I specialize in injury prevention for various types of sports (a.o. running, biking, taekwondo, tennis and dancers) and rehabilitation after operations and injuries. I have treated people with migraines, hernias, torticollis, arthritis, osteoporosis, sciatica, tennis elbow, scoliosis, hyper-mobility, urticaria, broken bones, implants, trapped shoulder tendons, diabetes, fused vertebrae, cesareans, urethra, hypo/hyper glycemia, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, tendonitis and thoracic outlet syndrome. I use massage and stretching in combination with various physio and ostheo techniques, such as:
- NMT (neuromuscular techniques): trigger/reflex points and deep friction.
- STR (soft tissue release).
- MET (muscle energy techniques): PIR (post isometric relation) and RI (reciprocal inhibition).
- PR (positional release). My goal is to have every client leave feeling relaxed and well informed about what was done, why and how they can prevent it from happening again. On a first appointment I will speak extensively with every client before beginning the treatment. The key to success is a two-way communication about expectations and what each of us is feeling during and after the treatment. After treatments I will usually pull out an ipad to visualise what a client felt and what I was working on. I use a great 3D app called Visible Body which shows a.o. attachment points of muscles and their actions. Often I will send stretches or strengthening exercises, via Whats App or email, that can be done at home.
