We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Dan Grobler. A pioneer for the Profession of Biokinetics in South Africa and the United Kingdom. Dan’s insightful guidance, mentorship and calm yet powerful presence will be sorely missed. Dan was cherished as a supportive colleague and friend and as the vice-president of the Biokinetics Association of the United Kingdom.

Our love and condolences are with Dan’s family, friends and loved ones during this very difficult time.

Wear your jeans 👖 today in support of Cystic Fibrosis! 🫁

CF is a genetic condition which causes mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. This creates difficulty with breathing and the digestion of food. At present there is no cure for CF, but treatment through a multidisciplinary team can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

We are very proud of Dr Marlize De Vivo, Biokineticist, valued member of the Biokinetics Association of the United Kingdom and CEO & Co-Founder of The Active Pregnancy Foundation, who has co-authored the BASES Expert Statement on Pregnancy and Postnatal Athletes.

Marlize De Vivo said:
“This statement has been a year in the making and in this time, we have seen women pushing boundaries and perceptions in the sporting arena. Whilst the wider topic area of women in sport has gained interest, there is still a lot of work that needs doing to support athletes during their reproductive years.

Now is absolutely the right time to raise awareness of the topic area generally but also to encourage conversations between athletes and key stakeholders to address the gaps in evidence, guidance, and policy. We also hope that the sport and exercise industry respond with updates in curricula and requirements for continuous professional development. This Expert Statement provides the foundation for these discussions.”

Biokinetics contributing significantly to the health, wellness and the medical industry in the UK and internationally."

Well done Marlize !

As we pass through Autumn and the days get colder, keep your daily walking and exercise regime up.

In the cold we have a tendency to avoid physical activity especially if it is in an uncomfortable or cold environment, but your joints and muscles need the movement.
Staying still for too long can lead to an increase in overall physical stiffness and a lack of essential fluids to the joints.

Keep the body moving, so that the oxygen and nutrients can keep supplying the body well.

PS: don’t forget about home workouts like we did during lockdown 💪🏻
