Our Kinesiologists specialize in Functional Active Rehabilitation exercise programs that are tailored to each client's specific goals. Not only do they concentrate on rehabilitation from different types of injuries, but our Kinesiologists also aim to help improve clients' general health and fitness, overall sport specific endurance, or simply increase their tolerance for activities of daily living and return to work.
Prior to initiating a Functional Active Rehab program, clients are booked in to see a physiotherapist to assess cause of pain/dysfunction. The Physiotherapist and Kinesiologist work together to develop an individual client-centered program suitable to begin in the gym.
What is Work Conditioning
The FAR program includes work conditioning, where sessions are performed to simulate various work tasks, or a typical "work shift". This is appropriate for injured clients looking to return to work in the future (who may be on a WorkSafe BC or ICBC claim). The Kinesiologist's initial assessment for the FAR program includes a meeting regarding work status and job demands, with subsequent functional tests. The Kinesiologist is then able to develop a program to simulate a work environment for each and every individual client.
Our Kinesiologists are also able to coordinate Gradual Return to Work Programs, including Job Site Visits, for off-work clients. This includes coordination between client, insurer, doctor and employer. Additionally our Kinesiologists will monitor the RTW program and are able to provide Job Coaching.
We also provide care in active rehab for high performance athletes, individuals suffering from chronic injury or disease (diabetes, obesity), or simply those interested in jump starting an improvement in thier overall physical health and wellness.
