Biokineticist
Tracy Duke
Tracy holds a B.Phys Ed from Wits (1997) and an Honours in Biokinetics (2010). With experience in the US, UK, and South Africa, she specialises in orthopaedic rehab, sports injuries, performance, and chronic disease management.
As a biokineticist, Tracy uses exercise therapy to help patients regain function, stay injury-free, and reach their full potential. She’s passionate about improving quality of life, keeping people active, and helping them achieve their goals.
An avid runner and cyclist, Tracy has completed ten 2 Oceans half marathons (blue number holder) and four 94.7 cycle challenges. She enjoys hiking, mountain biking, and playing padel in her free time.
Our practitioners accept various medical aids.
In general, the medical practitioners at 247 Medical, accept most of the well known medical aids (and not the medical insurance). Different rules apply for different medical aids and different practitioners (for example, the GPs take most medical aid plans on Discovery, but are not yet on the Smart Plan or Key Care Networks, whereas the Dentists accept both Smart Plan and Key Care). For the avoidance of doubt, please call us in advance of your appointment and enquire about your specific medical aid and medical aid plan.
Tracy qualified with a Bachelor of Physical Education (B.Phys Ed) degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1997, and after working in the States and the UK in both a teaching and physical therapy role, returned to Wits to complete her Honours in Biokinetics (B.HSc) in 2010.
As a biokineticist Tracy utilises exercise as the main therapeutic modality where her expertise encompasses orthopaedic rehabilitation, sports injuries and performance as her special interests; as well as chronic disease management and personal conditioning (prevent injuries rather than rehab them!)
Her focus with exercise rehabilitation with her patients is one-on-one interaction helping them to return to their prior level of functionality and to achieve their maximum potential. “It is rewarding to see people becoming healthier, pain-free and most importantly keeping them moving, improving their quality of life and achieving their goals”.
Tracy is an avid runner and cyclist, she has completed ten 2 Oceans half marathons where she gained her blue number status, and four 94.7 cycle challenges. In her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, hiking, mountain biking and, of course, playing padel.
