Kinesiology and Chronic Pain - How We Can Help

Chronic pain is a debilitating and often invisible monster that can steal our joy, alter our lifestyles and cause silent suffering. Whether the cause is an illness, a nagging injury or a crippling accident, incessant pain can change who we are and steal our hope that the future can be any different.

It doesn’t have to feel so helpless. Working with a Kinesiologist can drastically improve the function of your body and decrease the experience of pain wiith the implementation of a individualized exercise program. Further, we focus on a deeper level of healing incorporating the mental and emotional side of pain. So how do we help?

  1. We take a look at how your body moves to see if’s there an opportunity for improvement.
    A biomechanical analysis of your movement patterns can showcase where you may have deficiencies in strength and mobility which can be amplifying your sensations of pain. Chronic pain in one area can mean movement deficiencies at another location in the body so we take a full-body approach to ensure your overall funtionality is the best it can be.

  2. We understand the mental and emotional toll of your experience.
    We’re compassionate and empathetic about your experience which is just as important as acknowledging the physical side of pain. We help with stress reduction, building mental resilience and creating lasting habits so that you can learn to manage your symptoms on your own.

  3. We know how to safely and slowly progress your programming to obtain optimal results.
    There’s no one-size-fits-all program for any type of pain or injury. Every body has it’s own unique needs and limitations that must be taken into account. We will cater your program to exactly what you and your body need while taking small but consistent steps to improve your quality of life.

  4. We listen.
    We’ll take your feedback and alter your programming to best suit your body no matter where your at in your healing journey. Did something hurt or get worse? Tell us. Has an exercise improved your pain drastically? Keep us posted. We take in all of the feedback in order to better service you and your individual situation.

  5. We spend quality time.
    No quick appointments here and no rushing; we take a full hour to analyze, guide, prescribe and understand exactly what’s happening so we know how to program in-depth for your needs. A consistent weekly appointment keeps you on track and allows us to ensure your always improving and seeing results.

Medication and physiotherapy aren’t the only ways to manage your pain. If you’ve tried “everything” but haven’t had any success, we would love to set you up with a complimentary consultation with one of our kinesiologists to see if exercise therapy is right for you.
