A Biokineticist is a Health care provider who uses exercise as their method of choice to treat disease, injury and movement disorders.
In todays modern society, with the rapid advancement of technology making our lives much easier and requiring us to use our bodies a lot less, it has come at a price- and that is our Health. This has given rise to the profession of Biokinetics, which 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.
We as biokineticists understand and empathise with the fact that everybody is different and every human body responds differently to stresses like exercise. We apply science and our deep knowledge of anatomy to determine each persons capacity to do exercise and then prescribe a carefully planned regime in order to treat the individuals limitations and symptoms.
Our philosophy is “Life through movement” and we believe everybody is capable of improving their quality of life through performing the right exercises on a regular basis.
