WHAT IS A KINESIOLOGIST?
What is a Kinesiologist?
As University-educated health professionals, Kinesiologists apply exercise and movement science to promote health and wellbeing; prevent, manage and rehabilitate injuries; treat illness and chronic disease; restore function, and optimize human performance in the workplace, clinical settings, sport and fitness. Kinesiologists are the only human movement specialists that use science and research to offer movement as medicine to any person with a health or fitness goal, who want a hands-on, personalized approach. Kinesiologists work with people of all ages, and physical abilities, in many settings, to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. They improve quality of life, often using interventions that include physical activity.

Is There a Practical Application to Dance Training?
Yes! As a Kinesiologist and a Registered Ballet Teacher (RAD & SCBVM), I can assess dancers (all ages & levels) and provide customized training programs to suit their goals/needs. Using the principles of biomechanics, I aim to help dancers move more efficiently, so as to improve their functional technique and prevent injuries. Training programs include: postural/functional assessments, dance conditioning & exercise prescription, and practical application to ballet technique.
