f you’re preparing for your Kinesiology session in Old Strathcona, here are some helpful tips to make the most of your appointment:

  1. Arrive a little early: Plan to arrive a few minutes before your scheduled time. This allows you to complete any necessary paperwork and get settled before your session begins.

  2. Eat a light meal: Avoid heavy meals before your appointment, as a full stomach can make it harder to move comfortably. At the same time, don’t arrive on an empty stomach—having a light meal an hour or two before your session works best.

  3. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and after your treatment. Staying hydrated helps flush out toxins released during your session and reduces the chance of soreness.

  4. Wear comfortable clothing: Loose-fitting or athletic clothing is ideal to allow for easy movement. Depending on the type of assessment or treatment, you may be asked to adjust what you’re wearing, but always to your comfort level.

  5. Communicate openly: Share any concerns, discomfort, or specific goals with your therapist. This helps them tailor your treatment and ensure you’re getting the maximum benefit from your session.

  6. Take it easy afterward: Give your body time to rest and recover following your session. Avoid intense exercise or strenuous activity immediately after treatment to allow your body to adjust.

  7. Follow aftercare advice: Your therapist may recommend specific stretches, exercises, or follow-up treatments. These guidelines are designed to support your progress and help you achieve lasting results.

By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll be better prepared to get the most from your Kinesiology appointment in Old Strathcona.
