Biokinetics at RehabMatters

Biokinetics deals with preventative health care, maintenance of physical abilities and final phase rehabilitation by means of scientifically-based physical activities. Programmes are specifically designed to meet the individuals needs and requirements. Biokinetics is an excellent therapy option for patients who have progressed through the acute stage of their physical rehabilitation and are looking to maintain their physical achievements and improve their general conditioning.

RehabMatters offers a small gym environment designed to meet physical rehabilitative needs and to promote the concept of “self-management” within a supervised environment. Biokineticists often make use of hydrotherapy as a rehabilitative tool. RehabMatters does not have a therapy pool but we have been able to secure the use of another pool within the area so that we are able to offer hydrotherapy as a therapy option to our patients.
