AVAILABLE THERAPIES

You can make an appointment for a physiotherapy examination without needing a referral. Thanks to thorough training, this physiotherapist has been directly accessible for Screening and Intake since 2006, and that is very easy! But of course you can also contact us if you are referred to a physiotherapist by your GP or specialist.

In addition to regular physiotherapy, our practice offers many other therapies, which you can read more about in the Therapies menu.

Of the total package of therapies that we offer you, only Physio and/or Manual therapy is reimbursed by your health insurer (provided you have taken out additional insurance). If you choose additional treatments in our practice, you must always pay the costs yourself.

The physiotherapist Doetinchem is the expert when it comes to the human musculoskeletal system. He treats patients who have difficulty moving in daily life. The Netherlands has approximately 16,000 physiotherapists who work in independent practices, health centers, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and, increasingly, on the industrial floor.

During physiotherapy, the physiotherapist treats individual or groups of patients. In addition to the treatment, which may include exercise therapy and massage therapy, the physiotherapist also uses his expertise preventively: for example when advising or guiding patients.

PE/EPTE in PPE Therapy

PE / EPTE stands for Percutaneous Electrolysis Therapy [PE for short] and is a treatment method specially developed for the treatment of chronic tendonitis of, for example, the knee, shoulder, elbow and Achilles tendon.

Read more about this on our PE/EPTE and EPI Therapy page.

Manual therapy

Manual therapy is a specialization within physiotherapy. It is always a treatment method that directly affects the joints of our body, especially those of the spine. In my view it is an integrated system and cannot be seen separately from physiotherapy. Physiotherapy and manual therapy often overlap during treatment.

Many systems have been developed worldwide, to which just as many names are associated. However, the essence is often the same. Central to all forms of manual therapy is improving joint movements throughout the body. At Physiotherapy & ShockWave Doetinchem, the Maitland method is applied. This always starts with "soft", springy pressure techniques, and sometimes (but certainly not always) ends with a quick movement to release the remaining blockage. (“Kraken”)

Facial therapy

Do you often have recurring complaints, for example in the lower back, neck or shoulder? Do you have a new complaint that does not heal spontaneously or have you been suffering from pain for years? Have you improved your performance but are hampered by recurring sports injuries?

Golf physio

In 2009 I was trained as a Golf Physio Pro through 2 professional courses.

The objective of the Golf Physio Therapist is to allow the golfer to practice golf in maximum physical responsibility, all within the player's capabilities, whereby the technical/tactical part of the game naturally lies with the Golf Pro of your club. Using various specific treatment methods, I want to give the golf practitioner a symptom-free golf game and optimal playing pleasure.
