English-speaking physiotherapy
Physiotherapy in Rotterdam, in English
Explain your complaint in your own words and understand exactly what is going on and what you can do about it. All our physiotherapists speak English, at all three locations.
Sound familiar?
You live or study in Rotterdam, and something hurts: your back, your knee, your shoulder. You want to explain it properly and understand what is going on, without searching for the right Dutch words.
And how does physiotherapy actually work in the Netherlands? Do you need a referral? Is it covered by your insurance? We will help you with all of it, in English.
How physiotherapy works in the Netherlands
- No referral needed: you can book an appointment directly, without seeing a GP first.
- Insurance: with supplementary insurance (aanvullende verzekering) your treatment is usually covered. We work with all insurers except CZ and Nationale-Nederlanden.
- No supplementary insurance? Assessment €61, extended assessment including your first treatment €112, treatment session €51.
Not sure what your policy covers? Ask us at your first appointment, we are happy to check it with you.

Wat onze cliënten zeggen
Davey
I came in with a complaint I had had for 2 years and one I had had for more than 8 months. I had physiotherapy several times for these complaints and it helped little or not at all. Now I have been to Fysioplan and my complaints were gone within about 2 months. I was helped well and they thought along with me about what I could do at the gym. Recommended.
Jannie
A fun, friendly and dynamic team of young therapists with a clear vision. They take plenty of time to listen to your complaints and then draw up a step-by-step plan to get you back on your feet.
Toby
After struggling with a knee injury for more than a year, two months ago I chose a physiotherapy practice that was new to me, Fysioplan, and ended up with Pauline. Now, two months later, my complaints are gone and I have run a personal record on the half marathon!
