INJURY & CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION
Kinesiologists are leaders in the prevention of injury and chronic disease. For example, the Public Health Agency of Canada found that “Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of over 25 chronic conditions.” Those include coronary heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, high blood pressure, strokes, Alzheimer's disease and certain mental health conditions. As experts in human movement and exercise science, Kinesiologist’s can help develop, improve and sustain healthy exercise and physical activity habits to help prevent chronic disease
PERFORMANCE
Kinesiologists are devoted to improving performance, health, and overall quality of life. We can all improve performance, function and well-being with movement and exercise. Kinesiologists work with people of all ages and every level of function and physical ability to assess, track, manage and achieve a broad range of personal health goals

Deanna Zelinka, Ba Hons(Kin), CPed(C), CPed Tech(C) Canadian Certified Pedorthist, Kinesiologist

Deanna graduated with a bachelor of Kinesiology from The University of Western Ontario in 2003 as an Academic All-Canadian in varsity track and rowing. Throughout her University years, Deanna gained a particular interest for gait biomechanics and exercise therapy. Upon the completion of her degree, Deanna began her career in Kinesiology as a physical therapy assistant and as a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, training sports performance centre athletes in her home town of London Ontario.

Deanna earned a post graduate diploma in Pedorthics from the University of Western Ontario and completed her CPed(C) and CPed Tech(C) National certifications by 2007. With the help of working with clinical professionals from all over the country, the field of Pedorthics has allowed Deanna to collaborate personal interests in rehabilitative exercise therapy and high performance training, with her interest of how Pedorthic treatment can enhance our biomechanics, alignment, and our body’s ability to heal. Deanna’s interest in biomechanics, footwear and helping people stay active and healthy prompted her to find her calling in a complimentary career path in Pedorthics. Deanna’s interest in pushing her own physical limits has drawn her to many competitive athletic pursuits outside of varsity sport - most notably triathlons, marathons, weight training and competing as a member of Canada’s track and field team in javelin.

Since moving her practice to the East Kootenays, Deanna decided to launch her own business after successful careers in both pedorthics and kinesiology in Kamloops and Vernon.
