This 33-credit graduate diploma (DESS) at Université de Sherbrooke is the only program of its kind in Quebec, training kinesiologists to specialize in therapeutic exercise and manual therapy for musculoskeletal conditions such as postural problems, chronic pain, and muscular imbalances. Graduates develop a range of therapeutic approaches to help clients of all ages manage musculoskeletal issues, build autonomy, reduce the risk of relapse, and support overall well-being, applying evidence-based, ethically grounded clinical reasoning. The program is offered full-time on the main Sherbrooke campus, completed over two terms with winter admission, and part-time at the Longueuil campus, completed over six terms with fall admission in odd-numbered years only. It broadens kinesiologists' scope of professional practice and is a credential frequently sought by employers recruiting kinesiologists.

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold an undergraduate degree in kinesiology, or an equivalent qualification — including a doctorate in chiropractic, a bachelor's-master's in occupational therapy or physiotherapy, or a doctorate in podiatry — with a minimum cumulative undergraduate average of 2.7 on a 4.3 scale. Applicants must submit their undergraduate transcript and an up-to-date curriculum vitae. All admitted candidates must have a very good command of French, sufficient to understand, speak, and write clearly and accurately; proof of French proficiency is required, either through an exemption or by reaching level C1 (a score of 500 or higher out of 699 across all four language skills — reading, listening, speaking, and writing) on a recognized test. Required admission documents include a valid attestation of French-language proficiency across all four skills, an academic transcript, and a curriculum vitae. The program admits full-time students at the Sherbrooke campus in the winter term, and part-time students at the Longueuil campus in the fall term of odd-numbered years only.
