Stellenbosch Biokinetics practice
Welcome to Stellenbosch Biokinetics practice
Situated at the foot of the breath-taking Stellenbosch mountains and surrounded by world class sporting facilities, this practice is a facility open to the public, as well as a training facility for our interns and biokinetic students from the Division of Movement Science and Exercise Therapy (MSET) at Stellenbosch University. Each year, we take six biokinetics graduates (interns) that are required by the HPCSA to complete their clinical training under supervision of qualified Biokineticists. We also facilitate the work integrated learning and clinical training of our biokinetics students from MSET.
You can expect high-quality service and professionalism in a relaxed environment.
