Personalised, evidence-based biokinetics for orthopaedic rehabilitation, sports performance, chronic conditions and postural correction. Every programme is built around you. Your body, your goals, your timeline.
Book a ConsultationRecovery from musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, post-surgical rehabilitation and persistent movement limitations. Whether you're dealing with a shoulder, knee, hip, back or neck issue, I'll design a structured, progressive programme that rebuilds your strength, restores function, and gets you back to the activities that matter to you.
Strength, power, mobility and sport-specific conditioning to help you train harder, move more efficiently and reduce your risk of injury. I work with athletes across a range of sports, from runners and cyclists to racquet-sport and team-sport players.
Exercise is one of the most effective interventions for managing chronic conditions, but it needs to be the right exercise, at the right dose, supervised properly. I work with patients managing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, respiratory conditions and more, prescribing safe, progressive programmes that improve quality of life and long-term health outcomes.
Chronic neck pain, lower back stiffness, rounded shoulders. These often stem from how we hold ourselves during long hours at a desk or on our feet. I assess your postural patterns and movement habits, identify the areas that need attention, and build a programme focused on strengthening the right muscles, improving mobility and creating lasting change in how your body moves and feels day-to-day.

Your first session goes beyond the injury itself. Through a comprehensive movement analysis, strength testing and functional screening, we identify not just the site of pain but the underlying contributing factors: compensatory movement patterns, muscular imbalances, joint mobility restrictions and kinetic chain dysfunctions. The goal is to understand the full clinical picture, so we're treating the cause, not just the symptom.
Every session is tailored to where you are in your recovery or training. Exercises are prescribed to your current capacity, progressed as your body responds, and adapted based on how you're moving on the day. No two sessions look the same, because no two patients are the same.
Regular re-assessments every 4 to 6 weeks track objective progress against your initial baseline. We adjust the programme based on data so you can see exactly how far you've come.
I'm Josh Gilson, a Cape Town-based biokineticist with a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and an Honours BSc in Biokinetics.
I've always been active. Over the years I've played rugby, cricket and water polo, dabbled in powerlifting and rock climbing, and run marathons and trail races. That range of experience across different sports and movement disciplines gives me a real appreciation for what the body can do, and what it needs when things aren't working the way they should.
What I enjoy most about this work is helping people move better and feel stronger in their day-to-day lives. Whether that's getting a patient back to the sport they love, helping someone manage a chronic condition through exercise, or simply giving a person the confidence to move without pain. That's what drives me as a practitioner.
Based in Sea Point, Cape Town. For enquiries, please email or call. I respond personally within one business day.
