Being active is important when you have kidney disease. Exercise can help you stay strong, healthy, and feel better every day.
Alberta Kidney Care offers safe exercise programs to help you improve your fitness and quality of life.
A kinesiologist is a member of your healthcare team. They can help you stay active safely and create an exercise plan that is right for you.
A kinesiologist can help you:
Working with a kinesiologist can help you keep moving, feel stronger, and improve your overall well-being.
Your nurse or kidney doctor can arrange a visit with a Kinesiologist, either in person or virtually.
During your first visit, you will meet with a kinesiologist and complete an assessment. This helps us make sure exercise is safe for you and understand your current fitness level.
Your kinesiologist will use this information to create a personalized exercise plan based on your needs and goals.
If you receive hemodialysis, a kinesiologist may visit you during your treatment to talk about simple ways to be active while on dialysis or at home. You can also ask a member of your healthcare team to refer you to a kinesiologist.
