Jolene Mortimer, the founder, and owner of Jolene Mortimer Incorporated Biokineticists, has embarked on a personal journey of pain that she now considers a true blessing in her career. She grew up watching a mother who suffered from chronic pain and multiple misdiagnoses on an Auto-Immune Disorder.
This prompted an interest in the human body and how to heal it. Added to this, her personal experiences of chronic lower back and neck pain due to multiple herniated discs and spine degeneration, along with a multitude of other joint conditions (due to a suspected genetic cause), have provided her with a unique perspective and a heightened ability to empathize with her patients and the challenges they face. This understanding allows her to forge deep connections with them, fostering a safe and supportive environment where open expression of concerns and fears is encouraged.
As a child, Chané was absolutely fascinated by how stuff worked. Her gran once told her she showed them a beautiful music box with a dancing ballerina. While her cousins stood around admiring the music and the moving object, Chané was the one lifting it up, trying to figure out how it worked and where the music was coming from.
This curiosity extended to how the human body moved and the science behind it. That’s one of the major reasons she chose to pursue a career in a human movement-related field. Biokinetics, which focuses on the movement of the body, allowed her to combine her passion for understanding movement with the opportunity to work with diverse individuals and share her knowledge on how their bodies move and the reasons behind pain, discomfort, or dysfunction.
Your first initial consultation would include a comprehensive orthopaedic examination as well as functional movement screening. This will pinpoint the source of the pain and allow us to formulate a treatment accordingly.
Jolene has always been accommodating for my needs. She created a rehabilitation plan that is suitable for my recovery and she is always available should I have any queries. Jolene makes sure that the sessions at Metalab are fun and enjoyable, always making me look forward to the next. Thank you Jolene!

Jolene has been absolutely amazing! She ensures that you get the results that you want. With her background in Biokinetics, she ensures that you do the exercises correctly: from correct posture to using the correct muscles to do the exercise. I have definitely seen great results thanks to her expertise and patience.

Had never been a serious ‘gym’ person, but that all changed when I met Jolene. I’ve been training with her for 10 months now, and am hooked on her style and way of training me. Jo has a gentle persuasive way of making me push myself to do much more than I think possible. In the 10 months, I’ve never done the same workout twice. With Jo being a biokineticist, she understands my body - it’s aches, it’s pains, it’s limitations, it’s max limits and she expertly adjusts my training sessions accordingly. I walk away from each session with Jo tired, but happy and motivated! Jo has helped me fully recover from a grade II/III Rectus Femoris injury 9 months ago, and you be hard pressed these days to know which leg had the injury. I am grateful for Jo’s commitment and recommend her for any fitness journey you would like to embark on.
Lynne Eekhof | Female 50+
Jolene has helped me, a 70+ year old, 65kg runner, arrest and recover age-related declining muscle mass – sarcopenia. Using her clear skills and knowledge, combined with a light touch and some laughter, she has helped me achieve this in just two sessions a week. There is an added component of variety which always keeps the sessions entertaining. Only to be recommended.
Dave Collins | Male 70+ - Running Enthusiast and Scientist
Love my training experience with Jo! She keeps it challenging and interesting. I have increased my strength a lot and having a ton of fun along the way!
Jahna Engelbrecht | Female - Fitness Enthusiast
I was in a car accident in mid 2022 that left me with a broken femur, broken AC joint and dislocated shoulder. After seeing a physio I needed more assistance to start walking without a crutch and get my shoulders working properly again so that I could return to normal daily life and start rock climbing again.

I hired Jolene when I discovered through a Biokinetic assessment that I have less strength in my upper body than what is ideal. She initially worked on stabilizing my weak points in my upper body, and then on building up towards muscular strength and power. I have loved getting the “inside track” from her on all the biomechanics at work in my body. Her knowledge of the body and how it works gave me huge insight in what I was working in my body and added an extra dimension of education and safety, which I really enjoy as a Body Movement Specialist. I have enjoyed her relaxed yet very focused manner in how she facilitates my workouts. Her strengths are her knowledge, her dedication and that she goes the extra mile for her clients. I am grateful I am one of them!
Susan Sloan | Female 50+ - Nia Black Belt Instructor and White Belt Trainer
Jo worked with me when all others didn’t want to. I have not only recovered and regained my strength and movement but also am back doing sports and living a healthier life. She is always switched on, and adapts her approach consistently to my requirements and goals. The love and attention she puts into her clients is next level!
