About Kelli Lawson Kelli brings her active lifestyle and love of competitive sport to the health and fitness industry. With Kelli’s first love being volleyball, she competed for several years through high school and continues to play recreationally. In the off season her sport of choice was soccer to stay in shape. More recently Kelli has been actively enjoying more outdoor pursuits such as trail running, hiking, camping and golfing; with kayaking and skydiving still on her list of things to do. Shortly after high school, Kelli completed her strength trainer certification with BCRPA and began working as a personal trainer in Langley out of a large co-ed facility. After three years of training, Kelli developed a real passion for an understanding of the complex nature of the human body and its physiology. As a result, she chose to further her education at the University College

of the Fraser Valley. During her time at UCFV, Kelli studied Kinesiology, the study of human movement, along with other related fields. Looking for new challenges while on the road to starting a Masters program in Exercise Physiology in the near future, Kelli strives to share her knowledge of the importance of training with all those willing to learn.

I have been taking Pilates classes for the past 10 months.  I have never found another exercise program that is so well suited to the equestrian. Many of the exercises fit perfectly to enhance the rider’s fitness and performance.  The program has enabled me to get back into the show ring after a ten year break with very little pain and also helped with my chronic back problems.  I have never felt better and THANK Pilates daily for its benefits. - Laura Balisky   Grand Prix Show Jumper   Two Time Olympian

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement. Encompassing the areas of human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics along with exercise physiology and exercise psychology, the relationship between the quality of movement and overall human health is studied. Kinesiology is often applied in such fields as physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, ergonomics, physical education and coaching. Whether therapeutic, preventative or high-performance in nature the application of Kinesiology can take several different approaches based on an individual’s needs.



Why should I work with a Kinesiologist?

The study of Kinesiology is a scientifically valid discipline that provides a Registered Kinesiologist the ability to take exercise prescription to the next level. A Kinesiologist will assess movement, or problems in movement with regard to physiology, anatomy and biomechanics. Whether you are looking at a therapeutic approach recovering from an injury, looking to address muscles imbalances that cause your everyday aches and pains, or looking to find that extra edge in your performance, a Kinesiologist can provide safe and effective exercise prescription to help you meet your goals.
