Metabolic
Exercise as part of managing a long-term condition.

Questions
Before you book
Answers are sample wording for the proposal.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No, you can book directly. If you've had surgery or a cardiac event, bring your discharge notes or a letter from your doctor to your first visit.
Will my medical aid pay?
It depends on your scheme and plan. We'll give you an itemised invoice to claim with; check your benefits for biokinetics and physiotherapy before your visit.
What's the difference between a biokineticist and a physiotherapist?
Both are registered with the HPCSA. Physiotherapists often lead early, hands-on treatment; biokineticists lead exercise-based rehabilitation and the move back to full activity. At PHASE they work on the same plan.
How long will rehab take?
You'll get an estimate at your first visit and a re-test date. Simple sprains can take a few weeks; a post-surgical knee usually takes several months.
What should I wear?
Clothes you can move in, and shorts if the problem is a knee or hip.
