Unions and Associations
Kinesiotherapists do not belong to unions. The American Kinesiotherapy Association is the major membership organization for kinesiologists. It offers information on careers, continuing education opportunities, and other resources. The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs accredits kinesiology education programs. Other useful organizations for kinesiologists include the National Academy of Kinesiology (which publishes Kinesiology Review), American Society of Biomechanics, International College of Applied Kinesiology, and SHAPE America.
