Kinesiology at PRE Therapy
Kinesiologists can help you recover from an overuse or acute injury through mobility exercises and active rehabilitation. They also help you manage, rehabilitate, and prevent mobility issues that impede how your body moves and functions after injuries and car accidents. At PRE therapy, our Kinesiologists use a 3-phase approach to your recovery: Pain Management, Restoration, Evolution. This approach helps us identify what pain or instability needs to be worked on right now, while providing you with a long-term solution for staying healthy and active. Your initial session includes a full body assessment and personalized plan, followed by your 1-on-1 treatment.
When You Should Start Active Rehab
In most cases, after a car accident or injury, the earlier you introduce active rehab the better. Your kinesiologist will work with you to design a treatment plan based on your current pain level or range of motion and progress things in a safe manner. Your kinesiologist will also be working with PRE Therapy massage therapists (RMTs) as a team to provide a complementary treatment plan that gives you multiple professional perspectives.

FAQs
+ What’s the difference between Kinesiology and Physiotherapy?
Although both Kinesiologists and Physiotherapists incorporate active rehab into their treatments, a Kinesiologist’s main treatment plan is mostly active movement with stability training. Physiotherapists typically include other modalities to relieve symptoms with manual therapy and IMS needling.
+ I have an ICBC claim. How do I get started?
If your accident date just occurred, you will have pre-approved sessions for RMT and Kin for 12 weeks from that date (once a week).
If your accident date occured a while back, we will need a doctors note (written referral for RMT and/or KIn) as well as written approval from your adjuster for the sessions.
+ When will I be ready for Active Rehab?
A great time to start incorporate Active Rehab would be when your pain has subsided to a comfortable level. This will allow the body to create more stabilty in the affected areas so you are more resilient.
