Meet Jaco Esterhuizen
Jaco Esterhuizen is a passionate and dedicated Biokineticist here in the Northen suburbs, where he practices within an orthopedic and neurological setting. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of the Western Cape before obtaining his postgraduate qualification in Biokinetics from the University of Cape Town.
Since qualifying as a Biokineticist in 2023, Jaco has been committed to helping individuals regain confidence in their movement, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life through evidence-based exercise rehabilitation. He has a particular passion for neurological rehabilitation and enjoys working with older adults, helping them maintain their independence, mobility, and overall wellbeing.
Jaco believes that every patient deserves personalized care, compassion, and the support needed to achieve their goals—because every step forward matters whether big or small. He is committed to continually expanding his knowledge and skills to ensure his patients receive the highest standard of care.
Outside of the practice, Jaco enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly spearfishing and rock-and-surf fishing. Whether in the clinic or on the coastline, he approaches every opportunity with dedication, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for helping others
