Shandré Pretorius – Biokineticist

Shandré Pretorius is a HPCSA registered Biokineticist based at Meraki in Motion in Johannesburg. She is dedicated to improving health, function, and performance through evidence-based exercise rehabilitation and movement therapy.

Biokinetics is a form of preventative and rehabilitative healthcare that uses exercise as a scientific treatment tool. In practice, this means Shandré works with patients to restore optimal physical function, manage chronic conditions, and improve overall quality of life through structured, individualised exercise programmes.

Her clinical focus includes orthopaedic rehabilitation, pre- and post-operative recovery, chronic and autoimmune disease management, neurological rehabilitation, and disability support. She also provides specialised services such as gait and running analysis, sport-specific conditioning, body composition analysis, and fitness assessments including Discovery Vitality testing.

Shandré is passionate about helping individuals regain confidence in their movement. Whether recovering from injury, managing a long-term condition, or working toward performance goals, her approach is centred on safe progression, functional improvement, and sustainable results.

She also has a strong interest in specialised performance and lifestyle-based rehabilitation, including genetic exercise programming, rock climbing analysis, and pre- and post-natal training support.

At Meraki in Motion, Shandré’s goal is simple: to help patients move better, feel stronger, and live healthier through personalised, goal-driven biokinetic care.
