A sports injury needs a precise diagnosis: a sprained ligament heals differently from a torn one, a tendon overload differently from a tear. In the first consultation we test the joint and, for muscles and tendons, use diagnostic ultrasound to see what is damaged and how badly. That decides the plan: how long to protect, when to load, when to run again.
If an injury needs a doctor, an MRI or an orthopaedic surgeon, we say so and help you get there quickly.
The first weeks are about healing and keeping the rest of your body fit. Then the work moves to the exercise room: strength, stability, balance and, for runners and field athletes, running drills and change of direction. We test before you return to full training, so that the first match is not the test.
Shockwave therapy for stubborn tendons, dry needling for overloaded muscles and taping are part of the toolbox when they help.

Sports injuries are treated from supplementary insurance: 62 euros for the first consultation, 47 euros per follow-up. Ultrasound is 32 euros and focal shockwave 14 euros per session, often partly reimbursed.

The sports injuries we treat most often at the Panweg.
The most common sports injury. We check the ligaments, start loading early and train the balance that prevents the next sprain.
Meniscus, ligament and patella problems, from a twisted knee in hockey to runner’s knee. Ultrasound, strength and a return-to-sport test.
Rehabilitation after an ACL injury or reconstruction: nine to twelve months with clear milestones, in our exercise room.
A sudden pull while sprinting. Ultrasound shows the grade; a graded running programme gets you back without re-tearing.
Tendon pain that will not go away with rest. Loading exercises and, when needed, shockwave therapy.
Overhead sport, swimming, tennis and the gym overload the rotator cuff. Diagnosis, strength and technique.
Pain along the shin in runners. Load management, footwear, running technique and strength.
Overload of the forearm tendons, not only in players. Loading exercises, shockwave and a look at your technique.
Golf, cycling, rowing and swimming load the back in their own way. We find the weak link.
MoveWell Fysiotherapie Hilversum is er voor alle leeftijden en vrijwel elke klacht kan behandeld worden door een fysiotherapeut. Wij leggen u dit uit in 3 stappen om de aanpak van de fysiotherapeut beter te begrijpen.
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.
Often partly, yes. Rest heals the injury but weakens everything else. Your physiotherapist tells you what you can keep doing, and we adapt your training rather than stopping it.
When you pass the tests, not when a calendar says so. We measure strength, balance and sport-specific movements and compare them with your healthy side before you return.
Usually not. Clinical tests and ultrasound answer most questions in the first visit. For suspected cruciate ligament or meniscus damage we refer you for an MRI through your GP.
Yes. Growing athletes get injuries of their own, such as Osgood-Schlatter or Sever’s disease. For specialised paediatric physiotherapy we work with the children’s physiotherapist of MoveWell Hilversum.
From supplementary insurance, yes, as regular physiotherapy. We invoice the insurer directly.
Of course. A tennis elbow from gardening or a sprained ankle from a kerb gets the same examination and plan.
Yes. A short screening of strength, mobility and balance shows where your risk is, and a preventive programme takes a few weeks.
