Kinesiology is a highly effective therapeutic practice that focuses on improving movement, enhancing strength, and promoting overall physical well-being. At Volt Health in Abbotsford, our experienced kinesiologists specialize in helping individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and optimize physical performance. Whether you’re dealing with an injury from a motor vehicle accident (MVA), rehabilitating after surgery, or aiming to improve your athletic performance, our personalized kinesiological programs can help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation
Kinesiology is a crucial component of rehabilitation, particularly for individuals recovering from motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), workplace injuries, or sports injuries. Our kinesiologists assess the nature of the injury and develop targeted exercise programs designed to restore mobility, strength, and function.
- MVA Rehabilitation: If you’ve been injured in a car accident, kinesiology can help you regain strength, mobility, and balance. We work closely with ICBC to ensure you receive the necessary treatments covered by your insurance plan, with no upfront costs thanks to our direct billing services.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Following surgery, kinesiology helps rebuild strength, restore range of motion, and improve functional movement. This approach is essential for a smooth and effective recovery process.
Chronic Pain Management
For individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, lower back pain, or fibromyalgia, kinesiology provides a non-invasive way to manage and reduce pain. Our kinesiologists create individualized exercise programs aimed at improving mobility, reducing stiffness, and alleviating discomfort.
Sports Performance and Injury Prevention
For athletes, kinesiology is a powerful tool for improving performance and preventing future injuries. Our kinesiologists at Volt Health in Abbotsford design sport-specific programs to enhance strength, agility, and endurance while identifying and correcting movement patterns that may increase the risk of injury.
- Sport-Specific Training: Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, or team athlete, our kinesiologists create tailored exercise programs to improve your performance and keep you injury-free.
- Injury Prevention: By addressing muscular imbalances and optimizing movement, kinesiology helps reduce the risk of injuries such as sprains, strains, and overuse injuries.
Functional Movement Improvement
Kinesiology isn’t just for athletes or those recovering from injuries. It’s an effective way for anyone to improve functional movement, which is essential for everyday activities like walking, bending, lifting, and climbing stairs. This is particularly beneficial for older adults looking to maintain independence and prevent falls.
Kinesiology for Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Recovery
If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident, Volt Health provides comprehensive kinesiology services designed to support your recovery. MVA injuries, such as whiplash, soft tissue damage, and joint pain, can significantly impact your daily life and mobility. Kinesiology focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and preventing long-term complications.
At Volt Health, we work with ICBC to ensure that you receive coverage for your kinesiology treatments. We handle direct billing to ICBC, so you won’t have to worry about upfront costs. Our team will work with you to create a personalized rehabilitation plan that helps you recover quickly and safely.
Kinesiology for Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries, particularly those involving repetitive strain, heavy lifting, or poor ergonomics, can cause ongoing pain and disability. Kinesiology plays an essential role in treating workplace injuries by focusing on restoring functional movement and improving strength and endurance.
We partner with WorkSafeBC to provide approved kinesiology services for workplace injuries. Our kinesiologists in Abbotsford develop rehabilitation programs that help you regain strength, prevent re-injury, and safely return to work.
Active Rehabilitation with Kinesiology
At Volt Health, our Active Rehabilitation programs combine the expertise of kinesiologists and physiotherapists to help individuals recover from injuries, especially those resulting from motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, or surgeries.
What Is Active Rehab?
Active Rehabilitation is a structured exercise program designed to restore strength, mobility, and function. Unlike passive treatments (such as massage or ultrasound therapy), Active Rehab involves the patient actively participating in their recovery through targeted exercises. Our kinesiologists work closely with you to ensure your exercises are appropriate for your condition and are performed correctly.
Why Choose Active Rehabilitation?
- Customized Programs: Each rehabilitation plan is tailored to your specific needs, focusing on the areas of your body most affected by the injury.
- Improved Recovery: Active participation in your recovery leads to faster improvements in strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
- Prevention of Future Injuries: By addressing imbalances and weaknesses, Active Rehab helps prevent future injuries from occurring.
Kinesiology for Athletes: High-Performance and Sport-Specific Training
At Volt Health, we understand the demands placed on athletes, and our kinesiologists are trained to help you optimize your sport-specific performance. Whether you’re training for a competition or trying to reach your personal best, our kinesiologists create customized training programs to improve your strength, endurance, agility, and injury resilience.
Sport-Specific Training Benefits:
- Enhanced Strength and Endurance: Improve the muscles and movements specific to your sport to boost performance.
- Injury Prevention: Identify and correct poor movement patterns that could lead to injury.
- Faster Recovery: If you’ve experienced a sports injury, kinesiology-based rehabilitation will help you recover faster and more safely, allowing you to get back in the game.
