About Tammy

A Stellenbosch biokineticist who treats the whole person

For more than fourteen years I've worked one-on-one with people in Stellenbosch — guiding them through injury, surgery, chronic pain and life's big changes back to confident, capable movement — and with competing athletes, from juniors to weekend racers, turning a stubborn weakness into a strength.

My approach

Evidence-based, and built entirely around you

Biokinetics is the science of movement as medicine. Every programme I design starts with a careful assessment of how your body actually moves — then uses graded, purposeful exercise to rebuild strength, restore function and reduce the risk of re-injury.

Because every session is one-on-one, there's time to listen, adjust and progress at the right pace for you. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to move with more freedom — the goal is the same: lasting, confident movement.

01

The first session is mostly questions

Your history, your scans, the sport you miss, the stairs you’ve started avoiding — then I assess how you actually move. You leave with a home programme, pictures included.

02

One body. One plan.

No recycled sheets. Every exercise has a reason you will understand, a number we can measure, and a progression ready for when it gets easy.

03

Progress you can point to

We retest as we go. Stay for years, or come back when your body needs me — both are exactly right.

The space

Light, quiet — and a stair lift if you need it

The practice sits upstairs in Die Boord, looking over the garden. If stairs are exactly what you're struggling with, the stair lift carries you up — until the day you take them yourself.

What the first visit is actually like

We talk. History, scans, the stairs you've started avoiding, the race you still want to do. Then I watch you move — strength, flexibility, where you compensate.

You leave with a home programme, pictures included. Follow-ups are the same 45 minutes: we load what is ready, leave what isn't, and retest so progress is not a vibe.
