Biokineticists are clinical exercise specialist with an Honours degree who uses scientifically based exercise programs in preventative medicine, final phase rehabilitation and performance enhancement. The essence of biokinetics is the use of exercise as a medicine. The role of the biokineticist is to function within a professional alliance to health and medicine. Biokineticists are recognised by and registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.

Individualised assessments include a full patient history and physical evaluation. Thereafter, the patient is prescribed specific exercises according to their needs, which are progressed at the individual rate of improvement. The exercises can be carried out at home with regular monitoring, or under the supervision of the biokineticist, depending on the severity of the condition.
