At Traverse Health, we are dedicated to helping you move freely, perform at your best, and achieve your goals – whether that’s jogging 5km without stopping or conquering challenges like the ABSA Cape Epic. With a focus on personalised care and evidence-based practices, we are here to help you reach new heights.
Who We Are
We are Francois and Jodie, passionate and dedicated biokineticists. For those unfamiliar with the term, biokinetics is the science of “life through movement,” and that’s exactly what we specialise in. Unlike physiotherapists or chiropractors, we don’t perform massages or manipulations. Instead, we focus on identifying poor biomechanics and prescribing targeted exercises to address muscle imbalances and movement inefficiencies.
At Traverse Health, movement is our primary tool for rehabilitation and performance improvement. Through precise assessments and individualised programs, we focus on optimizing your body’s biomechanics, restoring strength and function, and reducing injury risk. Whether it’s refining your stride, enhancing your pedal stroke, or improving day-to-day movements, we’re here to help you move smarter, stronger, and pain-free.
How the Process Works
Step 1: Book an Appointment
Appointments can be booked via WhatsApp or email. As we are client-focused, we may not always be available to take phone calls.
Step 2: Initial Consultation
Your first session is key. During this consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your goals, expectations, and medical history. A thorough assessment will help us identify any imbalances, weaknesses, or movement restrictions. Depending on your condition, we may perform specific strength and functional testing to chart your path to pain-free movement and optimal performance.
Step 3: Tailored Training Plans
During follow-up sessions, we implement a program designed specifically for your goals. Whether it’s prehabilitation to strengthen key muscles before surgery, post-rehabilitation after an injury, or strength and conditioning for athletic performance, your program will be as unique as your needs. Even if two clients share the same injury, their programs will differ because rehabilitation is not one-size-fits-all.
Step 4: Achieving Through Consistency
Consistency is the foundation of success. With expert guidance and your commitment, small, consistent efforts will lead to big improvements. At Traverse Health, we’re here to guide, support, and encourage you every step of the way—your effort combined with our expertise will unlock your true potential.
