On completion of the internship and registration, a biokineticist can open their own practice. It should be noted that there are a lot of costs involved in the layout of such a center. Those in private practice usually operate in close co-operation with doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians, etc. to be able to offer a comprehensive health service to the public.
