Strength training with a kinesiologist

How kinesiology helps after a car accident

Recovering from a motor vehicle accident can be physically and emotionally hard work. Stiffness, reduced movement and lingering pain can make it difficult to get back to your usual level of activity. Kinesiology plays an important part in rebuilding strength and movement once the early stage of recovery is behind you.

What is kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the science of human movement. A kinesiologist designs and supervises exercise programs that improve strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, posture and everyday function. After a collision, kinesiology usually starts once your physiotherapist or chiropractor has settled the initial pain and inflammation. Kinesiology →

How a kinesiology program helps

  1. Rebuilds strength safely. Weak muscles slow recovery. A progressive plan rebuilds strength without overloading healing tissue.
  2. Improves mobility. Structured exercise restores flexibility and smoother movement patterns after stiffness sets in.
  3. Improves balance and coordination. Balance and body-awareness exercises help when a collision has left you unsteady.
  4. Supports long-term pain management. Regular guided movement improves posture and reduces the problems that come from inactivity.
  5. Gives you a home program. Printed exercise instructions let you keep progressing between visits.

At Crowchild Physiotherapy, physiotherapists, our chiropractor and our kinesiologist share your plan, so treatment for pain, work on movement and rebuilding fitness happen in the right order. For car accident care, we bill your auto insurer directly whenever applicable. Car accident care →
