Biokineticist in Fourways | Carly Van Der Vyver
Biokinetics Treatment for Pain, Injuries, and Autoimmune Conditions
I’m Carly, a BHSc Health Science graduate with Honours in Biokinetics from Wits, and a biokineticist based in Fourways. I’m passionate about helping people regain strength and confidence after injury, illness or pain. As a movement specialist, I use guided exercise and Biokinetics to support injury rehabilitation, manage pain, rebuild strength and help you move safely again.
When you’ve been hurt, sick, or living with pain for a long time, movement can feel scary. You may avoid everyday activities because you’re afraid of putting weight on a sore back, weak leg, or painful joint. My goal is to help you rebuild your strength, feel confident in your body, and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
While I have a particular interest in back pain and working with individuals living with autoimmune conditions, I also offer Pilates and strength training. I use a range of evidence-based exercise approaches to create rehabilitation programmes that are tailored to each patient’s goals and needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you look at how I move?
Pain isn’t always coming from where you feel it. The way you sit, stand or walk can put extra strain on other parts of your body. We look at how you move to understand what’s really going on and address the root cause.
What happens if I’ve been in pain for a while?
Your body can get used to limping, leaning or avoiding movement. We gradually retrain your
muscles to support you and move properly again.
Which muscles do you focus on?
We start with the key muscles that support your body, including your core, glutes, thighs and
hamstrings. This helps make everyday movement easier, safer and less painful.
Will my programme be the same as everyone else’s?
No. Every body is different. We combine gentle strength work and Pilates movements based on
what your body can manage and your goals.
What can I work towards?
Whether you want to walk without a limp, get back to exercise or simply move without pain, we work towards your goals at your own pace.
