Exercise your way to good health
Chantelle Hawkins Biokinetics is an independent biokinetics practice,
now based at Randburg Planet Fitness, in Ferndale on Republic 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.
Meet the Team
Chantelle and her team have extensive training and experience in biokinetics and are fully equipped to help you recover, gain strength, and feel better than you have in years.
Chantelle Hawkins
Chantelle is a highly experienced biokineticist with over 20 years in private practice, having opened her doors at Cresta Virgin Active in 2005. She now practices at Randburg Planet Fitness.An athlete herself — with two Ironman races and Comrades finishes to her name — Chantelle has always been drawn to the mechanics of movement, and her primary areas of interest remain orthopaedic conditions and biomechanics. This experience underpins her work in running conditioning and injury management, sports massage, and clinical Pilates.As a mother, Chantelle also brings a personal understanding to her work with pregnant clients. Having studied exercise and pregnancy, she's passionate about supporting women through the pre- and post-natal stages, helping them move safely and confidently through every phase.Alongside her B.Com Honours in Biokinetics, Chantelle holds certifications in Personal Training, Exercise in Pregnancy, Sports Massage, Clinical Pilates, and BASA Pilates — and offers Vitality Fitness Tests and Health Checks as part of her practice.Whether you're recovering from injury, training for your next race, navigating pregnancy, or simply looking to move and feel better, Chantelle brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and lived experience to every session.
Xenia Buntting
For Xenia, there is nothing quite like seeing a client move more freely, feel stronger, and walk out the door standing just a little bit taller than when they walked in. She holds a Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in Exercise Science, and went on to complete her Honours degree in Biokinetics at the University of the Witwatersrand. For just over five years now, she's been putting that qualification to good use as a practicing biokineticist — and she still gets a little thrill every time a client hits a goal they didn't think was possible.While Xenia has a special interest in orthopaedic rehabilitation, she is just as passionate about promoting overall wellness — because let's be honest, feeling good in your body shouldn't only happen after an injury. Warm, bubbly and endlessly encouraging, she brings genuine energy (and probably a bad joke or two) to every session, making her clients feel supported, understood and motivated from the very first appointment.Xenia is a firm believer in a holistic approach to care — she knows that no two bodies, lifestyles or goals are ever quite the same, so cookie-cutter programmes just aren't her thing. She takes the time to really get to know each client, tailoring every session to their individual needs, whether that's rehabilitating an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply building a stronger, healthier, more confident version of themselves.Above all, Xenia loves being part of her clients' journeys. Helping people feel their best, inside and out, is what gets her out of bed every morning — sweatpants on, coffee in hand, ready to cheer you on every step of the way.
