CareChain is supported by applying a service fee on each completed health care service using CareChain. CareChain fees vary by service and are calculated as a percentage of the fee paid by the patient (or another payor).

Specific information about CareChain fees is available through your account. You may determine which health care services, if any, are provided using CareChain. You will be informed of CareChain fees before deciding to offer a health care service.

As an independent health care provider using CareChain, you determine which health care services are provided using CareChain, the locations from which such health care services are provided, and when and for how long such health care services are offered through CareChain. You have complete discretion to engage in activities or other business or employment endeavors.

Kinesiologists will receive patient appointment bookings through CareChain.

Only physiotherapists offering specialty assessment and triage services using CareChain’s NEURO-MSK AI SUPPORT MODULE will be permitted to refer patients to specialists when indicated.

CareChain supports two types of custodians of patient records: health care providers and partners (e.g., healthcare institutions) .

As a health care provider, you remain the custodian of patient records connected to any health care services provided using CareChain, unless you are providing health care services from a practice location operated by a health care partner. In such cases, the health care partner will be the custodian of patient records connected to the health care services.

Please submit the registration form. A CareChain representative will be in contact with you with next steps.

Kinesiologists (also known as “kinesiotherapists” or “kinesiologues”) are healthcare professionals who specialize in the science of human body movement, performance, and function. They focus on the management, active rehabilitation, and prevention of injuries and chronic physical problems. Kinesiologists work in diverse healthcare settings such as health clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and fitness centers. They offer personalized exercise programs, nutritional advice, lifestyle counseling, and injury prevention strategies. Additionally, they may incorporate massage and other manual therapy techniques into their treatment approach.

In Canada, kinesiologists must have completed a Bachelor’s degree in kinesiology or a related discipline, such as human kinetics, from an accredited university. To ensure that they meet the standards of professional practice, most provincial kinesiology associations mandate that kinesiologists pass an accreditation exam. However, kinesiology is not currently a regulated profession in most provinces, except Ontario. In Ontario, kinesiologists must pass an entry-to-practice exam to obtain the professional titles such as “kinesiologist,” “registered kinesiologist”, or the designation “R.Kin”.

Kinesiologists can treat and manage a diverse range of conditions, including but not limited to: musculoskeletal pain (e.g., back, neck, shoulder, knee, or hip pain), neurological conditions (e.g. stroke, brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease), mental health conditions (e.g. anxiety, depression), and developmental disabilities (e.g. Down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy).

You should consider seeing a kinesiologist if you are experiencing chronic pain in your neck, back, shoulder, knee, or hip. While you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a kinesiologist, it’s important to promptly seek evaluation from a physician and/or physiotherapist if you experience new physical pain. Whether you are recovering from an injury or surgery, managing a chronic health condition or striving to improve physical fitness, scheduling an appointment with a kinesiologist can help you achieve your health goals.

During your first appointment, your kinesiologist will perform an assessment of your physical concerns, medical history, and desired outcomes. To determine the best course of action for your condition, your kinesiologist may administer a series of tests to evaluate your range of motion, strength, flexibility, and balance. Using this information, your kinesiologist will offer health recommendations and design a personalized treatment plan which may include exercises, stretches, and other techniques to prevent injuries, alleviate pain, and optimize physical performance.
