KINESIOLOGY
Active rehabilitation that finishes what passive treatment started.
Supervised active rehab that bridges the gap between sore-and-resting and back-to-your-life.
OVERVIEW
What is kinesiology?
Kinesiology is the science of human movement. BC kinesiologists registered with the BC Association of Kinesiologists (BCAK) deliver supervised exercise programs that load tissue, retrain movement and rebuild capacity after an injury.
At Launch Rehab, kinesiology is most often the active-rehab arm of a physiotherapy plan — one-on-one exercise sessions where a kinesiologist walks you through a progression built by your physiotherapist, corrects technique in real time, and progresses load when you're ready.
We work with ICBC active-rehab claims, post-surgical conditioning, and clients who have plateaued in a self-directed gym program and need the next progression mapped out.
BENEFITS
What this work is for.
- Rebuild strength, capacity and movement quality
- Progress through ICBC active rehab on an evidence-based timeline
- Return to work tasks with conditioning that matches the demand
- Bridge from post-physiotherapy to independent training
- Reduce re-injury risk through guided loading
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your session, step by step.
Goal-setting
We pin down what 'better' looks like for you — a specific task, weight, distance or workday. The plan is built backwards from that.
Progressive loading
Sessions follow a programmed progression — load, volume and complexity stepped up as your tissue and nervous system catch up.
Technique coaching
Real-time technique correction on every working set. Your kinesiologist watches what your body is actually doing under load.
Take-home program
What to do on your own between sessions, written down, sized to the time you actually have.
