I have been practicing as an osteopath in Valkenburg aan de Geul since 2007, and since 2026, I am also practicing at Osteopathie Herengracht. Osteopathy can offer a solution for patients who have been told by their doctor or physical therapist that nothing more can be done for them. Patients visit the clinic with a wide variety of complaints, including back and neck pain, headaches, abdominal pain, and chronic issues. My treatment focuses on restoring mobility: using gentle manipulative techniques, I restore the body's natural movement. This safe method of treatment is suitable for everyone, from babies to the elderly.<\/p>\n

I started playing handball when I was nine years old, and frequent sports injuries often put me on the treatment table myself. That sparked my interest in physical therapy, which I went on to study after high school. After graduating, I worked in Germany \u2014 which, unfortunately, also meant the end of my handball career, since the training demands to stay competitive at Eredivisie level had intensified. Shortly after, I moved to a practice in Heerlen, which I took over in 2002 together with three colleagues, forming a physical therapy partnership. During that time, I was studying osteopathy in Antwerp alongside my work, a course I completed in 2006 with my thesis. Since then, I have held the D.O.-MRO title as a registered osteopath with the Dutch professional association for osteopaths. A referral from a general practitioner is not required for osteopathy.<\/p>\n

Sports have always remained a constant thread: after several years of squash, I moved on to marathon running, triathlon, and kickboxing. As part of my mandatory continuing education, I completed a specialized program in Osteopathy and Sports, and my internship during that program connected me to motorsport. Many other (elite) athletes \u2014 including tennis players, golfers, football players, and indoor sports athletes \u2014 regularly visit my practice, particularly for injury prevention, since prevention is better than cure. I also write training programs for competitive runners and coach strength athletes and bodybuilders to optimize their training.<\/p>\n
