On-site biokinetics · CAW Bio

Rehabilitation & performance, in-house

CAW Bio's registered biokineticists manage the centre and provide evidence-based exercise therapy on site — from injury rehabilitation to chronic conditions, senior wellness and health assessments.

What is biokinetics?

Biokinetics is the science of movement and the application of exercise in rehabilitation and performance. A biokineticist is a registered health professional who uses individually-tailored exercise to improve function, manage chronic conditions and restore quality of life — bridging the gap between medical treatment and a full return to activity.

At Groenkloof, every member starts with a risk assessment, after which your biokineticist prescribes a program built just for you.
