Exercise guidance during & after pregnancy

Nicolien Meyer is skilled and qualified in offering safe and effective exercise guidance during pregnancy. Pregnancy and post-partum rehabilitation is her passion and she is well versed in all things pregnancy and pregnancy recovery. This type of rehabilitation includes but is not limited to pelvic floor rehabilitation and core and abdominal retraining.



2. Pelvic floor rehabilitation and core training/retraining. Breathing and activation techniques are used to regain core control and pelvic floor activation/relaxation. This treatment is offered to most patients but especially to those struggling with chronic back pain, postural deviations, hip pain and for various post surgical interventions.

3. Injury rehabilitation

Acute and chronic injuries such as knee pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, fractures, dislocations etc can all be treated by a Biokineticist. Specific, research based protocols are used to assess the injury and to develop a treatment plan for full and optimal recovery.

4.Post operative rehabilitation

Physical rehabilitation following a surgery is crucial in long-term recovery of the injured part. As with normal injury rehabilitation, a Biokineticist can assist with pre or post operative rehabilitation. Whether the surgery is due to a traumatic injury (such as a motor accident) or from a long overdue surgery (such as a total hip replacement), Biokinetics uses stretching, exercise, mobility and lifestyle modifications to get the patient back to functioning optimally.

5.Sports rehabilitation

Sports injuries such as tennis elbow, concussion, runner's knee, intervertebral disc herniation or spondylolysis can be treated by a Biokineticist. Nicolien Meyer has 5 years experience working with athletes from all sports and has a keen interest in tennis, running and dance.

6.Chronic disease management

Diabetes, Chronic opstruction pulmonary disorders (COPD), heart disease and obesity are some chronic conditions treated at Nicolien Meyer Biokinetics.

7. Neurological rehabilitation

Neuro rehabilitation is a field of study particularly close to Nicolien Meyers heart. This area of rehabilitation includes rehabilitation from stroke, parkinsons and spinal cord injury.

Movement is medicine for those living with Parkinson’s 🧠💪
Exercise doesn’t just help you feel better — it helps your brain function better too.

From improving balance and coordination to maintaining strength, posture, and mobility, staying active can slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease and improve quality of life.

As a biokineticist, I see exercise as a key part of treatment — not just an add-on.

Remember: it’s not about perfection, it’s about consistency.
Small steps. Every day

The InBody Body Composition Analysis allows us to measure important health markers like body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat and body water balance. This gives a much clearer picture of your health, strength and progress.

Weight alone doesn’t tell the full story. You might stay the same weight but gain muscle, lose body fat and significantly improve your overall health.

Using an InBody scan helps us:
âś” Track changes in muscle and body fat
âś” Identify muscle imbalances that may affect movement or increase injury risk
âś” Monitor visceral fat, which is linked to metabolic and heart health
âś” Set individualised exercise goals based on your body composition
âś” Measure real progress during rehabilitation and training

As a biokineticist, this information helps me design exercise programmes that are specific, safe and effective for each individual.
Remember: health is not just about weight — it’s about body composition, strength and function.

Stretching is often the most overlooked part of exercise, but it plays an important role in keeping your body healthy and moving well.

Incorporating a daily stretching routine can help:
• Improve flexibility and joint range of motion
• Reduce muscle stiffness and tension
• Improve posture
• Support better movement during exercise
• Reduce the risk of injury

We always remind my clients that strength is important, but mobility is just as essential for long-term health and pain-free movement.

Even 5–10 minutes of stretching each day can make a big difference in how your body feels and moves.

10 squats every hour for your 8 hour work day is what it takes to off-set a sedentary lifestyle..

Let’s face it, modern life is more sedentary than ever. Making time to exercise or be active is diffucult and there are so many barriers we come up against.

A recent study [Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Sport Science) showed that just doing 10 air squats every hour during your day is enough to outweigh the benefit of a 30 minute power walk 🤯 10 air squats every hour improves blood sugar and improves metabolism thereby helping to ward off chronic illnesses that come along with sedentary behaviour.

So if making time to add a chunk of exercise to your daily routine is getting you down; try this quick fix.

1. Disc herniation
2. Group class
2. Osteopenia
3. Parkinsons
4. Knee replacement
5. Pelvic floor prolapse

Did you know we can treat all of these different conditions ?? Pretty cool right?!

You are pregnant and you want to start exercising for health and for your birth… you have no idea where to start!

Well, here it is!

Simply breathe!!!

This exercise is called HUG-the-BABY. And you are simply using your breath to guide your stomach muscles into a gentle contraction and more importantly; learning how to relax your belly and you pelvic floor.

Step 1 Breathe in: relax belly forward into your hands
Step 2 Breathe out: pull belly towards your spine with your core.

Breathing deeply also helps to
âś…activate your relaxation nervous system (parasympatheric nervous system)
âś…lenghten the diaphragm
âś…connects you to your pelvic floor and learning how to relax down there!
âś…interact with your baby!
