Move better, Live better

Briarley Klassen

BHSc(Hons) Biokinetics (WITS)

I'm a passionate Biokineticist and founder of BK Biokineticist. My experiences, both professionally and personal has driven me to help people unlock their full potential through human movement, rehabilitation, exercise, and sport.

My own journey as a high-level basketball player taught me firsthand the importance of overcoming injuries and the power of rehabilitation. This sparked my enchantment with Biokinetics, inspiring me to complete my Honours degree at the University of Witwatersrand.

At BK Biokineticist, you can expect:

  • A patient focused practice
  • Quality, professional and evidence based care
  • A practice whose goal is to enrich the lives of all our patients by equipping them with the tools to move better, and therefore, live better.

Services

Comprehensive, Professional, Trustworthy

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Restoring mobility, strength and function to individuals who have experienced musculoskeletal injuries, surgeries, or conditions affecting bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, or tendons. This rehabilitation helps patients recover, manage risk, improve movement, and regain independence through a combination of physical therapy, exercise and education. Tailored to the specific needs of each patient based on their condition and recovery goals

Chronic Rehabilitation

Long-term management of chronic conditions or injuries that have persisted over an extended period, often lasting months or years. These include arthritic, cardiac, neurological conditions. Chronic rehabilitation improves the quality of life by increasing independence, improving daily function, and promoting overall well-being, even in the face of a long-term health challenge.

Prehabilitation

Prehabilitation prepares a patient for surgery or medical procedure by improving physical, mental, and emotional condition beforehand. Prehabilitation enhances recovery outcomes, reduces complications, and increases overall strength and functionality prior to surgery.

Post-operative rehabilitation

Post-operative rehabilitation is the therapeutic process that begins after surgery. Post-op rehab fascilitates function, and prevents complications while supporting the recovery of the body. It is the gradual reintegration of the patient into daily activities with an emphasis on improving their ability to perform functional tasks independently.

Working with Briarley has been instrumental in my return to play post-surgery in 2024. His structured approach to rehab and taking me through each phase of the process ensured that I progressed safely while rebuilding strength and mobility. Every session was tailored to my game, improving my movement, stability, and overall performance on the court. Thanks to his expertise, I’m back to playing at a high level!

Dylan W, 30yrs

Basketball African League Athlete

I began running, without doing any strength training. I ran my first marathon at 4:50, but that strategy was leading me to a path of injury and pain. By the second marathon, I finished worse of, at 5:23, and had incurred severe ITB, lower back pain and debilitating plantar fasciitis. I looked to biokinetics for answers to my injuries and limitations. After consistently working with Briarley over the last 8 months, my movement feels more efficient, my pain has significantly reduced, and I feel stronger with every run. Biokinetics with Briarley has been instrumental in my preparation for the London marathon. I’m heading into race day feeling stronger, confident and prepared—something I couldn’t have imagined before!

Ruben N, 43yrs

Marathon Runner

As a rugby player, working with Briarley for the past three years has been crucial to injury management and maintenance. His programs have helped me correct my knee alignment, improve my footing, and move more freely on the field. I feel stronger, more balanced, and a lot less stiff, which will definitely help prevent injuries and keep me performing at my best in the long run.

Pholoso P, 29yrs

Rugby Player

Briarley has been instrumental in helping me manage my body’s recovery and resilience, ensuring I stay strong and injury-free despite my busy sporting schedule of padel, golf, and soccer—all while approaching 40. His expertise in strengthening has made a remarkable difference, allowing me to perform at my best while maintaining balance and longevity in my activities. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their physical well-being with a tailored, effective approach.
