We are so much more!

While you may find kinesiologists working as physiotherapist or chiropractor assistants among others, the truth is that kinesiology is its own independent healthcare profession! Kinesiology has its own independent scope of practice and is regulated in Ontario and on its way to regulation in other provinces.

There are many kinesiologists with their own practices who work with their own clients to help them move better, live better.

Kinesiologists are so much more than just assistants!
