Kinesiologists

Kinesiologists usually start as staff therapists at hospitals, clinics, or other health care facilities. After several years, they may become supervisors or department heads. Some move on to do consulting work for health care facilities. Some kinesiologists use their practical experience to conduct more research in the field, or they may teach at a kinesiology program. They may write for field newsletters or journals, reporting on their progress in rehabilitating a particular patient or in treating a specific disability. With advanced training, experienced kinesiologists may go on to more senior positions at health care centers, clinics, colleges, and related facilities.
