Strength & Conditioning

Strength and conditioning is a specialized area of health and wellness aimed at enhancing the performance and overall health of active individuals. It involves exercises and training programs designed by kinesiologists to increase muscle strength, endurance, power, speed, flexibility, and reduce pain.

Here at Banff Sport Medicine, our kinesiologists are movement specialists that will help you improve your physical performance, reduce your injury risk, or aid in your recovery from injury or surgery.

They will assess your strength, mobility, stability, coordination, and conditioning to design and implement exercise programming that is customized for your unique needs, physical abilities, and goals.

As members of an integrated team, our kinesiologists will ensure your return to activity and sport performance is optimized.

Kinesiology = the study of the mechanics of body movement

Benefits of strength & conditioning for surgical patients

For surgical patients, our kinesiologists and physiotherapists work together to help patients:

  • Prepare for surgery
  • Recover after surgery

While our physiotherapists focus on reducing pain, restoring range of motion, and progressing patients through their rehabilitation exercises, our kinesiologists gradually reintroduce functional exercises to help patients return to sport, activity, and performance.

This seamless collaboration is tailored to the specific surgery and goals to help optimize recovery and reduce the risk of another injury.
