Improve quality of life through movement

About

I am a qualified biokineticist with more than 20 years of experience in private practice and four years of lecturing experience at the University of Pretoria. I hold a PhD in Human Movement Studies (Sport Science) and remain committed to evidence-based practice and ongoing professional development.

Biokinetics is grounded in the science of movement. The profession derives from the words bios (life) and kinesis (movement), reflecting its primary goal: improving quality of life through scientifically structured exercise and rehabilitation.

My Clinical Approach

Movement is the foundation of my practice. Through detailed assessment and structured exercise prescription, I aim to restore function, improve strength and mobility, and support long-term physical resilience.

Where appropriate, lifestyle factors known to influence recovery — including sleep, stress regulation, nutrition, and mindset — are integrated into the rehabilitation plan through a structured, evidence-informed framework.

Effective rehabilitation requires active participation. My approach focuses on equipping patients with the knowledge and structure necessary to engage fully in their recovery journey, with the objective of achieving measurable functional progress and sustainable long-term outcomes.
