Exercise advice is everywhere, but not all of it is true.
These common myths can hold you back, delay progress, or even increase your risk of injury.
Understanding the science behind movement helps you train smarter, recover better, and build long-term strength.
As Biokineticists, we guide you toward evidence-based exercise that matches your body, your goals, and your current capacity.
Break the myths. Train with intention.

Static stretching and mobility aren’t the same — and your body feels the difference.
Static stretching lengthens tissue, improves flexibility and is best used after training when the goal is recovery or relaxation.
Dynamic mobility prepares your joints, muscles and nervous system for movement.
It improves coordination, increases synovial flow, and primes your stabilisers for load — which is why it’s ideal before exercise.
The secret to moving well?
➡️ Warm up with motion.
➡️ Cool down with stillness.

Active recovery isn’t about being lazy — it’s about training intelligently.
Your body adapts, rebuilds, and gets stronger after the workout, not during it. When recovery is ignored, performance drops and injury risk rises.
We help you structure training and recovery so your body can perform at its best — consistently.

Your body is designed to survive — and when one area isn’t working well, another quietly takes over. The problem? Compensation keeps you moving, but not moving well. Over time, it creates new weaknesses, hidden overload, and injuries that seem to “come out of nowhere.”
We assess the way your body recruits, stabilises, and moves so we can correct the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Move efficiently. Move powerfully. Move without compensations.

Sitting for long hours doesn’t just make you stiff — it changes the way your body moves.
Your iliopsoas (a major hip flexor) becomes tight and overactive, while your glutes and core become underactive.
This imbalance can contribute to lower-back pain, hip discomfort, postural changes, and reduced movement efficiency.
As Biokineticists, we identify these compensations, address strength and mobility imbalances, and help restore healthy, pain-free movement patterns.
Move better. Sit smarter.

Rehabilitation isn’t a checklist — it’s a journey of progression.
Each phase builds on the last, guiding you safely from protection to performance.
At Deidré Ras Biokineticist, we don’t follow generic templates — we follow your body.
We assess, activate, strengthen, and restore movement so you can return stronger than before.

Your body moves as an integrated system, not in isolated parts.

Myofascial slings are networks of muscles and fascia that connect the upper and lower body, allowing for coordinated, efficient movement. These slings play a crucial role in posture, stability, performance, and injury prevention.

In biokinetics, we don’t just strengthen individual muscles — we restore the way your entire body moves as a unit.

Movement is more than mechanics. It’s connection, control, and strategy.

Your breath controls more than just oxygen—it controls movement, posture, stress, and even pain.
At RAS Biokinetics, we assess diaphragmatic control and use breathwork as part of a holistic rehab and movement program—especially for patients with back pain, pelvic dysfunction, poor posture, and performance plateaus.
If you’re breathing wrong, you’re likely moving wrong too.
Let’s fix that together.

Pain along your shin isn’t something to ignore—especially if you’re active, returning to exercise, or increasing your training load.
Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) are a common overuse injury that we see in both young athletes and older adults starting movement again. If left untreated, they can progress to more serious conditions like stress fractures.
As Biokineticists, we identify the cause, address imbalances, and guide you safely back to activity—pain-free and stronger than before.

Your core does more than just look good — it keeps your body functioning at its best.

A well-trained core improves posture, balance, breathing, spinal support, and even pelvic floor function. It’s about stability, not just six-packs.

We focus on controlled, purposeful movement to build deep strength — from the inside out.

Build strength where it matters most.

Balance is one of the first things to decline with age or injury—and one of the most overlooked.
Whether you’re a runner, desk worker, or active grandparent, poor balance can increase your risk of falls, ankle sprains, and even back pain.
Biokineticists use evidence-based assessments to identify what’s holding you back and help retrain your stability, proprioception, and functional strength.
