Help showcase kinesiology across Canada!

Minda Chittenden will be presenting at the Canadian Geriatrics Society Medical conference on behalf of CKA. And we’re looking for photos of Kinesiologists doing rehab/prehab exercises with clients.

Minda wants to showcase the unique, and effective, exercise rehab that Kins are doing to prevent falls/fall related injuries.

Examples: exercise instruction, balance training, mobility work, or functional movements in real-world setting.

The goal is to educate doctors, and medical students, on the amazing work we can do as Kinesiologists to help support greater awareness and referrals from healthcare professionals.

Photos do not need to include faces. Creative, location-based shots are encouraged!
