What is Biokinetics?
Bio = Life Kinetic = motion
Biokinetics is movement-based therapy, where selected exercises are prescribed for injury rehabilitation, chronic disease management, enhancement of physical health and performance.
A biokineticist completes the clinical team of practitioners, typically working in the final-phase of a patient's rehabilitation process. We address the functional demands for safe participation in your desired activities, as well as environmental factors that might contribute to re-injury or disease.
The first consultation typically involves:
-
Discussing your medical history, the presenting problem and physical demands of your daily life.
-
A physical assessment of the affected area and functional movement, as it relates to performing your daily activities.
-
A prescribed treatment plan which considers the appropriate timeline, your environment, lifestyle and functional goals.
Comfortable exercise clothes are recommended for ease of movement.
