Easthill Physiotherapy and Acupuncture is excited to announce a new service to our ICBC and private paying clientele…. KINESIOLOGY.
In case you’re not familiar with kinesiology, it is the study and knowledge of body motion and mechanics. Kinesiologists are highly trained in exercise science and biomechanics and have the capacity to not only help you recover from injury and set back but to improve your overall fitness. This new service is designed to optimize your recovery.
While our physiotherapists are all excellent at what they do, they can free up extra time for the hands-on treatment while the kinesiologist can focus entirely on your exercise program. Having additional appointments with our kinesiologist will augment and accelerate your recovery. Current evidence in scientific literature strongly points to strength and mobility training as being essential to recovery after injury.
ICBC funds kinesiology visits in conjunction with physiotherapy because the evidence shows that active rehab leads to a faster recovery in their clients. You can’t go wrong by getting strong!
Our kinesiologist, Lexie Gourdine, is looking forward to collaborating with your treating physiotherapist. Together, they design a personalized exercise regime that compliments your therapeutic goals. You can make an appointment with Lexie here.
All appointments will be scheduled for 1 hour. If your injury makes it difficult to tolerate one hour your appointment will be tailored to what your body can accommodate.
All appointments with your kinesiologist will take place at our bright and well-appointed gym at our Sterling Center location.
Ask your physiotherapist for more information, give us a call, or book your appointment online with Lexie today!
It’s easy to get the two mixed up as they share some similarities. Read More »

Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture Clinic has protocols to ensure the utmost safety for our patients, team and community. We have worked hard to protect our public health during this pandemic. Medical masks are mandatory for all staff and patients to keep everyone safe, and we appreciate your commitment.
We continue to follow the guidelines and protective measures indicated by our regulatory boards and governments. Our team has also had extensive training on our new protocols, and we are all 100% committed to ensuring our patients’ safety.
This is the new normal.
All patients and staff will be screened before each visit. Unfortunately, anyone showing signs of respiratory infection will be unable to come into the clinic. We will encourage and book virtual physiotherapy appointments for those that need help but are symptomatic if a client is at greater risk or for anyone who is not comfortable coming into the clinic.
We have the highest standards for hand hygiene and cleaning. All equipment and rooms will be disinfected after each use, frequently touched surfaces will be sterilized, and personal protective equipment will be used in all appropriate situations. Patients and staff will have hand washing stations to ensure proper frequent hand hygiene.
We also understand that it is necessary to reduce the risk of transmission with physical distancing. To do this, we have installed plexiglass barriers, reduced the number of appointments available by spreading them out and designed an optimal patient flow that minimizes contact with other patients and staff before and after appointments. Our team is also committed to practicing these as measures of hand hygiene and physical distancing outside the clinic to be safe when they return to work.
Although it may seem different with the steps we need to take, the Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture team is still the same! We still believe in the same values and are here to provide an extraordinary physiotherapy experience. This is not going to change. Our goal is to keep all of us healthy and happy.
Our fabulous admin team is available to book in-clinic appointments now. Or if you prefer a virtual physiotherapy visit, we can book that too. Please call us at 250-545-2922 to book an appointment or if you would like more information.
