We collaborate closely with sports physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and trauma surgeons, with whom we hold joint consultations. As a result, we possess extensive knowledge, expertise, and experience in rehabilitation following sprains, joint twists, and osteoarthritis after joint surgery, as well as bone fractures and muscle tears.

As a physiotherapist, I believe it's important to work with the patient to determine how we can achieve their goals, taking into account all the influencing factors. I provide insight into the complaint so the patient can continue independently and with confidence.

In my treatments, I seek a balance between scientific evidence and the patient's wishes. I also teach first-year physiotherapy students at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.

'Always communicate clearly: 'This is the plan, that is the timeline and this is what we ask of you.' I urge people to stick to their prescribed exercises, both here in the office and at home. I always insist on adherence to therapy – whether or not the patient himself is responsible for his recovery.'

'Focusing on the patient's self-management is essential. The time of the physiotherapist who gave standard massages is over, except for a few specific complaints. A thigh that is overloaded because someone regularly runs 10 kilometers, is not more resilient if I have massaged it. It undoubtedly feels a bit more pleasant temporarily, but it does not offer a permanent solution.'

I have been working at Fysioplein.
As a physiotherapist I really enjoy analyzing complaints and finding the cause of the complaint. When someone tells me after a course that their goal has been achieved I am very happy and proud.

"My goal is to help people move freely again in an active and personal way. After completing my training, I further specialized as a Certified Mulligan Practitioner. The Mulligan Concept method is an effective manual technique that combines mobilization with movement to restore pain-free movement. Through this "With this method, I can quickly and effectively treat many movement problems, often with immediately noticeable results. This can be applied to all joints throughout the body."
