Kinesiology is the science of movement and exercise, and registered Kinesiologists with the Alberta Kinesiology Association have the knowledge and training to assess exercise capacity, recommend exercise, and monitor client safety, progression, and compliance.

​

Kinesiologists are an integral part of interdisciplinary teams. Unfortunately, most extended insurance providers do not list kinesiology as a primary service, which makes Kinesiology services less accessible to Albertans.

​

This lack of coverage limits the ability of kinesiologists to reach patients who may benefit from exercise prescription and lifestyle modification to manage chronic conditions conservatively. 

​

AKA is working on making Kinesiology a direct billable primary service by extended health care providers. Please give us a hand and sign the AKA petition today, add your voice to the voices of thousands who want to put the 'CARE' back into health care.

​

I always recommend calling your health insurance and inquiring about coverage. If your doctor is recommending a Kin, ask them to write you a script for it, it shows direct support from the medical community when talking with your insurance.
