What do you know about visiting a kinesiologist vs a physiotherapist?

We have the option of either..

Thoughts?
 
Kinesiology is one basis from which physical therapy is derived. Yet, kinesiology and physical therapy are not the same thing. While both understand movement and biomechanics, PTs have a deeper understanding of the disease model process and assessment and diagnostic triage.

...Kinesiology is often in what students major before they go to physical therapy school. It will give you a basic background in movement and biomechanics.

I am quoting this from a physiotherapist. I googled Kinesiologist vs physiotherapist and this is what I got.
