Welcome

Hi,

Welcome to my Biokinetics page.

I am a Cape Town Biokineticist that is based in Wembley Square in Gardens.

If you are new to the concept of Biokinetics the short and sweet version is that Biokineticists are exercise specialists. We sell exercise. It is obviously a bit more complicated. But essentially Biokineticists are medical professionals that will assess a patient’s needs and then prescribe exercises accordingly.

Feel free to browse my Biokinetics webpage and send me a message on the contact section if you would like me to contact you to arrange our first meeting.

Keep well. Keep exercising.

Trail Running Exercises

by Neil Hopkins Biokineticist, posted in Uncategorized

These exercises are pretty basic trail running exercises. They are not designed to make you invincible. They are a value-add to compliment your trail running programme. If you have an injury, or if you feel that you need a more comprehensive programme and a face-to-face consultation then you should reach out and make an appointment with a professional in your area. You can make an appointment with a physiotherapist or biokineticist in your area to discuss your injury concerns.

Online Biokinetics Consultations

by Neil Hopkins Biokineticist, posted in Uncategorized

If you are injured or want to work on your physical health you can contact a biokineticst or physiotherapist in your area. Otherwise reach out to a physiotherapist or biokineticist that you have a good working relationship with to see if they are offering online consultations. If you are not a suitable candidate for telehealth or telerehabilitation you will be asked to wait until after the lock-down has ended, or referred on for a face-to-face consultation if your condition is serious and warrants immediate care.

Low back pain: Balancing mobility and stability

by Neil Hopkins Biokineticist, posted in Uncategorized

If you are shoved into a generic Pilates class or force-fed the same tired dogma of core stability it is time for a change.  It is important to read wider than just the echo chamber of core and Pilates posts in your local magazine or Facebook feed. If you need bespoke exercise advice, seek out a Biokineticist / Physiotherapist with special interest in low back rehabilitation, but do not settle for mediocrity. Science has evolved and the Biokineticist / Physiotherapist that claims to be current and up to date with best practice needs to give you way more than just core. Like Phillipe Petit on his wire you need a dynamic approach to your stability.
