Kinesiology
Kinesiology focuses on restoring balanced movement, reducing pain, and improving overall function through a personalized, evidence-informed approach. Sessions integrate hands-on manual therapy with targeted movement and exercise strategies to address the underlying causes of discomfort—not just symptoms.
Care is led by Registered Kinesiologist Alexandra Fournier Gonthier, R.Kin., and is grounded in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and movement science, with a strong emphasis on functional alignment, mobility, and long-term resilience. Treatments are tailored to each individual and may support those experiencing pain, postural imbalances, movement limitations, or those seeking injury prevention and improved physical performance.
A Thoughtful, Integrated Approach
Each session begins with a detailed assessment of posture, movement patterns, mobility, strength, and areas of restriction or imbalance. Treatment may then include a combination of manual therapy techniques and corrective movement strategies designed to reduce tension, improve joint and tissue mobility, and support efficient, pain-free movement.
This approach bridges rehabilitative care commonly found in physiotherapy and osteopathy with the movement-based principles of kinesiology, offering a well-rounded and individualized treatment experience.
What Treatment May Include
