The hippocampus is like a hub for memory and spatial navigation, but it’s also deeply tied to our emotional well-being. As it atrophies, not only do we lose memory function, but our ability to process and adapt to life’s challenges can diminish. Think about how profound it is that something as simple as walking could be a pathway to reconnect with our brain’s vitality.

The walkers saw a 2% increase in hippocampal volume, while the stretchers experienced continued shrinkage. To put that in context, a 2% increase in brain volume in just one year isn’t just a statistic—it’s a window into what’s possible when we commit to small, consistent changes.

Waarmee kan ‘n Biokinetikus help?
‘n Biokinetikus kan help met ‘n groot verskeidenheid siektetoestande, beserings of selfs om pyn-vry en gemaklik te beweeg. Biokinetika is nie net oefening nie, maar die optimalisering van beweging en funksie in allerdaagse lewe. ‘n Biokinetikus evalueer en asseseer elke individu om enige faktore wat beweging verhinder, aan te spreek. Op grond van die resultate sal ‘n Biokinetikus ‘n intervensie program skryf vir die individu se spesifieke behoeftes, byvoorbeeld:

1) Laerug Pyn
2) Daaglikse aktiwiteite
3) Ortopediese Rehabilitasie
4) Pre- en Post Chirurgiese Rehabilitasie
5) Neuromuskulêre Siektes (Parkinson's, Dementia, Beroertes)
6) Kroniese Toestande (Diabetes)
7) Postuur Assessering
8) Sportbeserings
9) Algemene Welstand
10) Spinaalkoord Beserings

What can a Biokineticist help with?
A Biokineticist can assist with a wide variety of medical conditions, injuries, or even to move pain-free and comfortably. Biokinetics is not just about exercise, but the optimization of movement and function in everyday life. A Biokineticist evaluates and assesses each individual to address any factors that may hinder movement. Based on the results, a Biokineticist will write an intervention program for the individual's specific needs, for example:

1) Lower back pain
2) Activities of daily living
3) Orthopaedic rehabilitation
4) Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation
5) Neuromuscular diseases (Parkinson's, dementia, strokes)
6) Chronic conditions (Diabetes)
7) Posture assessment
8) Sports injuries
9) General Wellness
10) Spinal Cord Injuries

What is Biokinetics?
The word Biokinetics is taken from the Greek word “BIOS” which means “life” and “KINESIS” which means “movement”. In other words, it refers to the maintenance of quality of life through the use of physical activity.
A Biokineticist is a trained professional who specialises in final phase rehabilitation for a variety of conditions including but not limited to sport injuries.
Rehabilitation programmes are updated either weekly or monthly depending on the patient’s condition with the end goal of doing functional or sport specific activities.
Biokinetics is not solely for rehabilitating those recovering from injury or surgery, there is also a big need for it with regards to rehabilitating people diseases caused by “lack of movement”, unhealthy diets, smoking and even stress. Examples of such diseases include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Individuals requiring treatment for any of the conditions previously mentioned can expect the following from a Biokinetics evaluation:

• Have a thorough medical history evaluation.
• Measurement of blood pressure and heart rate to assess the likelihood of possible health complications.
• Range of motion evaluation to access flexibility. Poor flexibility can impair one’s ability to perform certain activities (sport or normal tasks of daily living) properly.
• Assessment of body composition and waist to hip ratio. These can help determine one’s risk for coronary heart disease.
• Measure muscular strength, endurance and power.
• A postural analysis to identify any deviation which have either lead to injury or will prevent a proper recovery.
• Assessments of the core stability, and the ability of “stabiliser muscles” to function properly.
• Cholesterol and glucose test can be conducted if deemed necessary.

Wat is Biokinetika?
Die woord "Biokinetika" is afgelei van die Griekse woord "BIOS", wat "lewe" beteken, en "KINESIS", wat "beweging" beteken. Met ander woorde, dit verwys na die handhawing van lewensgehalte deur die gebruik van fisieke aktiwiteit. 'n Biokinetikus is 'n opgeleide professionele persoon wat spesialiseer in die finale fase van rehabilitasie vir 'n verskeidenheid toestande, insluitend maar nie beperk tot sportbeserings. Rehabilitasieprogramme word weekliks of maandeliks opgedateer, afhangende van die pasiënt se toestand, met die uiteindelike doel om funksionele of sportspesifieke aktiwiteite te doen. Biokinetika is nie uitsluitlik vir die rehabilitasie van persone wat herstel van besering of chirurgie nie; daar is ook 'n groot behoefte daaraan met betrekking tot die rehabilitering van mense met siektes wat veroorsaak word deur "gebrek aan beweging", ongesonde diëte, rook en selfs stres. Voorbeelde van sulke siektes sluit in hoë bloeddruk, hoë cholesterol, hartsiektes, diabetes en oorgewig. Individue wat behandeling vir enige van die vorige genoemde toestande benodig, kan die volgende verwag van 'n Biokinetika-evaluasie:

• 'n Deeglike mediese geskiedenis-evaluasie.
• Meting van bloeddruk en harttempo om die waarskynlikheid van moontlike gesondheidskomplikasies te beoordeel.
• Evaluasie van beweeglikheid om buigsaamheid te beoordeel. Swak buigsaamheid kan die vermoë om sekere aktiwiteite (sport of normale daaglikse take) behoorlik uit te voer, belemmer.
• Beoordeling van liggaamssamestelling en heupe-tot-taille verhouding. Dit kan help om die risiko vir koronêre hartsiekte te bepaal.
• Meting van spierkrag, uithouvermoë en krag.
• 'n Posturale analise om enige afwykings te identifiseer wat óf tot besering gelei het óf 'n ordentlike herstel sal verhoed.
• Evaluasie van kernstabiliteit (core) en die vermoë van "stabiliseerder-spiergroep" om behoorlik te funksioneer.
• Cholesterol- en glukosetoetse kan uitgevoer word indien dit nodig geag word.
