This dynamic profession focuses on individual health evaluation, as well as prescribed exercise programmes with the main aim to prevent illnesses, to improve total well being, as well as rehabilitation of certain illnesses and injuries.

A Biokineticist with specialised knowledge and skills primarily evaluates the individual before prescribing specific relevant exercise regimes according to each individual's risk and need.

We offer a range of services and carefully worked out programmes to facilitate treatment for various illnesses.

I studied B.Sc Biokinetics at the University of Zululand and graduated in 2010 and completed my internship in 2011. Over the past 5 years I gained a lot of experience working with a wide range of patients in the private practice. After 3 years practicing as a Biokineticist I became the owner of Nico Otto Biokineticist in 2015.

My special skills and interests include Chronic Disease Management, Orthopaedic Rehabilitation and Sport Injury Prevention. Another passion of mine is working with the elderly, therefore I helped forming a 'wellness club’ at a retirement village. Once a week I manage and assist the residents with exercise programmes and classes.
