RiAB, short for Rehabilitation in a Box, was developed as a comprehensive physical rehabilitation solution that fits neatly into a convenient take-away box. The primary aim was to provide education and essential tools to support individuals on their physical rehabilitation journey.
Building on the idea of RiAB, we now bring you RiAB Online—an all-inclusive physical rehabilitation solution that is available online. It's tailored for people seeking an improved quality of life when suffering from lifestyle related disease and health problems as well as those seeking optimal recovery from chronic health conditions, orthopedic injuries, or surgical procedures.

Biokineticist and Health Coach
I am a biokineticist with 18 years of experience in private practice and 4 years of lecturing experience. I have a PhD in Human Movement Studies (Sport Science) and believe that one should never stop learning. The primary goal of a biokineticist is embodied in the name 'bio-kinetics,' where 'bios' means life and 'kinesis' means movement. We work to enhance people's quality of life through movement and by promoting healthy lifestyle changes.
What is biokinetics:
A biokineticist is an exercise specialist recognized by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. They have to complete a four-year degree and one-year internship program. They collaborate closely within medical multidisciplinary teams.
Their speciality lies in designing scientifically tailored exercise programs, especially in the final phases of rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries, chronic diseases, and lifestyle-related issues.
With orthopedic rehabilitation patients usually start their journey with a physiotherapist, and then move forward with a biokineticist. However, the role of a biokineticist goes beyond rehabilitation; biokineticists are also deeply involved in disease prevention, performance enhancement and improving quality of life when suffering from lifestyle related chronic disease. In many of these instances, individuals can consult a biokineticist directly.
Albert Einstein once said, "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it."
I strongly believe that knowledge is power, BUT I also recognize that the way we learn has evolved. It's no longer just about acquiring knowledge; it's about putting that knowledge into action. Transformation over information.
In today's world, the ability to simplify and apply knowledge sets individuals apart. That is the unique feature of the structured RiAB programs – to provide you with a strong foundation of knowledge and equip you with the tools to implement that knowledge effectively.
My treatment approach is about empowering you to become an integral part of your rehabilitation solution. This starts with knowledge as the solid foundation on which you will build your personalised rehabiltiation journey.
So, welcome to RiAB, where I'm not just your biokineticist but also your health coach, guiding you toward a healthier, more fulfilling life through the power of knowledge, action and a positive mindset.
I am looking forward to sharing this journey with you.
The Power of Online Accessibility
As technology advanced, RiAB was adapted to include an online service. This online platform makes the program accessible to anyone, anywhere, and at any time (as long as there is a stable internet connection). RiAB online empower you on your rehabilitation journey toward better health and enhanced well-being.
