Pain Literacy Training!
Are you a health professional that works with clients living with persistent, chronic pain?
Join Amber for the upcoming training to start learning about the current research in pain science and how to integrate it when working with clients, one on one or in a group setting.
This 6 hr training is good for 6 PDCs with Alberta Kinesiology Association, and 5 CECs with AFLCA.

The first training was an amazing success! Watch for the next training to be announced soon!
Kinesiology & Insurance Coverage
Kinesiology is the science of movement and exercise, and registered Kinesiologists with the Alberta Kinesiology Association have the knowledge and training to assess exercise capacity, recommend exercise, and monitor client safety, progression, and compliance.
​
Kinesiologists are an integral part of interdisciplinary teams. Unfortunately, most extended insurance providers do not list kinesiology as a primary service, which makes Kinesiology services less accessible to Albertans.
​
This lack of coverage limits the ability of kinesiologists to reach patients who may benefit from exercise prescription and lifestyle modification to manage chronic conditions conservatively.
​
AKA is working on making Kinesiology a direct billable primary service by extended health care providers. Please give us a hand and sign the AKA petition today, add your voice to the voices of thousands who want to put the 'CARE' back into health care.
​
I always recommend calling your health insurance and inquiring about coverage. If your doctor is recommending a Kin, ask them to write you a script for it, it shows direct support from the medical community when talking with your insurance.
