Sometimes a condition can be felt as exhaustion or feeling of general body ache. We may think this is normal and life getting the better of us.
So many illnesses are masked by the “life is stressful” mask.

What You Need to Know About Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic condition, similar to arthritis, that causes muscle pain, tender points, and fatigue.

Hello everyone

With all that has been going on in the past few weeks I hope you all have managed to stay healthy and injury free.

As of today, Biokinetics is an essential service so we have officially opened our doors again.
In order to regulate the safety of our space, in office treatment has been reserved for those who are not able to get better with online sessions or do not have access to them.
We are also opening the pool up for Aqua therapy as this can rarely be replicated at home and is an essential therapy modality for many of you.

The Biokineticists will continue to treat patients online as it has proved to be quite an effective and enjoyable option for many of our patients.
If online form of exercise treatment is something you would like to consider, please feel free to contact us for more information. We have group exercise sessions as well as one on one sessions on offer and they are claimable from medical aid.

For those needing in office treatment we have taken all precautions to keep the space as safe as possible.

Feel free to contact us for more info.

Kindest regards,

Claudia Dos Santos

“When you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life”.
We are so fortunate to have the ability to use Aqua therapy to help heal.
Treating in the water gives people the opportunity to move in a way that land could restrict them, plus it’s great for:

- calming the nervous system 🧘🏻‍♀️

- building strength with less impact 💪🏾

- hydrostatic pressure of water reduces pain and edema which helps with mobility 🤸🏾‍♀️

- this hydrostatic pressure also makes the heart and lungs work harder which is great for treating chronic diseases ❤️

- excellent for treating neuromuscular diseases 🧠

- ideal for reducing chronic pain such as arthritis and fibromyalgia ♨️

Taking our Triathlete conditioning class back to basics today. Basic mobility work, core and pelvic stability is important even for the strongest athletes.

When prevention is better than cure Shoulder swim mechanics training, teaching the anterior latt fibers to fire with internal shoulder rotation. The things that look the easiest are often the hardest! @ Synergy Holistix

Full Ironman & ultra distance running season is here. Electrolytes play a crucial role in athletic performance. Read the points below to see why & how you can benefit from maintaining a healthy balance.

So what, exactly, are electrolytes? They are minerals in your blood, including calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium, that carry an electrical charge – if you remember your chemistry, they occur naturally as ions, and carry a positive or a negative charge. Electrolytes are critical for muscle function, without sufficient amounts in the body, muscle weakness and severe muscle contractions (cramps) may occur. Electrolytes are also critical for maintaining your blood pH, maintaining cell wall integrity, and the amount of water in your body.
We lose electrolytes when we exercise as we get dehydrated, in fact, as your body starts to get low on electrolytes, that's what triggers the thirst mechanism.
A healthy diet is the best way to maintain electrolyte balance, however, physically active individuals may require electrolyte supplementation.
A lot of popular sports drinks say they replenish electrolytes, and that's true. Most of them are also chock full of unhealthy sugars, preservatives and food dyes.
If you want to be sure you're getting the electrolytes your body needs, you can buy a much healthier electrolyte supplement. Many companies make your their own brand of concentrates that, over the long run, are cheaper and provide a better blend of electrolytes, without the unhealthy additives, preservatives, or calories.
Secondly, it's really simple to make your own electrolyte solution. All you need is citrus (lemons, limes, oranges), a liquid medium (coconut water is an excellent choice, but water works too), a pinch of salt (mineralized or sea salt), and something to sweeten it up, like honey or stevia.

Being a professional athlete is hard work. It takes patience, consistency and a never die attitude. It’s been a two year journey with you, Rikenette Steenkamp, and the Olympic dream is within your reach. Thank you for trusting me with keeping your body at its optimal efficiency, lots of love for you ❤️

Greatness is created within us every day. When I spend time with giants I feel my own power grow... it’s contagious 💪🏼 🍀good luck for the upcoming games 💪🏼

Sigmund Freud described the mind as an iceberg, the small tip which peeks above the water is our conscious mind, but the enormous part below is our unconscious mind (the parts of ourselves that are unknown to us). Read our latest blog by Andy Cohen - our and - where she explains how Art Counselling can help to access these unconscious thoughts, which guide a large amount of what we are doing on a daily basis (link here http://bit.ly/2yIubBC ).

Friday, stretch day

Group Rehabilitation, injury prevention, core and movement strengthening classes for:
• Lower back pain and other injuries
• The older adults
• Athletes/ sportsman
These classes are fun and effective 💪🏼

Our Group training classes, which are taken by our Claudia dos Santos Claudia Dos Santos and Shane Litvin Shane Litvin - are a cost effective way of rehabilitating and preventing injuries, they are designed for those who just can’t seem to kick those niggles or are scared of returning to training after an injury. Classes are kept small with a maximum of 6 people. A one on one Biokinetic session is recommended before taking the group class, in order to learn and understand the concept of core and how to engage the right muscles. This will ensure you achieve the most out of your training.

Foam Rolling

You have heard of it and most of you have done it before. Here are some helpfull tips on why and how to foam roll.

1. It improves your upper spinal mobility
-Your upper spine can benefit extremely from foam rolling.
-Poor mobility in the upper spine is a common cause of tension in your neck, shoulders, lower back, and hips. This tension leads to bad posture, aches, and pain.
- Foam rolling is an easy way to stretch out your upper back, helping improve your flexibility by loosening up the tissues.
2. It boosts your circulation
-Similar to a sports massage, the distribution of pressure through your body during the rolling motion on the roller improves your circulation by stimulating blood flow to your soft tissues.
-This means that more oxygen is delivered to the rolled out area, which has a healing effect on tender muscles and injurie
3. It’s a runner’s best friend
-Muscle tension is caused by repetitive motion, so runners often struggle with tight leg and hip muscles.
- Foam rolling helps release knots, improves your flexibility, and also decreases your risk of injuries caused by tension in your body.
- Rolling is particularly helpful for runners suffering from iliotibial band related injuries.
4. Slow and Steady
-when it comes to rolling the slower the better
-The quicker you roll the easier it is to miss the tender and knotted parts of the muscle
-When rolling, focus on rolling the entire area slowly and stopping over the painful parts of the muscle, holding it for 30 seconds

Why our team is so special ❤️

The concept of Kintsugi is the core of our latest blog titled 'Considering the Join', which is based on the idea that a flaw or break is part of an object's history and sometimes after repair it is more beautiful than before (although never the same), and with this, perhaps the therapeutic idea that our pain and internal brokenness occupies the same space as growth potential. This blog was written by our new team member Andy Cohen - and - and we would highly recommend you have a read (link here http://bit.ly/2svoKnA ).

Just a little info for post Comrades recovery. Enjoy

Post Comrades Recovery Whether you broke a personal best, dragged yourself over the line or never managed to finish, I am hoping you had a few celebratory drinks for showing up with courage xx
