Biokineticists generally work with patients recovering from orthopaedic surgery, sports and soft-tissue injuries, and those managing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and musculoskeletal pain. The specific focus depends on the practitioner's assessment of each patient's needs.
Do I need a referral to see a biokineticist?
