sports therapy kinesiology

Sports Therapy Kinesiology, is a branch of Kinesiology, a spin off that focuses more on the physical structures of the body. If you have any structural issues, reoccurring injuries, pain, tight muscles, any such issues that don't seem to go away no matter what you try, could this be for you?

It uses many different assessments to understand what is happening with a client.

Using these assessments with an integrative understanding allows the practitioner to choose or test which treatment to apply to the injured client. The treatments could be passive (practitioner directed) manual therapy-based approaches such as: trigger point therapy, myofascial release, bowen therapy, neuromuscular approaches and corrective stretching. 

Alternatively, they could be more active (client directed) approaches such as: self-myofascial release, muscle activations, stretches and restorative movements. 

Both approaches work together hand in hand. Often teaching the client or athlete how to heal themselves yields the most long lasting and effective results in clinic, especially when dealing with pain. 

A Sports Therapy Kinesiologist can also be the go-to practitioner for fast, effective and long-lasting results whether you are an athlete or someone in physical pain. Physical structure problems in an integrative way of recognising that posture reflects a client’s movement patterns which in turn are reflective of their overall health, neurology and psychology - how you have lived your life.
