I am a firm believer that exercise is medicine and forms an important aspect of prescription in treating orthopaedic, chronic and mental pathologies.

Exercise prescription relies on measurable outcomes during assessments so that health practitioners can accurately re-test throughout the treatment timeframe.

Biokinetics is well positioned to bring scientific exercise prescription to the forefront of medicine and science.

Exercise is Medicine. πŸ’ŠπŸƒπŸΎ

Three major factors influence our health, these are the environment, our behaviours and genetics.

Behaviour and environmental factors are critical to focus on as these are variables we can change. The 21st Century has seen a significant rise in the development of non-communicable lifestyle diseases (NCDs). The major contributing behavioural risk factors for NCDs include excessive alcohol intake, smoking, poor diet and inactivity. Clear evidence exists that indicates regular physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits reduce the risk of developing pathologies including diabetes, hypertension, cancers, depression, osteoporosis and dementia. Exercise also assists with maintaining a healthy weight and reducing premature death.πŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

In my opinion, the drive to establish scientific exercise prescription to treat NCDs is an important paradigm shift that needs to take place in order to improve overall world health and reduce the burden of disease.

Book an appointment with your biokineticist to help you achieve your health goals and live a healthy life. πŸ’ͺ🏻
