| Biokineticists focus on two main sectors, namely Orthopaedic and Cardiac/Chronic Rehabilitation. With Orthopaedic rehabilitation, very often the patients present themselves for treatment without referrals. The Biokineticist has to be exceptionally well versed in all the orthopaedic tests and assessments. The Biokineticist has to make the diagnosis and determine the course of treatment. With Cardiac rehabilitation, the patient is most often referred by a GP or consultant and is then entrusted with the full monitoring of the patient while under a scientifically designed program. This is also the philosophy behind Biokinetic medicine – the entire body must function together for optimal health. If one part of the body is compromised with an injury, then the rest of the body must adapt and compensate for this, eventually leading to inflammation, pain, stiffness and other health conditions. Our approach is to use non-invasive manual therapies that focus on achieving total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine as well as the body’s nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. As a Biokinetics practitioner, I encourage you to become an active participant in your recovery plan. I work closely with you to improve your ability to move as you recover from illness, disease, injury or long periods of inactivity. Make an Appointment |
