Kinesiologist

Kinesiology is the study of human movement. Most Manitobans do not exercise enough and spend their days sitting. Inactivity has many negative health consequences including risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, poor mental health, and early death. A Kinesiologist is an exercise professional who has a 4-year undergraduate degree and additional training to help provide lifestyle and physical activity counselling. A Kinesiologist appointment may benefit you if you:
·        do not know how to become active
·        do not have time for exercise
·        are not sure what exercise is right for you
·        want to manage and prevent chronic disease
·        want to improve your quality of life and mental health
·        want to know what benefits physical activity has for you
Follow up appointments are available to track progress and help support you on your journey.
