Functional Biomechanical Assessments

Our comprehensive assessments are the foundation of providing you sound exercise programming.

Discover your strengths, target your imbalances and maximize your performance outcomes while preventing injury!

Essential Kinetics uses validated testing protocols in addition to the Functional Movement Screen and Selective Functional Movement Assessment to identify markers of movement inefficiency and potential for injury.  Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS), gait analysis and sport biomechanical analysis are also applied as components of your assessment and athletic development.

 

Corrective Exercise & Personal Training Services

We develop exercise programs based on the fundamentals of sport and health science with emphasis on balanced movement and function.  There is nothing gained by adding load or repetition to dysfunction, so we assure you reach your goals by establishing a sound base of stability, mobility, strength and conditioning.

right for you?

Returning from injury or inactivity?

We employ effective and medically supported exercise programs for all individuals with special health considerations and avoid injury recurrence by addressing the root of the problem.

Our carefully designed programs keep you active and teach you exercise modification as we retrain your body to regain optimal health and performance measures.

You get direct guidance in the comfort of semi-private training studios where you are given the one-on-one attention needed to maximize your response to training and find out exercises that can be done with ease at home, during travel or within your own gym.

*The Insurance Company of British Columbia (ICBC) and other insurance carriers include healthcare coverage for medically supported exercise therapy in some circumstances. Ask your provider whether you may qualify for medical coverage of Active Rehabilitation and Kinesiology services.
