What is a Kinesiologist?
A kinesiologist is a university educated specialist in human physiology and exercise. Kinesiologists use movement to enhance one's performance as well as to prevent and manage health problems that are related to a sedentary lifestyle. Our downtown Montreal kinesiologist works in conjunction with other health care professionals in order to help restore both physical health and overall well-being.
Why see a Kinesiologist?
There are both short and long term health benefits associated with regular aerobic activity which can positively influence the various systems in your body; such as blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels. It is also important to maintain an overall healthy level of muscle endurance and strength. A healthy muscle mass helps to sustain healthy bone density and is especially important in helping to perform daily tasks, such as carrying grocery bags or gardening. Flexibility is another essential component of our physical health that helps one complete daily activities while preventing injuries.
It is important to perform physical activity on a regular basis; however it is even more important to do so within your own personal limits. The kinesiologist at our Downtown Montreal Kinesiology Clinic can develop a safe exercise program catered to your goals and needs, while helping you to understand your own personal limits. The goal of the kinesiologist at our Downtown Montreal clinic is to give you the necessary tools for you to perform your favorite activities in an optimal fashion.

Are kinesiology services covered by my private health insurance plan?
Many insurance companies recognize kinesiology but it does depend on the provider and the type of the coverage that you have. Our kinesiologist is authorized to issue receipts through the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. It is also important to verify if a doctor's prescription is required to make a claim.
