What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance and function. The practice of kinesiology incorporates the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, and considers neuroscience and psychosocial factors. Kinesiologists use evidence-based research to treat and prevent injury and disease, and to improve movement and performance.

Some areas of kinesiology practice include:

  • injury rehabilitation
  • chronic disease management
  • ergonomics and workplace safety
  • fitness and athletics
  • return to work planning and disability management

Your initial assessment

Your kinesiology sessions begin with an assessment focused on functional movement, range of motion, strength and force.

The assessment testing captures digital data the will be used in designing your training program.

This data will:

  • help quickly identify areas of weakness.
  • look for areas that could be a high risk of injury.
  • help design a custom program for those weak spots to improve your mobility, alignment, strength, and/or cardiovascular fitness.
  • help you understand your personal strengths and weaknesses and provide education on how to achieve your goals when not working out with us.

What makes us different? DATA!

During your assessment we capture data from various measurement tools.

Is Kinesiology covered under insurance?

Some extended health insurance plans cover Kinesiology as a benefit. Please check your insurance plan if in doubt.

Can you bill directly to my insurance company?

No. We cannot bill insurance companies directly for kinesiology services.

Does LiquidGym accept Motor Vehicle Accident claims?

No. As of September 1, 2021 we no longer submit nor bill for MVA claims. LiquidGym can, however, treat MVA injuries. You just need to pay our standard therapy rates at the time of your appointment.

Do you direct bill for Veterans Affairs, RCMP, and Canadian Forces?

Yes. If you have Blue Cross coverage through either Veterans Affairs, RCMP, or Canadian Forces, we can bill directly with Blue Cross. To proceed, we require your ID number and the contact information of your case manager, if applicable.

Many patients pay out-of-pocket for kinesiology. At LiquidGym we respect your dollar by providing only one-on-one appointments with your kinesiologist. In addition to your on-site treatment, if appropriate, the therapist will provide a self-managed home care treatment program to facilitate your recovery.

Due to a high number of last-minute cancellations and missed appointments, any kinesiology appointments canceled within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time will be subjected to a $50 cancellation fee per 30 minutes of missed appointment time.

When you cancel your appointment, please inform office staff why you are canceling. This information will be passed along to your therapist.

Appointment reminder emails will be sent out 24 hours in advance.
