Josyanne Lapointe, kinesiologist with a behavior approach
My goal: to help you feel better
The best favour I can do for my clients is to give them concrete tools to understand how their brain and their environment can influence their relationship with physical activity.
I use a scientific approach rooted in the psychology of physical activity (the field in which I did my master's degree). I love my clients! But my goal is for them to no longer need me to enjoy moving.
What is a kinesiologist?
An expert who can help you safely adopt an active lifestyle
Some clients are referred to me by osteopaths or physiotherapists. They're looking to get moving after muscular pain, injury or surgery. Others are interested in training for: weight loss, muscle building, prevention... All reasons are good!
What they have in common: they want to integrate physical activity into their daily lives in the simplest, easiest and most enjoyable way possible. Sounds interesting?
What are the differences?
Together we can move, but sometimes talking gets you further!
A private coach is often like a training partner who pushes you to achieve your goals. That's great! But if the motivation isn't there, or if you need to unlearn a habit that leads to injury, a deeper intervention may be required.
That's where I come in. Kinesiology considers the body as a whole. It recognizes the relationship between movement and physical and mental well-being. To my experience as a kinesiologist, I have added a psychological component, resulting in a behavioral approach that is entirely personalized and akin to counseling. Our body is intelligent and adapts to our habits; we just have to be smarter than it is to guide it in the right direction!
