Our Origin Story
West Coast Kinetics is a women owned kinesiology clinic in the heart of Point Grey that seeks to create and promote quality living and healthy movement for every individual’s personal needs. We strive to support our clients in building holistic lifestyles that can be maintained throughout every stage of their lives. There aren’t a lot of kinesiology ‘only’ studios in Vancouver, and we wanted to create this space to promote physical health and educate the public on the benefits of exercise.
Myself and my business partner met ten years ago working as kinesiologists and we wanted to create a kinesiology studio that prioritized communication and connection, quality of life, evidence based care, and a supportive and high-performance culture. These four attributes quickly turned into our company values, and we have found a multitude of success by employing them throughout our company. Our culture is built on respect, teamwork, and a shared commitment to helping one another succeed.
Established in 2022, we are a small local clinic that focuses our expertise on one on one active rehabilitation for any physical injury, ICBC active rehab with emphasis on concussion and whiplash injuries, pre/post natal personal training and general fitness training. We see a lot of the aging population as well due to the area where the clinic is, and we have created a friendly and safe community within our clinic where anyone regardless of their experience levels can come in and feel appreciated and listened to. All of our kinesiologists are licensed through the BC Association of Kinesiologists and have been working in the field of kinesiology for years to ensure quality treatment and personable connections that continue beyond our doors. By taking the time to listen and understand each individual’s goals, concerns, and experiences, we develop personalized programs that reflect what matters most to them. We believe that authentic connections foster trust, encourage long-term success, and strengthen both our client community and our clinic.
We value the importance of a safe and calm environment for optimal recovery and we pride ourselves on our adaptable gym space for any individual who may require a little extra light or sound reduction. While we have our main open gym layout for the majority of our sessions, we also have a sound proof treatment room for anyone looking for a more peaceful session. This has proven to be one of the features most of our clients have told us they appreciate the most from our clinic.
We believe not only in helping our local community but also participating in multiple events that support Canadians at large. For the last three years, West Coast Kinetics has participated and helped lead Motionball Vancouver for Special Olympics Canada, which last year raised over 100 000$ for sports programs for Special Olympics athletes throughout British Columbia. We’re also participating in a pickleball fundraiser in September called Rally for Resilience which helps spread awareness on the importance of mental health interventions for teens in BC. We are currently partnered with BC cancer to provide exercise programs and demonstrations to their staff as part of their healthy workplace program. We have participated in our community’s Greek Festival and have offered free workout and stretch sessions at our local park for individuals in our community.
We recognize that healthcare is continually evolving, which is why we actively support continuing education and professional development for all members of our team. We are doing this by offering shadowing opportunities to local university students to help them gain volunteer hours for their license qualifications as well as providing our staff with access and financial aid to continuing education courses to keep them up to date on the latest kinesiology practices. Through fostering lifelong learning and clinical excellence with our employees, we ensure our clients receive safe, effective, and individualized care.
