Kinesiologists: take your practice from advice to hands-on with osteopathy

2024/08/28

As a kinesiologist, you are skilled in movement analysis, functional assessment, and designing tailored exercise programs. Your role is essential in guiding clients toward better health and performance. But have you considered going beyond advice and incorporating a hands-on approach into your practice? Osteopathy could be the key to complementing and enhancing your skills.

Enhance your theoretical expertise

Your kinesiology training has provided you with in-depth knowledge in areas such as the neurophysiological foundations of movement, functional anatomy and exercise, and cardiometabolic and cardiorespiratory assessment and training. These skills enable you to analyze, advise, and support your clients effectively and personally.

Add a hands-on dimension

Osteopathy offers a manual approach that complements your theoretical expertise. It allows you to work directly on body tissues. At the Institut d’Enseignement de l’Ostéopathie du Québec, we train kinesiologists in this practical dimension, helping them transition from the role of advisor to that of hands-on practitioner, providing a more complete and direct care experience for their clients.

Deliver integrated, lasting results

By combining your kinesiology skills with osteopathic techniques, you offer a global, integrated approach. You can:

Analyze and assess your clients’ needs.
Advise on exercises and tailored strategies.
Intervene manually to relieve discomfort, improve mobility, and optimize athletic performance.

This complementarity enriches your practice and enhances long-term results for your clients.

Expand your career horizons

Osteopathy is not a departure from your initial training but a natural extension of your skills. It allows you to:

Diversify your practice by offering a wider range of services.
Expand your professional opportunities by accessing new practice settings and collaborative environments.

If you want to enrich your practice by adding a hands-on dimension, osteopathy is a path worth considering. At IEOQ, we guide you through this evolution to enhance your practice and explore new professional opportunities.
