Kinesiologist in North Vancouver
Active rehab that goes to the root. I am Saba Sedighi, a Registered Kinesiologist who also brings manual osteopathy and clinical Pilates into your recovery, so you rebuild strength and keep it.
What a kinesiologist does
Movement as medicine
A kinesiologist is a university-trained specialist in human movement. My work is active rehabilitation: assessing how your whole body moves, finding why it keeps hurting, and building a plan of exercise that gives you your strength and confidence back.
I do this differently. I am also a Manual Osteopath and a clinical Pilates instructor, so your kinesiology sessions can bring hands-on release, corrective exercise in the gym and clinical Pilates on the reformer together, with one person who knows your whole story.

How it works
Your sessions, step by step
We talk
You tell me your story, where it hurts, what you have tried, and what you want back.
We assess
I look at how your whole body moves, so we treat the cause and not only the sore spot.
We rebuild
A plan built with you: strength and mobility in the gym and on the Pilates reformer, progressed week by week.

Meet your kinesiologist
Saba Sedighi, RKin
After losing over 30 kg and earning a swimming championship while competing nationally in basketball and volleyball, I found my passion for rehabilitation and human movement. I studied kinesiology at the University of British Columbia and became a Registered Kinesiologist, then trained as a Manual Osteopath at the National Academy of Osteopathy and as a clinical Pilates instructor.
My care is trauma-informed and whole-body. I work on a lot of chronic issues, and I look for the root, not just the spot that hurts. Most people feel a shift within the first few visits.

She is an excellent kinesiologist and truly knows what she's doing. If you're looking for someone skilled, caring, and highly knowledgeable, I highly recommend Saba. She is truly one of the best!
Saba is incredible! She is deeply knowledgeable about the body, how it moves, and how to support injury recovery in a thoughtful and effective way. I've already recommended her to several friends. Highly recommend!
Saba's work is truly exceptional! Her treatment produced remarkable results in an incredibly short period of time. After living with chronic knee and back pain for six years, I experienced an improvement that previous treatments had not been able to achieve.
