Exercise therapy for chronic disease and orthopaedic rehabilitation, and the return-to-sport testing that decides when it is actually safe to go back.

Exercise as treatment, properly supervised.
Biokinetics is the final phase of rehabilitation and the long-term management of chronic conditions through movement. It is what turns "the pain has gone" into "it has not come back".
What we work with
Two kinds of patient — rehab, and chronic.
Some people arrive here from the physiotherapy room next door. Others are sent by a GP or specialist to manage a long-term condition through structured exercise.
- Post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation
- ACL and knee reconstruction recovery
- Shoulder and rotator cuff rehabilitation
- Chronic lower back pain
- Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
- Hypertension and cardiac rehabilitation
- Osteoporosis and bone density
- Osteoarthritis management
- Balance and falls prevention
- Return-to-sport testing
- Pre-season screening for clubs
- Workplace ergonomic assessment
If you are still in pain and have not been assessed, start with physiotherapy — biokinetics works best once the acute stage is behind you.
Your first appointment
Measured at the start, measured again later.
The first session is an hour of assessment: strength, range, balance, and where relevant a submaximal fitness test. Everything is written down, because the point of a baseline is to compare against it in eight weeks.
- Bring your surgeon's or GP's notes. If you are post-operative, the surgical protocol tells Rushda what is safe to load and when — it saves a fortnight of guesswork.
- Training clothes and closed shoes. The first session includes movement, not just talking. There is a change room and a shower.
- A programme you can do elsewhere. Written for the equipment you actually have — a commercial gym, a home setup, or nothing but a resistance band.
Biokinetics fees
Published, and the same for everyone.
Biokinetics is covered by most schemes from a day-to-day benefit, and by some chronic-condition benefits where a GP has motivated for it.
Session blocks are not refundable but are transferable to another member of your household. How medical-aid billing works →

Practitioner details and registration numbers on this page are placeholders for demonstration.
This page is information, not a diagnosis. Nothing here replaces an individual assessment by a registered practitioner, and no outcome is promised or implied. If you have a diagnosed cardiac condition, we will ask for clearance from your doctor before starting exercise testing.
