WHAT IS A BIOKINETICIST?
Biokineticists are healthcare professionals registered with the HPCSA who use exercise as the treatment. We assess how your body actually moves, find the imbalances and weak links, then prescribe a programme that fixes them — rather than guessing in a gym.
That covers a wide range: preparing for surgery, rehabbing after it, prehab that strengthens a body before it breaks, managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and squeezing more out of an already-fit athlete.
The point is measurement. We test, we prescribe, we re-test. You see the numbers move — not just how you feel on the day.
WHAT A SESSION IS LIKE.
TALK IT THROUGH
History, injuries, surgeries, training load, what you want to get back to. Bring scans, surgeon's notes or referral letters if you have them.
ASSESS
Posture analysis, joint mobility, muscle strength testing and functional movement screening. Where relevant we use VALD force plates and dynamometry to put real numbers on strength and asymmetry.
EXPLAIN
We show you what we found and what it means in plain language — no jargon, no scare tactics.
PROGRAMME
You leave with a personalised exercise plan you can actually do, whether that's here, at home or in your own gym.
RE-TEST
Follow-up sessions progress the plan and re-measure, so progress is tracked instead of assumed.
WHY PEOPLE BOOK IT.
MEASURED, NOT GUESSED
VALD testing gives objective strength and asymmetry data — a baseline you can be re-tested against.
POST-OP CONFIDENCE
Structured loading after surgery, in step with your surgeon's protocol.
FEWER INJURIES
Prehab corrects the imbalances and weaknesses before they become the thing that stops your season.
CHRONIC CONDITION CARE
Exercise prescribed as medicine for conditions like diabetes, hypertension and arthritis.

AFTER YOUR SESSION.
- →Expect some muscle fatigue for a day or two — that's normal loading, not damage.
- →Do the home programme. Two sessions a week here does very little without it.
- →Message us if a specific exercise causes sharp or joint-line pain, and we'll adjust it.

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED.
Is biokinetics covered by medical aid?
+
Biokinetics is a HPCSA-registered profession, so most South African medical aids will pay for sessions from your savings or day-to-day benefit. We give you an invoice with the correct practice and procedure codes to submit. Cover depends on your plan and remaining benefits, so check with your scheme first.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
+
No. You can book a biokinetics assessment directly. If you're coming after surgery or with a diagnosed condition, bring the referral letter, scans or surgeon's protocol — it lets us line the programme up with your medical team rather than working blind.
What's the difference between a biokineticist and a physiotherapist?
+
Physiotherapists treat the acute phase — pain, swelling, hands-on treatment straight after injury or surgery. Biokineticists take over from there, using prescribed exercise to rebuild strength, function and performance so the problem doesn't come back. Many clients see both.
What is a VALD assessment?
+
VALD is force-plate and dynamometry testing that measures strength, power and left-to-right asymmetry objectively. Instead of a therapist estimating that your right leg feels weaker, we get a percentage. It's how we set a baseline and prove progress at re-test.
What should I wear?
+
Comfortable training clothes and takkies you can move in. We'll ask you to squat, lunge, hop and reach, so avoid jeans and slip-on shoes.
