About John Gray RKIN - Kinesiologist

There is a huge gap between physical/medical therapy outcomes and actually being able to return to life the way it was before your health problem happened. Trends like "core strengthening" and "functional training" have become terms even your grandma knows, but they have almost no research evidence to support them. In the real world, many people (from patients to athletes alike) realized this the hard way. I've always been driven to understand this relationship better. I went from focusing on the biomechanics of sports and performance as an undergrad to doing a Master's degree with the Clinical Mechanics Group at Queen's University to study anatomical forces that cause hip and knee arthritis. Later, I joined internationally recognized spine biomechanics expert Stuart McGill, Ph.D., to research spine loading and injury mechanisms during weight training exercises. I apply the skills and knowledge gained from these experiences to help my clients progress in their function, movement, and performance. No hype required.
