Kinesiologist

About Stem Health

Stem Health is reimagining the primary care experience for individuals who want a more thoughtful relationship with their health. Physician-led and membership-based, we combine medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality anchored in a beautifully designed flagship clinic at First Canadian Place, opening September 2026. Our care model is relationship-based, data-informed, and built on time, trust, and exceptional service.

Position Summary

Stem Health believes that true preventive care begins with understanding how the body actually moves, performs, and adapts. We are looking for a skilled and scientifically grounded Kinesiologist to bring that understanding into our clinical model translating objective movement and fitness data into meaningful, actionable health insights for each member.

In this role, you will conduct comprehensive movement, biomechanical, and cardiorespiratory fitness assessments and develop individualized exercise and performance programs that form part of each member's broader health picture. You will be embedded in an interdisciplinary clinical team, collaborating with physicians, physiotherapists, and allied health providers to ensure your findings are integrated into the member's Unified Health Story. This is an invitation to practice kinesiology with the depth, time, and clinical context it deserves.

Key Responsibilities

Biomechanical and movement assessment

• Conduct comprehensive biomechanical and functional movement assessments to identify movement patterns, compensations, and injury risk factors.
• Administer validated movement screening tools (including FMS and related protocols) to establish baseline function and guide individualized programming.
• Analyze gait, posture, joint mechanics, and movement efficiency across a range of activities relevant to each member's lifestyle and health goals.
• Communicate findings clearly to members translating complex biomechanical observations into accessible, actionable language.

Cardiorespiratory fitness and VO2 max testing

• Administer maximal and submaximal aerobic capacity tests, including VO2 max assessments.
• Collaborate with the clinical team to ensure cardiorespiratory data informs clinical decision-making, preventive care planning, and longitudinal health tracking.
• Administer ECG monitoring during exercise testing as required, in coordination with the clinical team.

Exercise prescription and program design

• Develop evidence-based, individualized exercise programs grounded in biomechanics, physiology, and each member's specific health goals — whether that is injury prevention, longevity, athletic performance, chronic disease management, or general wellbeing.
• Design progressive training plans that account for a member's medical history, fitness baseline, functional limitations, and lifestyle.
• Deliver one-on-one exercise sessions and guided programming, instructing members in proper technique with precision and care.
• Reassess and adapt programs over time based on objective progress data and evolving health goals.

Interdisciplinary collaboration and documentation

• Work closely with the broader clinical team physicians, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and allied health providers to integrate kinesiology findings into each member's care plan via the clinic's EHR system.
• Participate in case reviews and contribute a movement science perspective on presentations with musculoskeletal, metabolic, or cardiovascular components.
• Document all assessments, programs, and session notes with accuracy and timeliness.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, Exercise Science, or a related field; a Master's degree or advanced certification is a significant asset.
• Registered Kinesiologist (R.Kin.) in good standing with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario (CKO).
• Minimum 2–3 years of clinical or applied experience in kinesiology ideally in a private clinic, executive health, or performance medicine setting.
• Demonstrated experience conducting VO2 max and cardiorespiratory fitness testing using ACSM protocols, with strong understanding of clinical interpretation.
• Proficiency in biomechanical analysis, functional movement screening, and evidence-based exercise prescription.
• Personal training certification is an asset.
• Experience working within an EHR system and an interdisciplinary clinical team.
• Exceptional communication skills: the ability to translate data into meaningful health narratives for members and colleagues alike.
• Genuine alignment with Stem Health's philosophy of proactive, relationship-based, member-centred care.

Ideal Candidate

You are someone who sees fitness test results not as a number but as a window into cardiovascular age, longevity risk, and the space between where a member is and where they could be. You bring the scientific rigour of a researcher and the warmth of a coach. You document meticulously, collaborate naturally, and communicate your findings in a way that motivates rather than overwhelms. You do not need a high-volume caseload to feel useful; you feel most at home in environments where depth and quality of care are the standard.

Why Join Stem Health

• Join the founding clinical team of a physician-led, membership-based clinic at First Canadian Place opening September 2026.
• A model built for depth: time-rich appointments, a motivated member population, and the clinical data infrastructure to track what actually matters.
• Integrated support from an interdisciplinary team your assessments and programs live inside a Unified Health Story that every provider can see and build on.
• A beautifully designed clinic environment that reflects the standard of care you deliver.
• Meaningful growth: help us set the benchmark for proactive, movement-informed health in Canada.
