Injury rehabilitation in Gqeberha
An injury rarely ends when the pain settles. Strength, range of motion, balance and confidence often lag behind, and that gap is where re-injury happens.
Biokinetic rehabilitation is the final phase of recovery: a structured, progressive exercise programme that takes you from "it doesn't hurt anymore" back to full function for work, daily life and sport.
This may help if you have
- Knee injuries, including ligament, meniscus and kneecap problems
- Ankle sprains and recurring ankle instability
- Shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff problems and dislocations
- Hip, hamstring and groin strains
- Tendon problems such as Achilles and patellar tendinopathy
- Weakness or stiffness after a fracture, a cast or time in bed
How it works
- Assess. We test strength, range of motion, balance and movement quality, compare the injured side with the healthy one, and talk through your goals.
- Plan. You get a programme matched to your stage of healing, with clear milestones. We coordinate with your doctor or physiotherapist where they are involved.
- Progress. Supervised sessions load the injured area safely and step up as you improve, with home exercises in between.
- Return. Before you go back to full activity we retest, so the decision is based on numbers, not on how it feels on a good day.
Questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book with a biokineticist directly. If a doctor or physiotherapist is already treating you, we'll work with them.
When should I start biokinetics after an injury?
Usually once the acute phase has settled and you can move the area without sharp pain. If you're unsure, book an assessment and we'll advise you, or refer you on if something else is needed first.
Is it covered by medical aid?
We work with all medical aids. How much is covered depends on your plan, so check your benefits with your medical aid.
