"Bio" = LIFE

"Kinetics" = MOVEMENT

Therefore, Biokinetics = 'Life through Movement'

"Biokinetics is the profession concerned with health promotion, the maintenance of physical abilities and final phase rehabilitation, by means of scientifically-based physical activity programme prescription." - BASA.

​

Steph Kriel Biokineticist is located in the Genesis Youth Cenre in Port Shepstone, where I have a private room equipped for all my patients' needs.

I make use of the Genesis Gym & the LiveIt Functional Fitness Gym facilities (located in the same building) to either complement my rehabilitation sessions,

or for athletic & sport-specific training.

​

After graduating, I completed my internship with Swiegers & Associates Biokinetics, which is based in Ballito at the I Move Fitness High Performance Gym & Medical Centre. There I gained excellent experience treating various sporting injuries, orhopaedic injuries, postural problems & chronic conditions. The exposure I received in all the different aspects of Biokinetics made me realise that I have a passion for every aspect of the profession & not only one aspect alone.

At the end of my internship year, I moved to the South Coast to start my own practice.

​

Along with exercise rehabilitation, I do: sport-specific fitness testing, medical aid fitness testing (Discovery Vitality, Momentum Multiply), general conditioning & sport-sepcific conditioning.

 

To keep myself healthy & fit, I particicpate in CrossFit style classes at the Genesis Fit (G-Fit) Functional Fitness Gym, go for short-distance trail & road runs with my husband & our dogs, & I also enjoy hiking.
