What is a Biokineticist?

A Biokineticist is an exercise therapist who improves a person’s physical status and quality of life through individualised assessment and the prescription of preventative or rehabilitative exercise therapy.

Biokinetics is a registered profession that works together with other health care professionals such as Orthopedic Surgeons, Doctors, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists to improve the clients quality of life.

Biokinetics training entails four years of academic education (degree) and two years of professional (internship) exposure. In the process, five years of training is required prior to registration as a Biokineticist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.

We are recognised by medical aids and therefore clients can claim back expenses for rehabilitation from their medical aid.
