What Is Kinesiology & Active Rehab?

Kinesiology and active rehabilitation represent the bridge between passive treatment and full functional recovery. Led by a registered kinesiologist, our active rehab services focus on rebuilding strength, coordination, and confidence through guided movement and progressive exercise programming.

Active rehab is essential for:

Translating therapeutic gains into real-world function
Restoring ability to perform daily activities
Supporting return to work, sports, and hobbies
Preventing re-injury after recovery

At At Ease Physio in South Surrey, our kinesiology services integrate seamlessly with our physiotherapy care. Whether you’re recovering from a knee injury, managing chronic pain, or working through shoulder mobility issues, our Morgan Crossing location features dedicated gym space equipped for progressive strengthening and functional movement training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Physiotherapy focuses on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of movement disorders, often involving hands-on techniques. Kinesiology emphasizes active rehabilitation through exercise prescription. At At Ease Physio, these services work together — physiotherapy addresses acute issues while kinesiology builds lasting strength and function.

Many patients begin with two sessions per week and adjust based on progress. Your kinesiologist will recommend a schedule appropriate for your needs and may provide exercises to perform independently between sessions.

Wear comfortable, athletic clothing that allows for movement. Running shoes or cross-trainers are appropriate. Avoid jeans or restrictive clothing that might limit your range of motion.

Initial improvements in movement quality often occur within the first few weeks. Measurable strength gains typically appear after four to six weeks of consistent training. Your kinesiologist will help you understand realistic expectations for your specific situation.

Many extended health plans include coverage under 'kinesiology' or 'exercise therapy.' Coverage varies by plan, so check with your insurance provider. Our clinic provides receipts with appropriate practitioner designation for your claims.
