Exercise your way to good health
Chantelle Hawkins Biokinetics is an independent biokinetics practice,
based at the Cresta Virgin Active in Randburg, Johannesburg.
Is biokinetics right for me?
- Are you experiencing any muscle or joint pain on a regular basis?
- Have you picked up an injury from a repetitive motion - either from playing a sport or from an occupational movement?
- Have you recently given birth, had surgery, or suffered from a disease that's affected your mobility?If you said yes to any of these things, then it's very likely that biokinetics will help you.
You see, pain and discomfort are warning signs that there is a problem. But often, the problem is not necessarily in the part of the body where the pain is occurring. Without addressing the problem, the body tends to compensate in ways that put undue stress on other parts of the body (usually the back), and the pain continues, spreads, or gets worse.As biokineticists, we focus on alleviating symptoms by treating the root cause of the problem.We identify the postural changes and altered movement patterns that a patient has developed that are placing an increased amount of stress on their muscles and joints.Then, through targeted exercises, we rectify these problems to reduce the patient's symptoms.Typically, this approach serves as a long-term solution to musculoskeletal injuries, as well as prevention for recurrence.
