Our bodies constantly learn and re-learn movement patterns in response to injury and pain and to the demands of sport, work and life. As gestures become habits, habits become postures, and as injuries occur or our postures deviate, joint mechanics are altered throughout the body causing chronic pain and recurrent injuries. To achieve long-term management of your condition, you must address the cause rather than the symptoms.
Essential Kinetics does just that. With our team of Certified Medical Exercise Specialists, Registered Kinesiologists, Aquatic Therapy Specialists & Pre/Post-Natal Fitness Specialists, we are well equipped to bring an in-depth understanding of the movement patterns essential for achieving or regaining optimal function in all your activities, from work to sport to everyday life.
