Physiotherapist vs. Kinesiologist: What's the difference?
A physiotherapist has the capacity to assess, diagnose, and manually treat impairments and injuries. A kinesiologist will guide you through the active phase of rehabilitation and will provide exercise prescriptions and programs. Kinesiologists also operate in exercise therapy, personal training, and ergonomics.
