A provider trained and educated in the applied science of medically prescribed therapeutic exercise, education and adapted physical activities designed to improve the quality of line and health of adults and children by developing physical fitness, increasing mobility and independence, and improving psychosocial behavior. The kinesiotherapist seeks a coach-player relationship in which he/she helps the patient/client reach the goal of becoming an independent, self-sustaining person. Kinesiotherapists, as compared with physical therapists, put more emphasis on geriatric care, reconditioning and fitness, and psychiatric care. A large percentage of kinesiotherapists practice in Veterans Administration hospitals.

How taxonomy codes are used
Providers choose one or more taxonomy codes when they apply for an NPI, and mark one as primary. Payers use the taxonomy on claims and enrollment to match the provider type and specialty, so the code on the claim should match the taxonomy on the NPPES record.
