Active Rehab & Kinesiology

Active Rehab & Kinesiology

Active rehabilitation is a kinesiology-directed exercise-based approach to injury recovery and prevention. A kinesiologist can help individuals with injury, disability, or medical condition(s) reach their health and fitness goals in a safe and progressive manner.

Our kinesiologists can help you recover from overuse or acute injury through mobility exercises and active rehabilitation. They also help you manage, rehabilitate, and prevent mobility issues that impede how your body moves and functions after injuries and car accidents.

Active rehabilitation is an exercise-based approach to treatment and rehabilitation.

A typical session with a kinesiologist will include injury-specific exercises, core, postural stabilization, general strengthening, and education regarding the principles of active rehabilitation, posture, and proper body mechanics. Ultimately, active rehabilitation aims to provide you with increased resolution of symptoms and independence in recovery through a structured exercise regimen.

Cole Young

Cole graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley in 2018 with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology and an extended minor in Psychology.

Cole took part in many sports growing up, primarily baseball and hockey at competitive levels. At the age of 17, Cole competed for Team BC in baseball, and represented at the national stage in Quebec. During the following offseason, he suffered a significant back injury which required just over a year of rehabilitation and therapy in order to get back to health. Having made a full recovery, he still plays recreational hockey and baseball on a weekly basis!

Through his injury rehabilitation experience, Cole fell in love with the process of rehabilitation, while also gaining first-hand experience of the entire rehabilitative process. Upon recovery, Cole wanted to learn more about how the muscles and tissues of the body interact and develop, which inspired him to study Kinesiology. While studying Kinesiology, he developed a passion for using his experiences to help others grow and develop beyond their own injuries through active rehabilitation, just as he was able to.

Utilizing a whole-body approach, Cole finds the muscular deficiencies which are functionally limiting someone, and works to strengthen and rebalance the body to create a stronger base, and a more functional body. Along with educating on form and posture, anatomical alignment, and mobilization training, this approach helps people feel more confident and comfortable.

Cole enjoys working with anyone who is looking to improve themselves! Whether it is rehabilitative, athletic training, weight loss, or anywhere in between; Cole enjoys finding what drives someone, and helping them utilize that in their journey.
