My name is Justin Bowden and I have been a qualified Biokineticist for 9 years. I completed my undergraduate degree in Human Movement Science in 2010 at Nelson Mandela University (NMU) and later completed my Biokinetics Honours degree in 2012 at the same university.

I was contracted for the automotive industry for four and a half years and then went into private practice. My passion lies with neurological rehabilitation and care for the elderly. I also enjoy complex orthopaedic cases. My motto is a holistic approach to wellness that uplifts, restores and dignifies the lives of others.

Robyn and Justin will collaborate with Corenect in the following areas:

  • Preventative screening of individual risks of postural dysfunction associated with activities of daily living, work and hobby/sports.
  • Preventative screening in all athletes to prevent injury and ensure efficiency in sport using evidence-based protocols/batteries.
  • Prescription of mobility home programs and/or Sports training programs for any risks identified in screening to ensure sustainable health and sufficient mobility for all function.
  • Preventative screening of the school going child with the aim of meeting postural demands with development and/or screening of the sports athlete for possible over training to ensure injury prevention of the developing body.
