What is a kinesiologist?
A kinesiologist is a health professional who specializes in the study of human movement. In a clinical setting, kinesiologists work alongside physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists; they use exercise, and other forms of movement, to help people rehabilitate injury and/or restore or enhance physical function after physical trauma or surgery. They can help you:
- Improve flexibility, balance, and coordination
- Increase muscular strength, endurance, and power
- Increase range of motion
- Develop proper posture
- Learn how to perform activities of daily living safely and efficiently to reduce risk of injury and strain
- Helping develop a home exercise program
*The goal of Kinesiology is to discover strategies for improved human health and performance.
Kayla graduated from the University of Victoria in 2011, where she earned a Bachelors of Science degree with a major in Kinesiology. She has participated in a large variety of individual and team sports including, but not limited to, rugby, lacrosse, field hockey, and swimming. Her personal experiences within these sports has given her a comprehensive knowledge of the biomechanics and associated injuries that can occur within different sports. Her kinesiology background has given her the knowledge base to produce rehabilitation programs specific to the injury and sport.
Kayla has experience in personal training on an individual basis and at a team-level, and she is interested in continuing to learn different types of training modalities. She still participates in team sports, but also enjoys running, biking and hiking in her spare time. Kayla would love to help you in recovering from your injury, learning sport-specific exercises or just become more fit! |
