ctive rehab is a program designed to address injuries and help the patient to regain their physical strength as it was before the injury. Active rehab includes the initial assessment which includes checking posture, core stability, muscle balancing, and functional movement. Then the Kinesiologist will plan a custom corrective treatment or exercise program to focus on the specific issues. The therapist will also monitor your progress during the workout to ensure that you’re using the correct form and protocol. Benefits of Active Rehab 4 Improving motion, balance,

However, physiotherapy is a treatment where the major focus will be on recovery from injury and accidents. Focus: Kinesiology is a treatment that not just focuses on only one part but ensures to focus on the entire body. However, the physiotherapist has their focus on either one or two parts or just targeting the injured area.
