hospitals, rehabilitation centres, nursing homes and, increasingly, on the work floor.

I treat patients who are hindered in their daily movements...by pain, wear and tear, or other causes.

What does a physiotherapist do?

The physiotherapist treats individual or groups of patients. In addition to the treatment, which can include exercise therapy and massage therapy, the physiotherapist also uses his expertise preventively: for example, when advising or guiding patients. But also innovative research and treatment methods, such as Ultrasound and ShockWave, Laser therapy, EPTE, etc. See also Therapies for more information about this.

The physiotherapist's treatment can have various goals. For example, improving the motor function, maintaining it and preventing new complaints. Sometimes he will also guide patients to learn to live with a disability and help him to be able to work again, for example. In recent years, much attention has been paid to preventive health care. The physiotherapist plays an important role in preventing diseases and complaints and bases his work as much as possible on scientific insights and translates that knowledge into his actions in practice.

Do I need a referral?

You do not need a referral if you want to see a physiotherapist. You can of course always consult your GP first if you prefer, but you are free to choose to contact a physiotherapist directly. We call this DTF: Direct Access Physiotherapy.
