Back pain and sciatica: physiotherapy in Zeist

A sudden lock-up (spit) after lifting or twisting. We get you moving again in the first session and give you a plan to prevent the next one.

A bulging disc pressing on a nerve, with pain into the leg. Most herniations recover without surgery; we guide that recovery and track nerve function.

Pain, tingling or numbness along the sciatic nerve into the buttock, thigh or calf. Nerve mobilisation, posture and graded loading.

Pain that has lasted longer than three months. We look at load, sleep, stress and fitness, and build a training programme that you can keep up.

Stiff lower back and hips from sitting. Mobilisation, hip strength and a few changes to your workplace.

Golf, cycling, running, hockey and swimming each load the back in their own way. We analyse the movement and fix the weak link.

A narrowed spinal canal, usually after sixty, with pain when walking that eases when you bend forward. Training and advice that keep you walking.

Rehabilitation after a discectomy or fusion, following the surgeon’s protocol, in our exercise room.

For some backs an adjustment by the chiropractor makes the difference. MoveWell Chiropractie Zeist works in the same building.

First we restore movement. Pain makes you guard the area, and a joint or muscle that is not used stiffens further. Hands-on treatment, mobilisation and the first gentle exercises get you moving again, usually within the first two or three sessions.

Then we build strength and stability. In our exercise room at the Panweg you train the muscles that protect the joint, with a programme set by your physiotherapist and adjusted every visit. This is the part that makes the result last.

Finally we make it work in daily life: lifting, sitting at a desk, running, playing with your children. You leave with a short home programme and advice on posture and load, so you know what to do if the complaint ever returns.
