What exactly is kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a practice that lies at the intersection of several disciplines, including medicine, biology and psychology, centered on the study of human movement.
It draws on principles of mechanics and anatomy to understand how our muscles, bones and joints interact during body movements. Kinesiologists analyze these interactions to improve physical performance, prevent injuries and promote optimal rehabilitation.
The discipline is generating a certain popularity in France, because it integrates aspects of physical therapy to provide non-invasive methods to promote general well-being, reduce stress and improve health mental and emotional of individuals… benefits that align perfectly with the virtues of cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids of the hemp plant!
Why do we go to the kinesiologist?
Several causes can motivate a patient to make an appointment with a kinesiologist:
- Rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries: People who have suffered musculoskeletal injuries or surgeries may be referred to a kinesiologist to aid recovery and restore motor function;
- Pain management, particularly patients who suffer from chronic pain, particularly back or joint pain;
- Pathologies linked to muscular imbalance or posture: people who suffer from posture problems or muscular imbalances due to a sedentary lifestyle or incorrect work postures can benefit from the interventions of a kinesiologist to correct these problems and avoid long-term complications;
- People who suffer from neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis can receive kinesiology treatments to improve their mobility and independence.
CBD, an interesting tool for kinesiologists and their patients
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is of interest to kinesiologists for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and soothing properties. This non-psychotropic and legal substance found naturally in the hemp plant is useful in several kinesiology applications:
- After an injury, pain can be a major obstacle in the rehabilitation process. CBD could help reduce this pain and allow the patient to perform their rehabilitation exercises;
- CBD has relaxing effects, which helps reduce stress and anxiety and thus create an environment more conducive to healing;
- CBD is an excellent anti-inflammatory. It helps relieve muscle pain and joint stiffness to restore mobility.
Kinesiologists who wish to integrate CBD into their treatments can do so in two ways:
- Perform massages with CBD oil;
- Recommend oral CBD products to their patients, including CBD oils full spectrum or capsules.
