Physiotherapy in Hilversum, in English

MoveWell’s physiotherapy department has its own team, its own entrance (Hoge Naarderweg 3A, lower ground floor) and its own website in Dutch. Our physiotherapists speak English and treat complaints of muscles, tendons and joints, guide rehabilitation after injury or surgery, and train you in our medical fitness centre. Physiotherapy is directly accessible; no referral is needed. Contracts with all Dutch health insurers.

What the physiotherapist does

Examination and treatment of muscles, tendons and joints; exercise therapy; manual therapy; rehabilitation after a back, knee, hip or shoulder operation or after a sports injury; and training in our own gym with measuring equipment. The physiotherapist explains which steps are needed and how long recovery will roughly take. Because the chiropractors work in the same building and file, you can move between both professions without starting again.

MoveWell also has a physiotherapy practice in Zeist: MoveWell Physiotherapy Zeist.

Specialisations in our team

Manual therapy, sports physiotherapy, paediatric physiotherapy (0 to 18 years), geriatric physiotherapy, dry needling, shockwave therapy, diagnostic ultrasound, hand therapy and back rehabilitation. The right knowledge is always in house.

Physiotherapy at home is possible in Hilversum and the surrounding villages with a referral from a GP or specialist.

Diagnostics and treatment techniques

Diagnostic ultrasound

Rugpijn MoveWell

Our physiotherapists make an ultrasound of the muscle, tendon or bursa in the practice, and work with GPs and hospitals for further imaging.

Shockwave therapy

Schouderpijn MoveWell

Radial and focused shockwave for stubborn tendon and muscle problems such as heel spur, tennis elbow and calcific shoulder. MoveWell has both devices.

Dry needling

Hoofdpijn movewell

Thin needles release trigger points in tight muscles, used as part of the treatment by trained physiotherapists.

Rehabilitation and training

After a back, knee, hip or shoulder operation, after a fracture or a sports injury, you rehabilitate in our gym under the guidance of a physiotherapist. When treatment ends you can continue with medical fitness and the EGYM training circuit, which adjusts the resistance to your strength and measures your progress. Many patients keep training after they have recovered.

Frequently asked questions about physiotherapy

Do I need a referral for physiotherapy in the Netherlands?

No. Physiotherapy is directly accessible. A referral is only needed for treatment at home and for chronic conditions reimbursed from the basic insurance.

How is physiotherapy reimbursed?

From the supplementary insurance: a number of sessions per year, depending on your package. MoveWell has contracts with all Dutch insurers, so we invoice the insurer directly. International insurers normally accept our invoices.

Should I see a chiropractor or a physiotherapist?

For back, neck and joint pain with stiffness, the chiropractor is usually the first step; for muscle and tendon problems, rehabilitation and training, the physiotherapist. At MoveWell we decide together after the first examination.

Can I just come to train in your gym?

Yes. Medical fitness and the EGYM circuit are open to patients after treatment and to members. Ask at the desk or on the Dutch website.
