Meet Mark Digby, our new team member. Mark joined our team of Biokineticists a few months ago, after relocating to Hout Bay.

Here is a bit about Mark.

“I am a dedicated biokineticist with a passion for helping people feel their best. I specialize in treating a range of conditions, from sports injuries to chronic pain, and believe in a hands-on, personalized approach to recovery. My goal is to not only relieve pain but to restore movement, and help every patient return to the activities they love. “

Welcome to Grace, the new Biokineticist joining our team.

Grace completed her Biokinetics degree in 2020 at the University of Stellenbosch.

Sport has been a big part of her life, especially hockey and tennis. She has personally experienced how debilitating an injury can be, especially during a sporting season. This has inspired her to help others not only optimize injury rehabilitation, but to prevent injury occurrence through sport specific exercise prescription.

Grace enjoys orthopaedic rehabilitation, athletic performance, geriatric conditioning and Pilates. Grace believes in an individual and client-centered approach to exercise prescription, to cater for each person’s unique physical capability and goals.
