McGill Kinesiology Clinic
Established in 2018, the Kinesiology Clinic is a teaching and training facility of the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education within McGill’s Faculty of Education. Supervised by kinesiologists, students practice techniques in exercise evaluation, prescription and programming, activity leadership, gait analysis, ergonomics, motivation, and sports psychology, as well as targeted interventions. Students conduct these activities, engaging with a varied population from individuals of average health to elite athletes, as well as people with special needs. The local community benefits from the Kinesiology Clinic through its low-cost workouts and other fitness-based offerings.
The Clinic also works in partnership with McGill Athletics and Recreation and the McGill Sports Medicine Clinic.
