MyoMerge

Movember is here — and we’re diving deep into how exercise transforms men’s physical and mental health.

From boosting mood and confidence to reducing stress, improving sleep, and lowering disease risk — movement is medicine. This month, we honour the battles men fight silently and highlight the power of staying active, staying connected, and taking care of your body and mind. 🏋️‍♂️

Men’s Mental Health Stats:
• Around 75% of global su***de victims are men.
• Men are far less likely to seek help — they make up only about 30–40% of psychological therapy users.
• 1 in 8 men will experience depression, yet most won’t report it.
• Men die, on average, 4–5 years earlier than women, with preventable lifestyle diseases and untreated mental health issues playing a major role.

Let’s move for better health, talk openly, and support our men. 💙

🙌🏻

I am tired of the fear mongering.

Social media, especially within the fitness realm, has become a place where people love saying "Do this! Not that!". Or "you're doing [insert move] wrong". Or "stop stretching! Do this instead...". I can only imagine how confusing it must be for someone not working in the industry, since it can be confusing for us.

It is all clickbait guys. Yes, you get the few people who actually know what they're talking about. But in general, health and fitness is very rarely, if ever, one glove fits all. It's not black and white. Each person is built differently, moves differently, thinks about moving differently, lives differently eats differently... the list goes on.

Sometimes that move that they're demonstrating will help in a particular situation - which the ones that have insight will disclose and explain.

Don't fall into the trap of believing the most confident speaker. If someone is that confident, it usually means they haven't learnt enough about a topic to realize that they don't know enough.

Don't let others get you side-tracked with their opinions, go to a specialist and follow their advise, tailormade for your needs. Share it with your trainer to work into your program. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Your body takes time to adapt, so make sure you do what you need to do consistently and with intent.

Happy training! 💪

We currently have three locations, each with its own mission and vibe ✨

✨ Highveld Medical Center
Our newest and biggest space yet! Here, we’ve built a team of biokineticists, massage therapists, a dietitian (), Pilates instructors - and we’re still growing! This facility is bringing our orthopaedic rehab to a more functional space, group classes and multiple service offerings to Vitality Members. We’re super excited to share that this branch is officially a Vitality Accredited Fitness Center.

MEET THE TEAM 〰️

Cherise is an East Rand girl at heart, with a big dream: to make rehab & exercise more accessible, fun, and lasting. She’s a registered biokineticist with multiple additional certifications (because let’s be honest - CPD points won’t earn themselves, and curiosity fuels action), allowing her to look at a concern from different angles.

“Identifying gaps and obstacles in the rehabilitation space has been one of the biggest challenges in a fast-paced medical world - but also the foundation of how MyoMerge was built. We understand the hurdles our patients face and aim to meet anyone with empathy, working closely with patient-centered practitioners to achieve the best conservative outcomes.”

Cherise has a special interest in orthopaedic rehabilitation, women’s health, and neurological conditions. Every session draws from the science of movement - combining evidence-based strategies to improve mobility, strength, and function.

She hyper-fixates on good tunes, loves spending her downtime with people who inspire her, sneaks in a Pilates flow, and enjoys the occasional jumpscare movie.

Her daily dopamine fix? Likely found at a local coffee shop near one of our practices (shoutout to & .coffee) ☕️

Fun fact: I tore my ankle ligaments on a Tuesday, that Friday we had a practice photoshoot 😅 It goes without saying, I had to Uber…

I am still not walking like I used to, I can’t do a single leg calf raise and my calf and quad has disappeared ✨

Being on the other side of recovery and rehabilitation has been a frustrating but enlightening experience.

Here are some thoughts I had during my initial rehabilitation phase 🩹

10 THINGS I WISH YOU KNEW 💁🏻‍♀️

30/01/2025

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 1 in 7 women—but too often, it’s brushed off or women rarely seek treatment due to stigmatisation.

The reality? PPD is a serious mental health condition that deserves recognition, support, and action.

Exercise can be a game-changer.

Research shows that just 1 hour of moderate exercise per week can nearly halve the risk of developing PPD.

Death to “bouncing back”—it’s about mental well-being, resilience, and reclaiming strength.

To all the moms navigating this journey: You are not alone.

You are not “just hormonal.”
You deserve care, compassion, and support.
Let’s stop minimizing PPD and start making space for real conversations and real solutions.

Looking for guidance on your postpartum journey? Reach out to a biokineticist that is trained in peri-natal exercise✨

Do you ever drive anywhere without Google Maps?

I don’t anymore—because every time I do, I regret it the moment I realize, “oh no, I didn’t actually know where I was going.” 🙃

That’s exactly how I feel about working without objective assessments in my practice as a biokineticist.

Over the years, I’ve come to rely on tools like the VALD Dynamo from to guide me in assessing, monitoring, and managing my patients’ progress—from neck to toe, literally 💁🏻‍♀️

As biokineticists, we specialize in movement, rehabilitation, and optimizing performance. Our approach is centered on functional movement assessments, identifying imbalances, and creating personalized roadmaps for recovery and improvement. With the VALD Dynamo, we measure range of motion and strength with precision, giving us clear data to make informed decisions.

This alao allows me to collaborate with other healthcare professionals, sharing objective data with physiotherapists, strength coaches, and other specialists to create the best outcomes for our patients - because it truly takes a village! It’s not just about fixing what’s wrong—it’s about working together to help you thrive. ✨

Managing injuries or pain can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure whether you’re on the right track. My goal is to take that uncertainty away. With tools like the VALD Dynamo, we can achieve quicker analysis, smarter rehab strategies, and faster progress.
