What is biokinetics?
Biokinetics is the profession concerned with health promotion, the maintenance of physical abilities and final phase rehabilitation, by means of scientifically-based physical activity program prescription.
What we do!
Our Biokineticists specialise in preventative medicine, physical activity as medicine, total well being, orthopaedics, health management, maintenance and enhancement of physical abilities and performance, and functional movement.
How does Biokinetics differ from physio?
The main difference is that biokinetics is a 2nd phase rehab, while a physio is a phase 1. This means that straight after injury/operation you should first visit the Physio, as they work to decrease the pain and swelling and restore full, pain free range of motion. After you have regained motion, you move on to the 2nd phase rehab with a biokineticist where we help strengthen and stretch the involved muscles before you return to your sport/everyday activities.
