Initial Assessment
Biokineticists can help improve your quality of life, or your sporting performance, by providing you with a customised exercise health plan that addresses your specific needs. This is based on the outcome of a thorough individualised assessment.
Biokinetic Sessions
Biokinetic sessions apply scientifically based stretches and exercise, offering preventative treatment & rehabilitation to manage injuries & disease, and to do final phase rehabilitation following the onset of injury.
Biocore Pilates
Core conditioning exercise programs need to target all muscles that stabilize the spine and pelvis and run the entire length of the torso to be effective. Pilates works several muscle groups simultaneously, with a particular concentration on strengthening and stabilising the spine.
Maintenance Plans
For those that don’t do Pilates, consistent exericse is still recommended to maintain strength and a healthy quality of life… Talk to me about a tailor-made solution and maintenance plan post biokinetic rehab.
What is Biokinetics?
The word Biokinetics is taken from the Greek word “BIOS” which means “life” and “KINESIS” which means “movement“.
In other words, it refers to the maintenance of quality of life through the use of physical activity.
In essence, it represents “Life Through Movement.“
Biokinetics is a medically recognized professional discipline, applying scientifically based physical activity, to either help prevent disease or to do final phase rehabilitation following the onset of disease.

The profession is recognised by and registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.
