Ian CheesemanMy cousin’s knee started feeling dodgy after a minor car accident. He limped a bit if he got overly tired or sat down for too long.
Honestly, he thought he’d be living with it for years—it’s a good thing we pestered him to go to a kinesiologist.
The clinic helped him improve stability and get rid of that constant ache. He’s now back to walking and exercising as if nothing happened.
For those looking forward to being pain-free as well, here are the best kinesiologists in Toronto that you should try first.
How much do kinesiologists charge in Toronto?
In Toronto, kinesiologists charge between $80 to $120 per session, depending on the clinic and level of specialization.
Some clinics offer package deals or discounted rates if you book multiple sessions upfront.

Jaime, a Toronto-based kinesiologist with over 10 years of experience, is the Movement Maven Kinesiology.

The only tiny caveat is that she’s in high demand, so booking can be tricky at times.
Trauma-informed, body positive, and client-centered
“Jaime is an absolute rockstar at what she does; she is beyond knowledgeable and sincerely passionate about her work. Training with her has allowed me to better understand my body, how to best work with my chronic pain and its management, and how to push myself in positive and healthy ways! Her expertise and her approaches are always trauma-informed, body positive, and client-centered. I always feel comfortable, heard, and respected during our sessions. Plus, she always has great stories, is an A+ comedian, and will be your loudest cheerleader! Highly recommended.”

Real talk—we learned that they’re a bit pricey, which is something to keep in mind.
I’m truly happy with the progress I’ve made
“I’ve been working out with TO Kinesiology for almost three years now. After my surgery, I never imagined I could regain strength, but thanks to their expert guidance and personalized workouts, I’m getting stronger every day. I’m truly happy with the progress I’ve made. Nem and his team of professional trainers are the best!!!”

“I’ve been training at this gym for about two months with Dario, and the experience has been fantastic. I really appreciate that the trainers here are kinesiologists—it truly sets them apart. Dario has helped me work through persistent aches and pains that used to hinder my ability to move comfortably, especially during exercise. Through personalized training and soft tissue work, he’s helped me move and feel significantly better.

Contact Details: +1 416-967-3422
Business Hours:
- Mon – Thurs: 9 AM–5 PM
- Friday: 9 AM–3 PM
Corpus Sanus offers a non-invasive evaluation of the human body to hunt down the cause of a problem rather than just chasing the effects. They’ve even created a mix of techniques that include Applied Kinesiology and Manual Muscle Testing.
At the heart of these sessions is their resident kinesiologist, Lester Ponce, who honed his skills via the rigorous Strategex Toronto. He also picked up a Resistance Training Specialist certification.
We love that he doesn’t offer cookie-cutter sessions; each recovery exercise course is tailored specifically to your unique needs.
What sets his clinic apart is that they incorporate functional biochemistry, looking at your health’s chemical and nutritional side to allow for a much deeper investigation.
A downside we heard about is their communication. The team seems to be non-responsive to queries at times.
Completely changed the way I care for my body
“Lester is an absolute genius!!! I am thankful for him. Couldn’t figure out what was going on with me, doctors had no idea. Everything he said was 100% correct. He’s completely changed the way I care for my body. If something is going on, you gotta check him out. Someone who believes the body can heal itself is the person you need to work with. My iron level was low, felt like I was losing my mind, and I knew something was off. My short-term memory is completely gone. He found a parasite that was causing all these issues. He connects with you and listens to you.”

Applied kinesiology has produced the best results for me
“I have trusted Lester and his staff to assess and treat my injuries from exercising and living for over fifteen years. I’ve tried many other types of therapies, and applied kinesiology has produced the best results for me. I trust my health and fitness to Corpus Sanus.”

He’s known for Kinesiology Care, helping identify and correct global movement dysfunctions that may be causing pain or limiting performance.
Once the workout is over, that’s where the Recovery Pod comes in. It’s a dedicated space designed to speed up the clearing of post-workout muscle soreness and fatigue.
No place is perfect, of course. A few clients have told us that some of their treatments were not effective.
My care here has been personalized and effective
“Kinect Rehab is an outstanding clinic. The team is welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to helping people return to an active, healthy lifestyle. The space is clean, modern, and well-equipped, and the staff creates an atmosphere that’s both professional and comfortable.

“Jimmy is a fantastic practitioner. They are detail-oriented, were able to isolate my problem areas, and quickly assess and treat them with a combination of exercise prescription and manual therapy. It is clear that they enjoy what they do, and the passion is very evident from the first time you meet them. I have already booked my follow-up session for the new year, and I’m excited to see the progress of the exercises and training. Highly recommend Jimmy to anyone currently training or getting back to sport.”
