Clinical Rehabilitation

Movement is medicine, and that is especially true when living with a chronic condition. As part of your multidisciplinary healthcare team, we work alongside your doctor and specialists to prescribe safe, science-based exercise that helps you manage your condition and take back control of your health.

Exercise-based care for chronic conditions

Biokinetics operates in health care, not sick care. We focus on the root cause, build lasting habits and teach you how to advocate for your own body and health.

Cardiovascular disease

Regular, correctly prescribed exercise is one of the most effective tools for improving heart health. Whether you are managing high blood pressure, high cholesterol or recovering after a cardiac event or procedure, we monitor your heart rate and blood pressure while gradually building fitness, strength and confidence.

Diabetes

Exercise plays a key role in improving blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity. We combine cardiovascular and strength training to support healthy glucose levels, body composition and energy, and teach you how to exercise safely around your medication, meals and blood sugar readings.

COPD

Living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease can make everyday activities feel exhausting. Our breath-based approach combines breathing techniques, endurance training and strengthening to improve exercise tolerance, reduce breathlessness and help you stay independent and active for longer.

Osteoarthritis

Research shows that the right type of exercise reduces pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis. We strengthen the muscles that support your joints, improve mobility and help you stay active, whether you are managing symptoms or preparing for or recovering from joint replacement surgery.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis affects posture, muscle balance and breathing mechanics differently in every person. We assess your individual curve and focus on postural awareness, core stability, breath work and targeted strengthening to reduce discomfort and support long-term spinal health from adolescence through adulthood.

Cancer & cancer treatment

Exercise before, during and after cancer treatment can help reduce fatigue, maintain muscle mass and bone density, and improve quality of life. We work with your oncology team to adapt your programme to each phase of treatment and how you feel on the day.

Autoimmune disease

Autoimmune conditions often come with fluctuating symptoms, fatigue, joint pain and stiffness. We build flexible, individualised programmes that respect flare-ups and good days alike, focusing on maintaining mobility, strength, balance and independence.

How your programme works

Biokinetics is scientific. We use proven protocols to build your programme and continuously track your progress.

  1. Assess

    We review your medical history and any input from your doctor, then assess your fitness, strength, mobility and how your condition affects daily life.

  2. Prescribe

    You receive a safe, individualised exercise programme, adapted to your condition, medication and energy levels.

  3. Track & adapt

    We monitor your response, retest regularly and adjust your programme as your health and goals change.

Nikki is warm-hearted and caring, but at the same time very professional. She has a plan and goal for every patient.
