Everything you need to know before getting started.
A biokineticist is a healthcare professional who uses scientifically based exercise and movement programmes to help improve physical function, manage injuries and chronic conditions, and support rehabilitation and overall health.
No. You can book an appointment directly with a biokineticist. However, depending on your condition, medical history or rehabilitation needs, communication with your doctor or other healthcare professional may be recommended.
Biokinetic rehabilitation may be covered by medical aid, depending on your specific medical aid plan and available benefits. Coverage varies between medical schemes and plans, so it is best to confirm your available benefits before your appointment.
Your first consultation includes a detailed history and assessment of your movement, strength, mobility, balance and functional ability, depending on your individual needs. From there, we develop a personalised programme based on your goals and condition.
Biokinetics can assist with a wide range of rehabilitation and movement-related needs, including post-operative rehabilitation, joint replacements, musculoskeletal injuries, chronic conditions, balance and mobility concerns, strength and conditioning, and return-to-activity programmes.
Absolutely. Biokinetics isn’t only for rehabilitation. Exercise programmes can also be designed to improve strength, mobility, fitness, movement quality and overall physical function.
Yes. We believe in treating the person, not just the condition. Where appropriate, we work alongside other healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians and medical practitioners to ensure a well-rounded approach to your health, rehabilitation and long-term wellbeing.
If you’re unsure whether biokinetics can help with your condition or goals, get in touch before booking. We can discuss your needs and determine whether an assessment would be appropriate.
