Biokinetics

 

Our Biokinetics and Physiotherapists develop the Exercise Programs together. There is a strong focus on Strength and Conditioning within the 3 Dimensional Movement Model.

The Biokineticist has a University degree in the science of movement and therefor is at the heart of what Balance is all about. They are a natural partner to Physiotherapists and by working closely together can create a synergy of treatment between movement based exercises and body awareness.  The Biokineticists take great care in understanding injury and pathology and design a unique exercise programme for each patient’s individual needs. Strength is often a missing component and improving strength within muscle groups has a long lasting effect on all functions. Biokineticists at Balance have a special interest in strength and conditioning which will ensure that if the patient lacks strength, a safe effective programme can be designed to get you stronger.
