Mobility is important - but without stability, joints become more vulnerable to injury. Biokinetics helps strengthen the muscles that support your joints, improving movement control and reducing unnecessary strain during daily activities and exercise.

When joints are stable, movement becomes more efficient, comfortable and sustainable over time. Strong support around the joints can also help reduce the likelihood of recurring pain or injury.

Excited to share our latest published article exploring the prevalence and severity of hallux valgus in older adults from South Africa and Belgium. 🦶🏼🌍

A heartfelt thank you to all the collaborators and participants who made this research possible. It is a privilege to contribute to a better understanding of foot health in ageing populations and to collaborate across continents in addressing important health challenges.

Every publication represents a team effort, and I am grateful to have been part of this journey.

Next in our Movement Myth Busters series...

Movement Myth: 'If you exercise regularly, you don’t need a biokineticist.'

❌ Fiction
Being active doesn’t always mean moving correctly.

✅ Fact
Many active individuals have underlying imbalances, poor movement patterns or inefficiencies that increase injury risk over time. Biokinetics focuses on improving movement quality, not just quantity.

Better movement leads to better performance and fewer setbacks.

Absolutely! Active rehabilitation when indicated is the golden standard!

It's BAAACK! Our series, Movement Myth Busters!

The first movement myth this week: 'Rest is always best when you’re injured.'

❌ Fiction
While rest may be necessary initially, prolonged inactivity can lead to stiffness, muscle loss and delayed recovery.

✅ Fact
Guided, progressive movement helps restore strength, mobility and function. Biokineticists carefully reintroduce movement at the right time to support healing and reduce re-injury risk.

Movement - when prescribed correctly, is part of recovery.
