Ninke Coetzee

My name is Ninke Coetzee, and I am a qualified Biokineticist with a deep passion for helping people rediscover the freedom and healing power of movement. I have been practicing as a Biokineticist in Pretoria since 2013, working with individuals who are navigating chronic pain, orthopaedic conditions, and the physical effects of stress and modern lifestyles.

My foundation is in Biokinetics — using scientifically based exercise therapy to help restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Over the years, my work has also grown into a strong passion for mental wellness, as I have seen how closely our physical health, nervous system, and emotional wellbeing are connected.

In 2018, I qualified as a MAP (Myofascial Activated Posture) Movement Trainer, and since 2020 I have been facilitating movement therapy classes at Zwavelstream Clinic. MAP Movement focuses on fascial release, stretching, strengthening, and diaphragmatic breathing to help regulate the nervous system, relieve tension, and restore natural movement patterns. My heart behind this work is to help people move from fear of movement to freedom of movement.

Many of the people I work with experience chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, and fibromyalgia, or struggle with stiffness and tension from sedentary lifestyles. Through guided movement, breath awareness, and gentle strengthening, I work with each person to help them reconnect with their bodies and move toward greater ease and confidence in their daily lives.

Outside of the clinic, I run my movement practice, Movement Through Grace, where I offer movement therapy sessions and group classes within the community. My vision is to create spaces where people can experience movement not only as exercise, but as a tool for healing, resilience, and mental wellbeing.

Personally, I love being active and spending time outdoors. Running, sport, nature, and movement are things that bring me great joy, and I also have a special place in my heart for dogs.
