Biokinetics

Biokinetics is a specialised health profession that applies exercise and movement-based interventions to improve physical functioning and enhance quality of life. It focuses on the science of movement and exercise application in rehabilitative performance treatment.

Biokinetics is grounded in the principle that exercise and physical activity can treat and prevent chronic disease, manage and rehabilitate injuries, and optimise physical performance.

What is Orthopaedic Rehabilitation?

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation is a specialised service dedicated to assisting patients in recovering from orthopaedic surgeries, injuries, and conditions. Our team of expert biokineticists works closely with each patient to develop personalised treatment plans that focus on restoring strength, mobility, and functionality.

Through a combination of targeted exercises, manual therapy, and cutting-edge rehabilitation techniques, we aim to reduce pain, improve joint movement, and enhance overall quality of life. Whether you are recovering from joint replacement surgery, sports injuries, or managing chronic orthopaedic conditions, our orthopaedic rehabilitation program is designed to support you every step of the way towards achieving your optimal physical well-being.

What is strength testing (VALD testing)?

Strength Testing (VALD Testing) offers a cutting-edge approach to evaluating and enhancing physical performance through the latest in strength assessment technology. Utilising VALD's state-of-the-art equipment, our certified professionals conduct comprehensive strength tests that measure muscle force, endurance, and balance across various joints and muscle groups.

This precise analysis allows us to identify imbalances, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement, enabling the creation of tailored rehabilitation or training programs designed specifically for your needs. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimise performance, recovering from an injury, or aiming to increase your general physical strength, our Strength Testing (VALD Testing) service provides the insights and guidance necessary to achieve your goals.

What is Sport-specific rehabilitation and or training?

Utilising a comprehensive approach that includes injury prevention, rehabilitation, and conditioning, our team of experienced biokineticists and trainers develops personalised plans that incorporate advanced training techniques, functional exercises, and sport-specific drills.

This targeted strategy ensures a safe and effective return to sport while also working to improve strength, agility, endurance, and technique, reducing the risk of future injuries. Whether you're recovering from a sports injury or looking to elevate your performance, our Sport-Specific Rehabilitation and Training service is designed to support athletes at all levels in achieving their sporting goals.

How Can Biokinetics Assist in Chronic Disease Management?

Biokinetics provides tailored exercise programs to prevent or manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. By improving cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility, biokineticists help individuals reduce their risk factors and enhance their overall health and well-being.

These personalised programs are developed after a comprehensive assessment to improve functional capacity and reduce symptoms associated with chronic conditions.

Can Biokinetics Help With Posture and Ergonomic Assessments?

Biokinetics also plays a vital role in improving posture and addressing ergonomic issues. Biokineticists can help individuals improve their workplace ergonomics and daily posture through assessments and corrective exercise programs.

This helps reduce strain and discomfort and prevents the development of musculoskeletal disorders associated with poor posture and suboptimal working conditions.

What is the Importance of Functional Movement Screening in Biokinetics?

A functional movement screening is a critical component of biokinetics, used to assess an individual's movement patterns and identify asymmetries and limitations.

This screening helps develop customised exercise programs that address specific movement deficiencies, enhancing overall functional performance and reducing the risk of injury.

How Do Biokinetics Contribute to Weight Management?

Biokinetics offers comprehensive weight management programs that combine exercise, lifestyle modification, and nutritional guidance.

By focusing on sustainable exercise routines and healthy behaviours, biokineticists support individuals in achieving and maintaining:

  • A healthy weight.
  • Improving their metabolic health.
  • Enhancing their quality of life.
Are There Specialised Biokinetics Programs For the Elderly?
