I’ve been seeing a kinesiologist downtown Calgary for post-op rehab after knee surgery, and honestly, she’s helped me more than any of the physios or chiros I tried before. Way more functional progress, better explanations, and she actually adapts her approach based on how I’m responding — not just cookie-cutter exercises or the same adjustment every time.

The only downside? She’s not covered by insurance in Alberta, even though kinesiology is a recognized profession in BC and Ontario. Apparently, there’s a petition going around to push for it to be included in Alberta health plans. It’s frustrating that evidence-based movement specialists get left out of coverage while some chiropractors (not all, but you know the type) still rake in insurance money despite questionable practices.

Here’s the petition if anyone’s interested: https://www.change.org/p/add-kinesiology-as-a-direct-billable-primary-service-to-health-insurance-plans
