kinesiology

where movement meets meaning

Not every injury comes with a clean diagnosis. Not every pain has a name. At Elios Health in Vancouver, kinesiology is where we begin when the body feels off track, where rehab, performance, and deep movement awareness converge.

Led by Cameron Hunt, a Kinesiologist and strength coach with years of experience working alongside athletes, climbers, and people recovering from injury, our program is built to meet you wherever you're at in your journey. Whether you're returning to the wall after shoulder surgery or relearning how to trust your ankle after a rolled landing, Cameron brings precision, patience, and pragmatism to the table. He’s not here to hand you a generic printout. He’s here to guide you back into your body and back into the sports you love with clarity and intention.

what is kinesiology?

At its core, kinesiology is the study of human movement, but in practice, it’s more than that. It’s strength training with a purpose. Rehab that respects your limits and still asks you to grow. A method of learning how to move not just without pain, but with power, control, and efficiency. Whether you’re loading up for alpine season or trying to make it through your workday without nagging back pain, kinesiology helps you move better.

kinesiology tape for ankles and shoulders

At Elios, we also use kinesiology tape strategically. Not just as a trendy fix, but as a meaningful tool. Applied correctly to the ankle or shoulder, kinesiology tape can provide support to damaged tissue, guide alignment, and reduce strain—all while preserving full range of motion. It's subtle, functional, and effective, especially when used in tandem with rehab and strength work.

kinesiology vs physiotherapy: what’s the difference?

We get this question a lot. Physiotherapy tends to focus on diagnosis, acute injury management, and hands-on techniques like manual therapy and needling. Kinesiology zooms out. It asks: How are you moving as a whole? Where’s the compensation? What’s missing from the chain? Kinesiologists like Cameron specialize in the messy middle… the space after pain but before full performance. We build bridges. We restore function. We help you find your strength again.
