Background

About Line Malan

I graduated from the University of the Free State in South Africa in 2014 with a First Class Honours Degree in Biokinetics (a specialised discipline of exercise therapy that exclusively prescribes individualised programs for rehabilitation and promotion of health and quality of life). I then went on to complete a Master's thesis in Biokinetics while also refining my skills working at the University’s Sports Medical Clinic. Not only did I refine my skills in private practice, but I also offered various sessions to clients who needed advice, mentoring and assistance with health, fitness and rehabilitation which confirmed that I had a clear passion for helping and educating people about the science and physiology behind exercise and the human body. More recently I have gained valuable work experience by providing musculoskeletal injury prevention initiatives, musculoskeletal assessments, health and fitness coaching, injury rehabilitation, client/project management and general group fitness classes. On top of the above mentioned, being a professional sportswoman myself, I have learnt a lot from my sporting career which I have been able to translate to my educational career. From the diverse workplaces I have been exposed to, I have developed a base of pronounced interpersonal skills. I am naturally a leader, an independent hard worker and always strive to bring value to a team. I am a firm believer that exercise is medicine. The most satisfying accomplishment in life is to make a positive difference in the life of someone else and I aim to use my knowledge and expertise to help people achieve their goals.
