Kinesiology Coquitlam | Port Coquitlam FAQs
How Does Kinesiology Differ From Physiotherapy?
Kinesiology focuses primarily on movement and exercise-based techniques to enhance physical performance and overall health. Physiotherapy often includes these aspects but also incorporates a wider range of treatments for injury rehabilitation and managing chronic conditions.
Do I Need a Referral To See a Kinesiologist?
No, a referral is not typically required to see a kinesiologist. However, if you are seeking treatment as part of a specific health insurance plan, please check with your provider as requirements can vary.
How Often Should I Attend Kinesiology Sessions?
The frequency of sessions depends on your individual goals and needs. After your initial assessment, our kinesiologists will recommend a treatment plan that may include regular sessions. This plan is tailored to ensure the best results for your specific situation.
