Kinesiology Services in Thunder Bay, ON.
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance and function. Kinesiologists use their knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology and evidence-based interventions to improve one's health, including treating and preventing injury. Kinesiology can be applied in various settings, but at Avella Kinesiology our primary focus is in the field of ergonomics and exercise prescription.
Why Work With a Kinesiologist?
Kinesiologists are regulated healthcare professionals in Ontario with specialized training in human movement, exercise, and rehabilitation. Working with a Registered Kinesiologist means your care is guided by evidence-based principles and tailored to your individual needs, helping you move safely, build strength, and improve overall function.
Kinesiology services may also be covered under some extended health benefit plans, making them an accessible option for both rehabilitation and ongoing exercise support.
