Active Rehab & Kinesiology

Active rehabilitation is a kinesiology-driven, exercise-based approach designed for injury recovery and prevention. Kinesiologists play a vital role in assisting individuals with injuries, disabilities, or medical conditions, helping them achieve their health and fitness goals in a safe and progressive manner.

Our kinesiologists specialize in guiding you through recovery from both overuse and acute injuries by incorporating targeted mobility exercises and active rehabilitation strategies. They are equipped to help manage, rehabilitate, and prevent mobility issues that can hinder your body’s movement and functionality, especially following injuries or car accidents.

Active rehabilitation is an exercise-based approach to treatment and rehabilitation.

A typical session with a kinesiologist is comprehensive and tailored to your needs. It includes injury-specific exercises, core and postural stabilization, and overall strengthening techniques. Additionally, you will receive valuable education on the principles of active rehabilitation, proper posture, and effective body mechanics. The ultimate goal of active rehabilitation is to enhance your symptom resolution and promote independence in your recovery through a structured exercise regimen.

Key components of active rehabilitation include:

Therapeutic Exercise: Customized exercises to promote healing and restore function.
Muscle Activation: Techniques to engage and strengthen specific muscle groups.
Exercise Technique: Instruction on proper form to maximize benefits and prevent further injury.
Injury Prevention and Management: Strategies to avoid re-injury and manage existing conditions effectively.
