About me

In over 37 years of experience as a physiotherapist, I have seen many patients struggle with medical problems for years. Underload or overload, accidents, illnesses or imbalances can cause disturbances, which in turn cause problems in the body. These musculoskeletal disorders can cause various syndromes that can be remedied with targeted treatments.

 

Various insurance companies, labor experts and doctors have been referring patients to me for treatment for over 20 years to ensure they can live without pain, in proper balance and an improved energy level.

 

My treatments are not just limited to physiotherapy. Advice, coaching and tools for everyday life, as well as correct postures and exercises done at home will also help you achieve optimal results. I also connect mind and body in my work to ensure that everything works in balance.

My goal is to offer my patients a pain-free life in which they can move freely and continue their lives with the right energy and balance.

 

Take a look at my references to get an idea of ​​my work.
