Bella Vista Kinisiologia

by Heather Navarette-Linnemayer

I had a great opportunity to meet a kinesiologist (physical therapist) named Laura who allowed me to watch her work on a patient who was recovering from a knee injury.

Laura is highly trained in lymph drainage but also works a lot with magnets and electrostimulation. I enjoyed discussing the differences in our professions.

She is covered by the public medical insurance as well as state, but in some cases if the techniques that she is offering are outside the normal protocol she will charge an extra fee when the patient has the ability to pay.

She also does continuing education like we do in the states, so I gave her a copy of the Visceral Manipulation class that will be coming to Buenos Aires this fall. I was excited to see that she had a separate room with exercise equipment to help with rehabilitation. Her office was the most comfortable and the best equiped one I have been in yet. She has a good eye for interior decorating. Her assistant is also in the photo on my right.
