PRE GRADE R TUMBLING (4-5 YEARS)
This is a 45-minute class where children begin by practicing locomotor skills, such as jogging, galloping, skipping, hopping, chassés and age-appropriate stretching/ conditioning to develop their muscles and create flexible bodies.
GRADE R TUMBLING (5-6 YEARS)
This is a 45-minute class which provides a perfect combination of fun and fitness. This class includes pre- schooler level tumbling, flexibility, strength training, balance, coordination, and development of age appropriate motor skills.
BEGINNER TUMBLING CLASSES (6-13 YEARS)
Once a week for 1 hour per session. The classes are designed to help each child develop all the basic gymnastics skills.
INTERMEDIATE TUMBLING CLASSES (6-13 YEARS)
Twice a week – 2 x One Hour Sessions Children come twice per week for a hour at a time (by choice).The skills become more complex, combining various fundamentals and children usually take part in Red or Bronze level.
ADVANCED TUMBLING CLASSES
Two x 1 hr Sessions per Week In the advanced classes we focus on building on the skills needed in Silver and Gold level, increasing strength and flexibility to perform all these skills.
PARKOUR
Classes combine parkour, gymnastics, martial arts, obstacle course training, and freestyle movement to introduce kids to the exciting world of Ninja Sport!

MELISSA KINDERKINETICS
Kinderkinetics is a pediatric profession which aims for optimal neuro-motoric development in children, neuro-typical and special needs, between the age of 0 and 13 years through scientifically based movement programs. The aim is to optimise children's holistic development by encouraging children to integrate the body and the brain, whilst having fun. We make sure all children's milestones are on par and that their gross motor skills (balance, coordination, midline
crossing etc) are developing as should. Melissa Brink is our on-site Kinderkineticist who will be able to answer all your questions.
EVALUATION
Scientific evaluation regarding different areas of development and to identify if any gross motor or fine motor delays are present. Includes in depth report.
*prerequisite for remedial therapy.
INDIVIDUAL KINDERKINETICS (0-13 YEARS)
Ensures that children's age-specific gross motor skills are on par so that any motor developmental delays can be prevented and to ensure optimal development of children. It also enhances the child's existing gross motor skills.
Fine motor skills, cognitive development and school readiness aspects such as reading and writing skills, language and attention span are also incorporated.
TODDLER CLASSES (12 - 36 MONTHS)
This is a fun-filled program for toddlers in a group setting. This program focusses on age appropriate gross motor skills such as running, jumping and ball skills and focusses on various
aspects such as coordination, balance, midline crossing, body awareness and colour recognition. Fine motor aspects are also incorporated.
BABY MASSAGE AND STIMULATION (0-12 MONTHS)
This program focuses on the development of the sensory and proprioception systems from a stimulation point of view as well as reflex inhibition, while keeping milestone development in mind such as rolling, crawling, walking and running. It aims to develop the senses, brain and muscles.
REMEDIAL AND ADAPTED PROGRAM (0-13 YEARS)
An evaluation is done to identify any sensory or motor delays. Should there be any delays, an adapted intervention will be followed to meet the needs of a child from a gross motor as well as a neuro-motor point of view to ensure optimal development.
SPORT-SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT
This is a program where different sport skills are taught in a fun and exciting manner.
WATER KINETICS
Combining gross motor skills with the basic water safety skills necessary for a child to be safe in the water. This program enhances water confidence and aids rehabilitation.
KINDERKINETICS GROUP CLASSES
This program focusses on socialising, working as a team and having fun as a group. Different gross motor skills, correct techniques and appropriate motor skill execution are taught. Aspect such as agility, fitness, coordination, balance and muscle strength are incorporated.
EVALUATION
Scientific test battery evaluation. Includes in depth report. *prerequisite for remedial therapy.
BABY MASSAGE AND STIMULATION (0-2 YEARS)
This program focuses on the development of the sensory and proprioception systems from a stimulation point of view as well as reflex inhibition, while keeping milestone development in mind. It aims to develop the senses, brain and muscles.
REMEDIAL AND ADAPTED PROGRAM (0-13 YEARS)
An evaluation is done to identify any sensory or motor delays. Should there be any delays, an adapted intervention will be followed to meet the needs of a child from a gross motor as well as a neuro-motor point of view to ensure optimal development.
GROSS MOTOR SKILLS (GMS) (2-13 YEARS)
Ensures that children's age-specific gross motor skills are on par so that any motor developmental delays can be prevented and to ensure optimal development of children. It enhances the child's existing gross motor skills.
GROSS MOTOR ACADEMICS (GMA) (2-13 YEARS)
This program is a combination of gross motor skills and academic skills and is also designed towards the neuro-motor development of the child.
SPORT-SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT (8-12 YEARS)
This is a group-based program where different sport skills are taught in a fun and exciting manner.
WATER KINETICS (3-13 YEARS)
Combining gross motor skills with the basic water safety skills necessary for a child to be safe in the water. This program enhances water confidence and aids rehabilitation.
FUNGYM (3-13 YEARS)
This is a fun-filled group program where various aspects of gross motor development are focussed on such as balance, body awareness, spatial orientation, coordination, rhythm and timing.
PHYSIOLIFE KIDS
Physiolife Kids, managed by our licensed kids physiotherapist Maxine.
Maxine is a physiotherapist with a special interest in paediatrics with training in the assessment and treatment of a child from birth, through childhood and even up to adolescence for a wide variety of conditions. Using her physiotherapeutic knowledge and special interest training, Maxine can assist a child with musculoskeletal pain, joint instability or hypermobility, poor biomechanics and difficulties with balance, strength, co-ordination, agility and proprioception.
Motor development
Gross motor developmental milestones include rolling, crawling, walking, running and jumping. A child that does not achieve the appropriate gross motor milestones for their age group may be considered to have delayed developmental milestones.
assessments
Some childhood genetic conditions have musculoskeletal or cardiorespiratory effects. Common genetic conditions treated by physiotherapists include Down’s Syndrome, Cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome.
Respiratory Conditions
Physiotherapists are equipped to assess and treat patients with respiratory concerns. Commonly treated respiratory conditions in babies and children can take the form of an acute infection (bronchiolitis or pneumonia) or a more chronic condition (asthma or cystic fibrosis).
