Kinesiology North Vancouver

Our Trimetrics Kinesiology Program

Learn to monitor your own progress and increase your confidence by working with our Kinesiology teammates Gillian Morrow, Michael Tengco and Brittany Patitucci.

At Trimetrics Physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates and Complementary Health our Kinesiology program is unique in that we are able to combine clinical Pilates with functional strength and corrective exercises into your plan of care. This is especially important when your work or life demands certain levels of strength and flexibility to perform and avoid injury (or re-injury). Our kinesiologists work under the supervision of physiotherapists, and your individualized exercise prescription and care plan will be generated co-operatively by you, your physiotherapist and your kinesiologist.

The team treatment model that is specifically geared to Pilates based functional movements and exercises is called our PRE program (Pilates as Rehabilitation Exercise).

Next Steps

The next few follow-up visits may see you in the gym with one of our Kinesiology team to ensure that your exercise form is spot on, you progress safely, and to test your ability to meet your goals or job requirements.

Then you see your physiotherapist again, make any fine-tuned adjustments to your plan of care, review the exercise form and progressions and treat with the most appropriate techniques. On the subsequent visit, you may return to the Kinesiologist for personal training.

This rhythm of physiotherapy and kinesiology can continue through the entire healing continuum.

This is also the same team treatment philosophy we share with our Pilates instructor team. In both Pilates and Kinesiology, all team treatment appointments are considered Physiotherapy visits for extended health benefits.

People who have gone through this type of care have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. This model of care is also supported by insurance companies such as Worksafe BC, ICBC and most extended health providers because the results of active rehabilitation usually provide the best results for injury recovery and prevention. Your therapist will discuss various options that best suit your needs, and active rehab may be one of them.
