Rehab isn’t a quick fix — it’s a commitment.
In biokinetics, consistency is everything.
The body doesn’t just “switch on” because we want it to.
🧠 Mind–muscle connection takes time — often 2–4 weeks of focused, repetitive movement.
💪 Strength gains usually appear around 4–6 weeks, if exercises are done correctly and consistently.
🌀 Flexibility & range of motion may improve sooner, but lasting change still requires regular loading and movement.
🧍♀️ Proprioception & control (your body’s awareness in space) improve over weeks to months — and are crucial for injury prevention.
Rehab is an investment of time and effort:
• Showing up to sessions
• Doing your home exercises
• Moving with intention — not rushing the process
My story (Jolie Botha, biokineticist):
I tore my ACL in 2018 and worked my way back onto the court.
That journey required commitment, patience, and trust.
I did:
• 6 weeks of physio (once a week)
• 12 weeks of biokinetics (starting twice a week, then scaling down to once a week up until my first provincial tournament)
But rehab didn’t start and end in the treatment room.
I did my exercises every day, stretched, foam rolled, and followed my biokineticist’s advice for training and daily activities.
The road wasn’t linear — and here’s the truth many don’t talk about:
ACL rehab takes years.
Even today, I still work on correcting compensations and lingering deficits.
But I’ve come a long way.
I now train heavy, play netball, touch rugby, padel, run — and move confidently again.
I’ve been there.
I understand the frustration.
And I can confidently say: the work is worth it.
