What the assessment covers
An injury assessment is a comprehensive movement and injury evaluation designed to identify the root cause of pain, dysfunction, or recurring injuries — not just treat the symptom in front of you. Through detailed assessments of posture, movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and strength, a clear picture of what's actually driving the problem can be built.
From assessment to treatment plan
Once the assessment is complete, a treatment plan is developed around the findings — designed to support recovery, improve movement quality, and reduce the risk of the injury recurring. This isn't a generic exercise sheet; it's built around what your specific assessment shows.
Who this is for
- Anyone with pain, discomfort, or reduced movement that hasn't been fully explained
- Recurring injuries that keep coming back despite previous treatment
- Patients referred by a GP, orthopaedic surgeon, or physiotherapist for a movement-based evaluation
- Athletes and active individuals wanting to understand and correct movement imbalances before they become an injury
An evidence-based approach
As an HPCSA-registered Biokineticist with an Honours degree in Biokinetics and BASA membership, Karlien works alongside orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and general practitioners, and grounds every assessment in current research and clinical experience. Progress is carefully monitored and the plan is adjusted based on how your body responds.
