Movement is life. At Carien Smith Biokeneticists, we’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live healthier every day.

Hello! I’m Carien
Biokeneticist
Hello! I’m Carien, a passionate and qualified Biokineticist based in Potchefstroom. I hold a BSc in Human Movement Science and Physiology, and an Honours degree in Biokinetics—both from North-West University (NWU PUK). With years of experience in movement science and rehabilitation, my mission is to guide people of all ages through safe and effective exercise-based therapy that restores function, builds strength, and enhances wellbeing.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to move better, I’m here to help you with a personal, caring, and science-backed approach.
Through one-on-one sessions, aquatic therapy, and Vitality fitness assessments, I help my clients achieve lasting results in a supportive and motivating space.
Approach & Values
My approach is built on empathy, consistency, and evidence-based practice. I believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in their movement and live free from pain or restriction.
At Carien Smith Biokenicists, sessions are tailored to your unique needs—whether you’re an athlete, an office worker, a senior, or managing a health condition. I prioritize proper posture, movement quality, and long-term functional strength.
Above all, I value building trust with each client and helping you progress at a pace that suits your life.
