Kinesiotherapy
Kinesiology is the study of
human movement and all its
manifestations. A
kinesiotherapist is a health
care professional who, under
the direction of a
physician, treats the
effects of disease, injury,
and congenital disorders,
through the use of
therapeutic exercise and
education. The four-year
program requires 1000
clock hours of clinical
observation, practicum, and
clinical internship.
Students complete specific
coursework within a rigorous
curriculum in such areas as
anatomy, chemistry,
mathematics, physiology, and
psychology. The program
offers students preparation
for work in Kinesiotherapy.
In addition, students can
enter the job market with an
undergraduate KT degree
prepared for entry-level
employment with cardiac
rehabilitation programs,
health and wellness
programs, rehabilitation
services in some Veterans’
Administration Hospitals,
corporate and community
fitness programs, health
clubs, and similar fitness
related industries. KT
students can also qualify
for graduate school in
physical therapy, medical
school and other allied
health professions.
Students must obtain
Kinesiotherapy registration
and pass the required exam
to be eligible for many of
the jobs mentioned above.
AKTA membership is
recommended.
