Kinesiologists are underrated and under-appreciated. I've been a kinesiologist for over 3 years now, and I think this field doesn't get enough credit. I've done a bit of everything, from coordinating return-to-work programs for workplace injury patients to working as a personal trainer and physio aide. Recently, I've started contracting in a clinical setting, doing more hands-on treatment and fitness assessments, on top of my usual exercise prescriptions. One thing I've noticed is that it's really tough to get people to try our services without insurance coverage. Almost all of my patients ha ..read more

Hey all, i have a few questions and would love some advice. I dislocated my kneecap on march 27th and was told I can return to sport on April 24th even though I haven’t done much physical therapy and im slightly concerned because im still having slight pain. What would be my risks of returning to sport to early ? I don’t have any issues with range of motion, can complete various forms of plyometrics, have full depth squats but I still have pain when waking or standing up from sitting a long time. Is this normal and should I wait to return to sport until I’m completely pain free ? submitted b ..read more

This is the problem I was given, the answer is supposed to be 1059.48 N. But I have no idea how to get this. Does anyone know the steps for this problem?

I've started elevating my legs up against the wall in the evening for ~20-30 mins after runs and have noticed that i end up starting to feel sleepy. Importantly, this is not necessarily direct fatigue from the run per-se as, to put simply, all else is equal without the leg elevation: I study on my laptop and have been running consistently for 1 year now. This feeling of sudden onset fatigue becomes present only after around 15 mins of leg elevation against the wall. So my questions... What could be the mechanism here? Is the leg elevation really doing much? I'm skeptical personally, especial ..read more

I'm an exercise science graduate with a minor in psychology and I've been curious about possible grad programs that combine psych and exercise. I'm interested in using exercise as therapy for members of my local community that struggle with mental health disorders, but I don't even know if that is possible or exists as a career option. Currently I'm studying to take the ACSM Exercise Physiologist cert and I wonder if that would allow me to work with this population. If anyone has any info or feedback on this, I'd love to hear it! submitted by /u/the_tiny_small [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey guys I’m currently a respiratory therapist and a high school football coach on the side. Recently just experiencing the burnout of working with very sick patients so looking to switch careers. I love football, coaching, working with my kids, how the body moves and all that. All I’ve seen doing research on the career is why not to start up kinesiology and how there’s no jobs and everything. How true is that? And do you guys have any positives for why to get into this field? submitted by /u/Competitive-End-1696 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
