How does physiotherapy work?

In the Netherlands, physiotherapists are the go-to professionals to visit after an injury or for physical pain, in contrast to many other countries where people typically turn to chiropractors or osteopaths. Dutch health insurance usually covers the entire cost of physiotherapy, while osteopathy and chiropractic care often have only partial coverage. Moreover, no doctor referral is required, and appointments are typically available within 48 hours.

How to Identify a Qualified Physiotherapist?

The Netherlands prioritizes accessible and high-quality healthcare. Every physiotherapist completes a rigorous 4-year education and receives a professional healthcare registration number (BIG). Additionally, they must work a minimum of 20 hours weekly to maintain their practical skills.

To showcase their professional dedication and commitment to staying up-to-date with evolving medical practices, physiotherapists also have the opportunity to enroll in the Central Quality Register (KRF), established by the professional organization Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF).

Our practice, Evolution Fysiotherapie, proudly maintains both BIG and CKR registrations, ensuring the latest and highest-quality treatment and examination techniques for our patients. We are dedicated to innovation, meeting patient needs, and staying at the forefront of physical therapy in the Netherlands.

Preparing for Your First Visit?

For your initial appointment, bring your ID for verification; your health insurance card is optional. Wear comfortable clothing to facilitate easy access to the affected area and that allow you to move comfortably.

While we can examine you through your clothing, certain techniques like ultrasound and taping require direct skin contact. If you have a therapist preference, mention it when booking, or select your choice on our website. We prioritize hygiene, providing fresh towels and bed covers for each patient.
