Freek van Driel

From my own experience as an athlete, the desire arose at a young age to guide others in the recovery from injuries. In 2019, I graduated as a physiotherapist from the University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht. In the years that followed, I worked as a physiotherapist, small group trainer and personal trainer. During this period, not only did my professional knowledge grow, but also my view of the person behind the complaint.

Gradually I discovered that physical complaints are often more than just a local problem. Emotions, behavior, patterns or long-term stress can have a major impact on recovery. That is why in my treatment I look beyond just the physical aspect of the complaint.

Both as a person and as a therapist, I think it is important that you feel seen and heard. I take the time to listen to you, think along with you, and together look for an approach that suits your situation and your body.

You can come to me for complaints of the entire musculoskeletal system: from sports injuries to chronic pain, with attention to you as a whole. In my approach, I combine the physical with the mental. Where appropriate, I use elements from breathwork and coaching to get to the core of a complaint.
