Short lines to your GP and the hospital

Just discharged from UMC Utrecht, the Diakonessenhuis or St. Antonius Hospital? We request the handover from your orthopaedic surgeon or neurologist before your first appointment. You don't have to tell your story again, and we know exactly what you can and can't do yet.

Your GP receives a short report after your first assessment and again when treatment ends. If we notice something that doesn't add up during treatment, we get in touch the same day.

  • Referrals via ZorgDomein or Zorgmail
  • Coordination with the practice nurse (POH) for COPD and elderly care
  • Consultation with district nurses and occupational therapists when you rehabilitate at home
Treatments

What we can help you with

We are a rehabilitation practice. Many of our patients come to us after surgery or a hospital stay, live with a neurological condition, or are getting older. Everyday back or shoulder problems are welcome too.

After surgery

Rehab after a new knee or hip, a cruciate ligament reconstruction or shoulder surgery. We pick up where the hospital leaves off.

Parkinson's

Older adults and fall prevention

Afraid of falling, or already had a fall? We measure your balance and train you to feel steady on your feet again.

Chronic pain

Long-term back or neck pain needs more than massage. We explain what is going on and build up your activity step by step.

COPD and lungs

Training for fitness, strength and breathing, so stairs and shopping take less out of you.

How it works

From first call to final session

  1. 1

    Get in touch

    Call us or fill in the form. With a referral from your GP or specialist, or without one: both are fine.

  2. 2

    Screening and assessment

    At your first appointment we check whether physiotherapy suits your problem. If it doesn't, we tell you honestly and refer you back to your GP.

  3. 3

    A plan with concrete goals

    Together we decide what you want to be able to do again. Climb your own stairs, do the shopping, cycle to the market on the Vredenburg.

  4. 4

    Treatment and wrap-up

    We measure your progress and keep your GP informed. You go home with exercises you can keep up on your own.

Experiences

What patients tell us

Two days after I came home from the Antonius with my new hip, they had a slot for me. After ten weeks I was cycling to my allotment again. No fuss, just good work.

My husband has Parkinson's. In the Wednesday group he learns tricks to stop freezing in doorways, and I'm welcome to join him in the gym. It gives us both peace of mind.
Ellen B.Partner of a group member, Wittevrouwen
I'd had back pain for years and expected another massage. Priya explained how pain works and built up the exercises gradually. I'm back to working full days.
