Happy Kinesiology Week!

 

ELM's Kinesiologist's are practicing members of the BC Association of Kinesiology.  Kinesiology is the 'study of human movement' and requires a minimum 4 year University degree program to practice in Canada.  Learn more about Practicing Kinesiologists in British Columbia by going to the BCAK website.  Be sure to ask your private health insurance provider if they cover Kinesiology services.

Kinesiology: Human Movement Specialists

Over the past 10-20 years, Kinesiology has evolved rapidly as a profession.  When I graduated from UVic in 1999 (omg), 99% of people looked at me sideways when I told them I had a degree in Kinesiology.  Today, most people have at least heard the term, Kinesiologist, but to many the profession is still a mystery.  We want to clear that up for you, your physician, your health and rehabilitation team and your extended medical providers!  

Happy Monday!

Hello!  
I hope you had a great weekend filled with adventures and laughter:)  I sure did!  We had a great time on Friday night watching Unbreakable with fellow trail runners...I finally got out in my garden on Saturday for some spring cleaning...and kept my good friend and ELM instructor, Kim Senechal company on her 35k, 1200m elevation ultratraining run on Sunday!  We even got to see our very first COUGAR during our run!  Finally!  After decades of working and playing in the woods I got my wish:))  To see a giant cat (in a non-threatening situation lol).  It looked a lot like this, with a nice fluffy winter coat.  Crossed our path, we spooked each other, then it ran off in to the woods again.  Amazing!!
