What is Biokinetics?
Biokineticists are clinical exercise specialists with a four-year post-graduate Honours degree who use scientifically based exercise programmes in preventative medicine, final phase rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
The essence of Biokinetics is the use of exercise as a medicine. The role of the Biokineticist is to function within a professional alliance between health and medicine. Biokineticists are recognised by and registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.
