Kinesiology and Injury Rehabilitation for Veterans Ottawa
Veterans kinesiology is not one standard program. Each session is individualized around the Veteran's injuries, health history, activity level, goals and current ability.
At Fleming Fitness, we are registered providers with Medavie Blue Cross for Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). Our services include kinesiology, osteopathy and massage therapy services. As registered providers, our clinic will bill direct to Medavie Blue Cross for eligible services.
A Registered Kinesiologist can assess relevant movement and function, explain an exercise baseline and build a progressive plan around the tasks that matter to you. Sessions focus on physical function while also supporting the routine, confidence and sense of progress many Veterans value from regular guided exercise.
Appointments may be available at the Kanata clinic or East end clinic.
Rebuilding after injury
Progressive exercise may focus on strength, mobility, endurance and confidence after treatment, surgery or a period of reduced activity.
Managing daily physical demands
Sessions can connect exercise with walking, stairs, carrying, getting on and off the floor or other activities of daily living.
Improving balance and mobility
A plan may include lower-body strength, controlled movement and task practice based on current ability and relevant recommendations.
Returning to regular exercise
One-to-one coaching can establish a realistic baseline and reduce the guesswork of restarting after a long interruption.
