I am a Biokineticist and Pilates instructor in Pretoria and Centurion.

What is Biokinetics? Biokinetics is a medically recognised professional discipline, applying scientifically based physical activity to help prevent disease or injury or to do final phase rehabilitation following the onset of disease or injury. It improves quality of life and performance (sport and work) through movement.

Biokineticists are registered with the Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and are bound to a strict code of ethics ensuring that all treatments which the patient receives are of highest quality.

What is Pilates? Pilates is a form of exercise which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through strength, flexibility and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful movement. Pilates can play a key role in overall health and fitness. It is a form of exercise that focuses on the individual's needs in relation to alignment, posture, toning, sport specific training and general health.

The benefits of Pilates include:* stress relief* relief of general aches and pains* improved coordination* improved flexibility* improved performance (sport and work)* postural improvement* increased endurance* increased overall strength* increased body tone* increased energy levels

Pilates emphasizes correct form while exercising and all Pilates moves require you to engage virtually your whole body. With so many exercise variations and progressions you may have a hard time getting bored with Pilates.
