Biokinetics
WHAT DOES BIOKINETICS FOCUS ON?
Biokinetics is orthopaedic rehabilitation that focuses on preventative measures to heal the body. Exercise routines, physiotherapy and strength training are vital when managing chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease or an inflammatory condition such as arthritis.
Biokinetics consist of assessments that evaluate musculoskeletal diseases affecting parts or the entire limb. This specialised field equips you with the knowledge and skill to apply physical activity to prevent chronic illness or assists with recovery after sustaining a debilitating injury.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A BIOKINETICS CONSULTATION?
A biokinetics consultation typically lasts an hour. During a consultation, one of our biokineticists reviews your medical history and discusses your concerns about your gait, strength and balance. After completing a thorough assessment, we offer exercises to help you recover quickly. You can get the most out of these consultations and benefit from a concise, well-thought-of exercise programme.
Supervision is required in the first stages of rehabilitative training. Even though there is no quick fix to a prolonged injury, consistent training, physiotherapy and follow-up consultations with an experienced biokineticist can help manage the condition, which will, in the long-term, lead to a successful recovery.
An expert offers advice based on scientific research and notices postural cues hinting at an injury or chronic illness. These are significant aspects to consider when seeking out help concerning rehabilitation. At your initial consultation, you can expect to get expert advice on any injuries you may have, but full recovery will require regular consultations. You need to be diligent in adhering to our exercise programmes designed for your needs to get the most out of these sessions.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
After reviewing your medical conditions, including musculoskeletal diseases, we conduct a physical exam or a functional ergonomic assessment to determine the functionality of a specific limb-this includes testing posture, muscle strength and flexibility, as well as a range of motion.
We offer:
- Specialised tests concerning motion between joints and the condition of antagonistic muscle groups
- Prescription of orthopaedic rehabilitative programmes
- Rehabilitation with the assistance of electronic-hydraulic isokinetic systems
