Is kinesiology same as physio?
A physiotherapist will assess and diagnose a sports injury, helping reduce pain and swelling, whereas a kinesiologist will focus on the active component of rehab. A physiotherapist may refer to a kinesiologist after initial symptoms have lessened to begin active rehabilitation.
Which type of physiotherapist is best?
Orthopaedic physiotherapy is the most common form of physical therapy. It deals with the broadest range of issues. Sports physiotherapists use orthopaedic therapy to treat sports injuries. Still, we recommend this type of treatment for anybody recovering from surgeries involving their muscles or bones.
What is kinesiology good for?
Kinesiology is a form of therapy that uses muscle monitoring (biofeedback) to look at imbalances that may be causing disease in the body. Kinesiology aims to detect and correct imbalances that may relate to stress, nutrition or minor injuries. Kinesiology is not used to diagnose disorders.
Are physiotherapists worth it?
Conclusion Physiotherapists can help people better understand their individualized pain/function problem, while teaching them life-long self-management skills for improved quality of life. Although a physiotherapy plan of care will probably cost you a few hundred dollars, it is undoubtedly worth every penny.
