Our rehab service is the missing piece between injury recovery and peak performance. Whether you’re coming back from surgery, battling chronic pain, or just want to move like a well-oiled machine, our expert team—led by biokineticists Kayleigh and Snyman—is here to help.
Biokinetics is basically science’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s make sure your body doesn’t betray you when you need it most.” Unlike standard physiotherapy, which focuses on treating the injury itself, biokineticists correct movement imbalances, restore strength, and prevent re-injury through specialised movement therapy.
Think of them as the mechanics of the human body, except instead of a wrench, they use science-backed movement techniques to fine-tune your mobility and strength.
Snyman supported me throughout my triathlon training, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced coaching like this before. His approach is holistic, methodical, and highly effective — combining a deep understanding of movement with the right level of challenge. Each session helped me build strength, balance, and confidence in a truly integrated way. I highly recommend him.
I had an ongoing pain in my shoulder and neck area. After consulting with Snyman and the team we started the active physio recovery program. Within a few weeks my neck and shoulder were feeling much better. Some weakness has been identified and with ongoing training I have not experienced any pain in months. I was very happy to work with Snyman — he truly helped me feel better and stronger. I highly recommend.
By far one of the best gym experiences I’ve had in Dubai — and I’ve been here for 20 years! Training with Coach Snyman has been a total game-changer. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine dedication to his clients are unmatched. I have scoliosis, and he took the time to carefully tailor a program that not only works for my condition but also helps me progress safely and effectively. I’m incredibly pleased with the results I’ve seen so far. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and cares about your goals, Coach Snyman is the one!
The game-changer for me has been working with my personal rehab trainer, Snyman. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for what he does are unmatched. He takes the time to understand your goals, builds customised programs that are both challenging and sustainable, and genuinely celebrates progress every step of the way. Snyman doesn’t just train you…he educates, encourages, and empowers you. I’ve seen improvements in my strength, especially my injured shoulder, endurance, mobility, and overall fitness, thanks to his guidance.
I have been having rehabilitation sessions with Snyman for almost a year to help, alongside PT/gym sessions and Pilates, with my fight against idiopathic young-onset Parkinson’s Disease. Snyman is professional, empathetic and approachable. He is extremely knowledgeable — what he doesn’t know about all things rehabilitation frankly isn’t worth knowing! Every session is enjoyable yet challenging and no two sessions are ever the same. Snyman continually asks questions, listens then adapts each session as needed. He pushes me to get the very best out of each session and I always leave challenged but happy that he has pushed me, even when my body feels like giving up. I would highly recommend Snyman to anyone looking for rehabilitation, especially neurological!
