What Is the Code of Ethics of Kinesiologists?

The Canadian Kinesiology Alliance (CKA) accepts responsibility for delineating the ethical behaviour expected of Kinesiologists and has developed and approved this Code of Ethics as a guide.

The code has been prepared by Kinesiologists for Kinesiologists. It is based on the fundamental principles of kinesiology, especially compassion, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and respect for persons. It interprets these principles with respect to the responsibilities of Kinesiologists to individual clients, their families, their colleagues, other health care professionals, and society.

Kinesiologists work in many different settings and provide a variety of services. Legislation of health services differs from one province to another. The context in which you are providing services will help determine the type of documentation required and how invoices are prepared and submitted.
