Universal Health Coverage Day • Vitality Fitness Assessment

Your health should be easy to access, understand, and maintain, and the Vitality Fitness Assessment is one of the simplest ways to check in on your well-being while earning rewards along the way.

On 12 December, we’re celebrating Universal Health Coverage Day by highlighting a tool that supports better movement, healthier ageing, and early injury prevention.

Why book your Vitality Fitness Assessment?

💙 Up to 10 000 points when you score at the highest level
💙 Vitality Functional Assessment available for members 65+
💙 R556 payable on the day (claimable from Medical Savings, if applicable)
💙 Includes a functional movement screen to identify injury risks, mobility limitations, and any areas that need attention

This assessment is not just about earning points — it’s an opportunity to understand how your body is moving, catch potential issues early, and get personalised guidance from your biokineticist.

Universal health starts with accessible, preventative care. This is a simple step that supports both.

Spotting a weak glute medius👇
When the right glute med is under-active, the body gives you two clear “tells”:

👉 From the back: when you stand on your right leg to step down, the left hip drops — a classic sign that the right glute med isn’t holding the pelvis stable.
👉 From the front: as you step off the right side, the right knee collapses inward, showing the same weakness from a different angle.

These small movement clues matter — hip stability influences everything from daily walking to running and cycling performance.

🚫 Myth: You can lose fat from one specific area by targeting it with exercise.
✅ Fact: Spot reduction doesn’t work. Fat loss happens across the body with consistent movement + balanced nutrition.

Your Knee Pain Might Not Be About Your Knee at All…

In biokinetics, we look at the kinetic chain - the way your body’s joints, muscles, and movements are all interconnected 🔗 When one part of the chain isn’t working properly, another part often takes the strain.

👉 Example: Weak glutes can cause your hips to move poorly, which forces your knees or lower back to compensate. Over time, this can lead to pain or injury, even though the real problem started somewhere else.
This is why simply treating the sore spot isn’t enough.

As biokineticists, our role is to:
• Identify dysfunctional movement patterns
• Correct muscle imbalances
• Build a tailored plan that restores efficiency and prevents future injuries

Build Strong Bones & Bodies 🦴
Regular physical activity supports stronger bone density and spine health. It also lowers risks of osteoporosis, falls, and even stroke.

🦘 Fun Family Move: Try a “hop and hold” challenge - stand on one leg, hop twice, and hold the landing for 3 seconds. Switch sides. It’s playful as well as spine and bone-friendly!

Happy World Mental Health Day! 🧠

Movement matters for mind and mood. According to a study reported in The Washington Post, each extra hour of physical activity at age 11 was linked to a 12% lower risk of psychiatric diagnoses by age 18, including ≈40% less anxiety for boys and lower depression for girls.

When we think of heart health, most people immediately picture running, cycling, or other endurance activities ζ🚴. But here’s something many don’t realise:

🛑 Recovery matters just as much as training.
Your heart adapts and grows stronger during recovery, not just while you’re exercising. Without proper rest, overtraining can place unnecessary strain on your cardiovascular system and increase fatigue, stress, and even risk of injury.

💪 Strength training supports the heart too.
Research shows resistance training improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, and can reduce cholesterol, all while boosting muscular strength. Combined with endurance training, it creates a balanced, resilient cardiovascular system.

📊 Did you know?
Your biokineticist can use tools like heart rate monitors and recovery testing to measure how your heart responds to both effort and rest. This helps identify your cardiovascular fitness, recovery capacity, and safe training zones, so your programme is tailored to build heart health without overloading it.
