Welcome
Hi there,
My name is Aimée and I am a Biokineticist. I help my patients with their orthopaedic injuries, assist them in managing chronic disease and promote wellness. I use scientifically applied movement and exercise and I’d love to help you too.

Biokineticsts
are registered Health Care practitioners with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). We undergo vigorous training in the assessment and treatment of injury and disease including a year-long internship and a research dissertation.
Services
Orthopeadic
Biokineticists are trained to asses and treat overuse and acute musculoskeletal injuries. We seek the to find the “why”. I aim to mend the true cause of your injury and treat your body holistically.
Chronic Disease
Exercise is medicine and as such can be prescribed to specifically manage and even reverse chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Specific disease protocols guide treatment, and each patient is treated as an individual.
Neurological
Patients with neurological conditions respond beautifully to exercise treatment. I am qualified to treat chronic progressive disorders such as Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis, and acute conditions such as brain and spinal cord trauma. Each patient is unique and treated with the utmost respect and care.
Special Populations
Children, pregnant women and older adults are considered “special populations”. This is because they have unique traits, risks, and goals that need to be considered when designing an exercise programme. I am able to guide these patients with sound understanding to reach their health goals.
Wellness Promotion
Wellness is not merely the absence of disease, but the promotion of vitality, energy and wellbeing. Biokineticists are important promoters of Wellness in our community. We educate and inspire you to live healthily. This is also known as preventative health care.
Sport Specific
Each sport has a unique demand on the human body and mind. Biokineticists are thus able to “pre-habilitate” athletes preparing them for intense competition and preventing typical injuries. In addition, due to our training in exercise physiology you are specifically prepared for the physiological demand of your sport.
About Aimée
When I was a little girl my grandmother had a total knee replacement. It creaked on rainy days and it stopped her from doing physical stuff like climbing stairs. She slowly became overweight and depressed and I longed to help her. Later, my dad injured his back. He underwent a surgery that left him in excruciating pain, often unable to sleep at night. I was distraught at his hopelessness. Then, when I turned 17, we discovered a bone tumour in my neck which had caused me 3 years of nerve pain in my right shoulder and arm. I was cured after an operation but discovered a depth of compassion for the experience of physical pain and functional limitation.
These experiences have shaped my empathy and made me fascinated with the idea of being able to assist others. After becoming a yoga teacher in 2012, this curiosity deepened with each person that I taught. During an anatomy workshop in 2014, I discovered Biokinetics. I was gripped and went on to complete 5 years of study in Bachelor of Biokinetics through the University of Johannesburg. My yoga teaching still strongly informs my approach as I respect the value of mindfulness and breathing in the healing space.
