Kinesiology

PHYSICAL EXERCISES

Physical exercise activities are supervised by a kinesiologist. Following an evaluation of the client’s physical condition, an exercise program is developed to allow the person to improve or maintain his overall physical capacities, or according to a future professional reintegration. These activities are conducted in a clinical setting or in a gym and can include the following:

• development of flexibility;
• development of the cardiorespiratory capacity;
• muscle strengthening.

PHYSICAL EXERCISES IN THE POOL

Certain clinics give clients the possibility to do physical exercises in a heated pool, which helps to increase physical capacities in an environment with lower gravity, but with natural resistance. Group sessions are supervised by a kinesiologist who guides activities according to the clients’ needs.
